Hi harlews,

As this is an OEM drive and is thus unsupported by Matshita, I doubt that you will find a Sony specific firmware update other than on Vaio-Link. Have you checked there?

Hi harlews,

Sony tend to use a number of different optical drives when producing their Vaio's.

It usually states in the optical drives Installation Instructions 'Please check in device manager if your VAIO is using the optical drive in question.'

Unfortunately if Sony have not listed a firmware update for your optical drive then one is not available..
