You can download any available ODD (Optical Disc Drive) updates from http://us.lgservice.com. Click Product Support, click Optical, choose your model number from the list, and click go. Click the Drivers & Software tab. Download the latest version posted (highest number).

The firmware for all recent drives works with Windows. Before running the update, make sure the drive is empty. Close as many programs running the background as you can. Run the downloaded executable file to start the update. Some will automatically start updating the dive and some will require you to push "Upgrade" or "Start". If the firmware doesn't see the drive it was designed for, it will not install.

WARNING: Never update the firmware if the problem you're having is the drive isn't seen by windows, won't write with the included software, or other interface related problems. Unless the firmware specifically states it fixes the problem you are having, firmware updates normally don't fix these types of problems. Trying to update the firmware when there are interface problems can damage the drive's firmware. An error when updating the firmware is usually caused by a problem with the drive interface or there is more than one drive connected to that IDE channel.

IMPORTANT: do not interfere with the drive during the firmware update. If an error occurs during the upgrade process, or the upgrade process is cancelled during this process, damage to the drive can occur. If you experience any problems or have any questions, please contact our LG customer support line toll-free at 1-800-243-0000.
Hope this helps you

I downloaded the LG Mobile Support Tool at http://www.51spsoft.com/Download.asp?ID=34522, which easily downloaded and installed the right firmware for me.

need to check firmware version then update it

Here's how to get LG's Auto Firmware Updater
Go here :
http://www.lge.com/support/software.jsp
Select
> Location = North America > USA/ Canada
Then
> Product = DVD-ROM (writer)
> Operating System = Vista
> Subject = LG Auto Firmware Download

Download the .zip file to your Desktop
You'll need to "Extract All" from the .zip
and then run the setup file
You'll need to allow Internet Access ( AV/IS )
The Updater will probably need to Update itself - before being active


To Manually Search For Firmware Updates
> Product = DVD-ROM (writer)
> Operating System = Vista
> Subject = Firmware
Look through the Listings for your Specific Drive
I would recommend Disabling the LG Auto Firmware Updater
- from Windows Start-up
You can open the Updater at any time - from All Programs

find B2CAppSetup.exe,its program from LG to update firmware of your phone

hello, did you get firmware update for the lg unit? they give updates to give the drive more capabilities. if you bought the drive, and added it the lg updater is on the cd with all the other software,nero,ect. it is called lg odd auto firmware updater. this may help you,and i could not hurt the system. they give me 2 updates a year(love lightscribe) other possible things, did it stop working after a nero or other software change or update? if you need further assistance reply.

We just bought this phone today and after a few hours, it just started rebooting randomly. We were getting ready to return the phone, and then updated the firmware and now have no more reboots. Here are the steps for a firmware update:

1. From the Home icon select, the OK/Menu button
2. Go to Tools
3. Scroll down to Update Phone (or press #) and press OK
   
4. Select Updated Firmware (or press 1)
5. Follow onscreen instructions

After the download completes, the firmware package is installed. For the last several hours, we've had no more reboots or power downs.
