Snikker stuurt ons door naar het forum van CD Freaks, waar 'Liggy' een topic heeft geplaatst met daarin de werking van UniFlash 0.91. Dit programma is in staat om in Windows, Linux en MacOS de firmware van en naar een NEC dvd-brander te flashen. Voor de tweakers die te lui zijn om naar het forum te surfen, staat hieronder beschreven hoe je UniFlash moet gebruiken:
First you have to call the program with option -scan. This will list all devices supported by the flasher. It may also list the notebook drives 5x00 and 6x00. The 5x00 may work, but has not been tested before, the 6x00 will not work at all.
Then you can use the program with option "-dump [Filename] [Device]" to dump your current firmware to a file, just in case something goes wrong. The resulting file should have a size of 634,888 Bytes for 1x00 and compatible drives and 1,024,004 Bytes for 2x00 and 3x00 compatible drives.
If you want to flash your drive, you can do so by calling the program with options "-flash [Filename] [Device]" similar to the -dump option. After a few seconds, flashing should be done. In order to be able to burn discs again, you may need to reboot your PC. For external enclosures turning off and back on again should also do the trick.
