Change to Gateway/Liteon firmware |

| Hi,
I have a Gateway AR-230, with the 1163 firmware. I have been having some disc fail issues. I researched and found that you can update the firmware with the Lite-On LVW-5001 firmware - as thay are the same unit. My question is - with the firmware update, the screens will show Lite-On. Is there a way to edit the firmware to say Gateway? I know its a goofy request. I have searched through different forums, and have only found how to change colors. Thanks for your help. |

| Editing a binary firmware file is not a trivial item. Is there a way to do it? Yes, almost certainly. Is it something you should attempt? Definitely not, unless you are familiar with editing binary files. |

| No offense intended, but working on firmware is one of those things that if you have to ask how to do it, you're not qualified to do it. I don't know how to do it, by the way. For such a trivial change, I can't recommend that you try. If you fail, you'll brick the recorder. Given how DVD recorders are vanishing from the US and Canadian marketplaces, do you REALLY want to risk destroying your player when you can just leave it alone and not destroy it? |

The AR 23o is a liteon clone Go to this site AND read the section on The Smart farmware Hacker http://www.ss3f.com/ilo Edit PS You should have a working copy of the firmware [Copy It and work with it] |
