Firmware 2.0 Disc Backordered... Could someone help?

Gregory Suarez · 10-27-2006, 12:17 PM

I got a message from Toshiba in the mail that the firmware v2.0 disc is on backorder. I called their customer service number and the rep said they do not know when more will be available.

Because of this (and because I would need an impossible length of CAT 5 cable to update via the Internet) I was wondering if someone out there could help me out.

If you have the v2.0 Toshiba disc I would ask that you mail it to me (I live in the Dayton, OH area) so that I can update my player (I checked and out-of-the-box it's v1.4) and then I will send it back to you and enclose repayment of the money spent sending it to me. I am desperate to check out Dolby TrueHD 5.1 discs and I simply cannot now.

If you're willing to do this, please respond to this thread and we'll coordinate details.

Thanks

Let me know where to send it and I'll mail it out today.

Ron,

Thanks so much; you're a life-saver. Check your PM for my details.

Same request, since I asked after Greg

I live in the Northern Virginia area (Alexandria, Arlington, Springfield, Lorton).

Same deal. I'll pay for shipping there and back

Maybe if it's okay with Ron, I could send it to you when I'm done with it instead of ping-ponging it across the country and back.

Ron, let us know.

Thanks

You could download version 2.0 from here (slow site) http://www.1080x1920.net/index.php?o...gid=4&Itemid=5 then use Nero to burn an image file to CDR (don't use a CD-RW).

Ron-P · 10-27-2006, 04:05 PM

That's fine with me guys, just keep track of it as I don't want to loose it. Greg, send it to Chuck and then Chuck can send it back to me. Just keep me posted here in this thread if you don't mind.

It'll be in the mail on it's way to Greg today.

Did you just come across this site when looking or do you know anyone that has actually used this file?

If it will make things easier, I can mail my firmware disc to Chuck directly so he doesn't have to wait as long.

Chuck Mayer · 10-27-2006, 05:12 PM

I'll take Larry up on that and save Greg and Ron the hassle. Larry, you'll get it back ASAP, and in mint condition. I appreciate the assist, as BB is taunting me from it's packaging

Thanks,
Chuck

I used the update on both my HD-A1 and XA1 from the site without any problems.
