I flashed mine to 5S54 with DMA turned on an no problems. Why do I need (or should) turn DMA off ?
New Liteon firmware out 5S57 flashed mine seems ok.

Personly I think it was just a cache thing. I went to their site and still not there, hit Shift - Reload and bingo, was there.

swoosh over my head. the only reason i'm posting this is for the betterment of my knowledge.i also have a lite-on 241040 and i would like to know what firmware is?
Firmware is software that is stored in a chip inside the LiteOn (or any other burner, cdrom, dvdrom, HD, etc)
This software basically controls the fundermental way the unit works (similar to the BIOS in your computer's motherboard) and as with any bit of software, it can have bugs or shortcomings. When a problem/bug is found, they fix it, re-issue the firmware as an installable file (well LiteOn does, others do not) that basically overwrites the existing software with the new one.
Some people upgrade their Firmware as new versions are issued for their equipment without knowing what the differencs to older versions are. They assume the latest is the greatest (not always true!) Others take the attitude, if it aint broke, dont fix. Unless you are having some real problems with your unit, the latter option is allways the best.
Cheers,
CM
