Just been doing some Googling..looks like a few people have been having the same problems with A111 firmware.

Is it possible to flash back?

I had problems with A111 too. Focus error after 95% completing a dvd+r :(
I'm using the newest version of nero 6.x.25 !
I just downgraded to A110, which is working perfect for me.

Hi there...

Just found my way to this forum and it seems that here are a couple
of nice peoples. :)

Since 5 days or so i have a LG 4120b. It worked fine, I burned a couple
of DVDs (UDF) and a DVD Video wirh DVD Shrink. Today i thought it would
be clever to upgrade the existing firmware to the new A111.
And as it seems I was wrong. :(

Now when i try to burn a Video DVD I always get the error message
"focus or tracking error". But i still can burn ISO DVD, UDF DVD (tried with
a file ~3,5GB) and CD's, but.... no more Video DVD.

So is there any chance to downgrade the firmware again? Any links
where i can download the old (working) firmware?


What you reckon Dack..any advice would be appreciated  ;)

You should be able to Hookie providing you can find the original firmware.
You may find it on somewhere like www.driverguide.com   :)

Usually newer firmware has a higher number than the older ones and sometimes also a date Hookie  :)

Hook, if you go back to where you got the A111 version from (here), it does list downloads for previous versions, A101, A102, A104, A110.  Is that any use to you?   :-\

Hang on, I don't know if this will work, but how about starting with the oldest firmware, and work your way up?

The only other thing I can suggest is to e-mail LG support, and see if they can tell by the serial number, which firmware version it shipped with, and whether you can roll back without killing the drive.

It certainly might be an idea to try different discs, Hook.  My Sony DVD Writer didn't like Datawrite discs at all, but I've since been using these, with no trouble at all.  They also come in DVD-RW.
