Re: Bru Ray Drives in Dell Laptops

Dell doesn't write firmware. Dell will release the manufacturer's firmware after they have tested it.

If you got it from Dell then Dell has to support it. Call tech support or do an on-line chat. The on-line is better in my opinion.

I have but they say there are no plans to release one as yet, however the new films from the major studios are already being shipped

Dell didn't offer Blu-ray in the 1521.

They don't list your drive in the DVD/CD driver list download page for the 1525.

Did you buy the drive from Dell?

Why should Dell provide a driver for it?



Yes they did as I have one, and it came from Dell and it is in a 1521. and the reson they should provide a firmware update is because it is an OEM drive supplied by Panasonic and it is the OEM's responsability to supply firmware not the manufacturer, and being as the whole point of blu ray besides the storage capabilities is the abilty to upgrade the firmware to continually fight the copyright pirates then the drive is a bit useless if they dont do any updates
