I happened to come across this webbie modding of a Sony model #DW-U18A 8x single layer dvd burner to a dual.. Just wanna post here see any of u guys need it. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/109/1/

PS: i'll appreciate if someone have does something same to a Nec dvd burner and share it with me




Peace

don't know but the nec in your sig is a dual layer burner already.

oh, its for my bro. hes has one of the older one... but have no idea wat model is it and whether it is possible to do it.. LOLZ i just wanna try whether it really work well the mod

it's not possible this mod only works for burners that have a dual layer function but have been disabled in the bios to make it a lower price range product. the first nec dual layer is the one you have(i have the same one so i know). don't think you'll earn yourself al lot of money with this cause last week I bougth my father a dual layer burner for 35 euro.

I belive the first NEC DVD DL burner was the 2510a which I have. There are hacked firmwares for the 2500a to burn DL but it may not work.
