So I had this BD/DVD-burner for about a year and once burned a 25GB BD-RE with it. But now having reflashed to v 1.35, the drive neither burns nor reads BD disks. It reads/writes CDs/DVDs alright.

I tried to revert the firmware to the old version but the firmware doesn't allow to downgrade.

Do you know a utility that would allow me force flash the drive? Obviously other helpful comments are welcome.
