I have bought a Compaq Presario Lappy Model B1822TU. It has a DVD-RAM,Make Matshita,Model UJ-840J, which the SONY VIAO also has. I had gone to the The Firmware Page :: Index site to get a RPC firmware update for the drive to disable its DVD Region lock. However, only the SONY OEM RPC firmware for this drive is there in the site.
I wanted to use the firmware upgrade with DVD Region Killer, as I have done in my desktop pc to watch Region 1 & Region 2 DVDs, where the DVD drive is Lite-On. RPC firmware for Lite-On drives are available for most of its models.
Will I damage the DVD drive if I flash the SONY OEM firmware on my lappy ? I believe the Region lock of these Matshita drives cannot be disabled for laptops other than the SONY VIAO like Compaq, Toshiba etc. Can anyone help from where I can get the firmware ?
