Update Your Nec Dvd Burner Fireware To Get Dvd-ram Supported NEC ND-3550A to ND-4551A

[jedipi 0]

We all know that DVD/CD writer can get more function and improve

the quality of burning by updating it firmware.

 

NEC ND-3550A is an old model DVD writer. And it also is popular in

the market. NEC ND-4551A is an upgraded model of ND-3550A.

The difference between these two models is newer model support

DVD-RAM burning and LabelFlash. In my point of view, it is not

worthwhile to buy a new model (ND4551A) just for DVD-RAM supported.

 

There is a way to upgrade your NEC ND-3550A to ND4551A by

updating the firmware in just few steps.

 

Step 1, First, you need to download modified ND-4551A firmware,

Flash Utility and bootcode Flasher. These are 3 main programs.

Uncompress them to a same folder. They can be downloaded from

here http://www.host.sk/404.php

 

Step 2, run CMD (Command Prompt) in Windows XP. Change to the

folder which created in Step 1.

 

Step 3, Run necbfl, enter your DVD-ROM path (eg. E: is the DVD-ROM

drive, the path should be like this \\.\e:)

 

Step 4, Choose 2 (upgrade to ND-4550A) or choose 3 (upgrade to ND-4551A);

Then press Y. Upgrade process will be run.

 

Step 5, Please reboot your computer after the process finished.

 

Step 6, You will see that the status light of the DVD-ROM is flashing.

Don’t worry, this is normal. Run binflahs; then click on Flash.

 

Step 7, reboot your PC; Done.

 

Please notice, the warrantee of your DVD-ROM will be violated

after you flash in the firmware. Take your own risk.
