I copied this from pclinuxonline but I thought others here would like to see this
LG offers a solution for their sub par devices :
Go to : http://us.lgservice.com/ Choose Product support, then Device driver, CD-ROM and "Emergency download for Physical Dead Drive from Mandrake Linux 9.2" There is a Dead.gif file explaining the way to reflash the drive.
Does it work ?
they say their firmware is supported only on Brand LG cdrom, i have 2 CRD-8400B, but they are branded IBM, should i feel brave and try (they are not in brick-mode yet)?
