DVD Toshiba R2412 - Don't change region

[tadshiba]

I look for help because I can't play any DVD disc in a Toshiba Notebook A10 S1001.

I download the soft “DISC Info version 1.6.1” and the results are:

D: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2412

Firmware version: 1431
Vendor specific: 08/08/03
Extra info IT
Toshiba SD-R2412
Drive region status: Lock Detected
Region setting status Set
User changes left: 4
Manufactor resets left: 4
Current region set: 1
Read speed: 24x Write speed: 24x

Access Driver: SPTI (WinNT/2k/XP)

I went too to “http://www.toshibaer.com/firmware/SD-R2412 Toshiba Firmware, Use DISCInfo to check the status of your drives”. and found

14 SD-R2412_1431.zip zip 156.1 KB 29-May-06 1431 for the SD-R2412 (FOR DRIVES WITH 14XX FIRMWARE ONLY!)

I download the following firmwares: R2412_1018, R2412-1031, R2412-1615, R2412-X431, made a bootable cd disc with them I try to flash a new firmware. All of them result in HEX FILE ERROR.

Coul'd someone help me with this?

Thank you
