Granted I have an older unit but my updates come over the wifi in my home. It takes a while but it always gets there eventually.

You can update the firmware over the internet (ethernet or wi-fi), no need for a thumb drive or CD.

I received this LG BD670 as a gift. Kept getting "update failed." LG sent me a CD. Still wouldn't update. Sent it back and got another one (same model). Still doesn't update. Wouldn't a thumb drive work the same as the CD? Just wondering if there is anything else I should try before I send it back. Really love the picture quality as well as everything else about it. I only know this because my daughter has the same one.

I installed the upgrade from FP and it went fine. I did not have FP installed and it did not ask for the program disk or the product key. I'm guessing it will work for you as well.

Ronald T. Lintz did you reformat from windows or with the c250 detached from the Settings menu? Could someone please list the steps in order since I am slow and didn't get the USB after the firmware update. I picked Europe.

I have never had to update any firmware. I just load the copy and duplicate, I have never had to do that on any of my machines and I have been doing it fora long time.

Question - If you wanted to upgrade its hardrive, how do you get the Home Server Software installed on it?

Great I ordered thinking it came with Blu Ray drive. Can it be upgraded? I saw a video on YouTube that mentioned Blu Ray, but didn't exactly stated if it had it or not.

I'm also struggling. First how does one know if one needs the firmware update? How do you know what version is currently installed on the unit? When I run the update wizard from the Jabra web site, it just gets to the place where is says, "When the device has entered firmware upgrade mode Windows will install a device driver needed during the upgrade process. When the driver installation is completed the firmware download will begin automatically." But nothing ever happens. So I'm just as stuck. Sorry this is of no help.

Well, it does not seem so easy for me. It keeps looking for some .dll file and can't find it and won't download. I went I-Go and got the drivers, along with a Word file from BB on a very convoluted way of installing the drivers, which doesn't seem to work either. Obviously, I am quite frustrated. Your help or anyone's help is appreciated.

Me too! I'm not going to seriously consider purchasing anything computer related unless I see the manual that goes with it. Is it (i.e., Canvio) truly plug and play? Can you selectively choose individual files to back up? I'm not at all interested in wasting time and space backing up files that I really don't wish to back up. (I only wish to back up photographs.) Filtering through all the comments, while helpful writ large, takes a lot of time when looking for particular information. A manual please.

I'm also looking for this upgrade but I have a feeling we've been given bad information. I don't see anywhere on the VMware website about a free upgrade for recently purchased product. Only a paid upgrade. Chris L, where is it that you are entering your serial number online?

Here is a link to a firmware update- Your drive may already have this update but give it a try.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-207DBK

I am also looking for the memory upgrade. If someone who has done this could post details, I would be eternally grateful! Not a member of the geek sqad so I am not sure how to go about it - is there a specific type to buy and how do you instal it?

There is a fix online for this problem. I downloaded it and installed it today. It's listed under the 8500 firmware solutions. Just don't make the mistake of deciding to upgrade to the next release. I did and now I can't get it to install -- Fatal error. So I have no HP Solutions, and I can't scan anything. I dread the thought of calling for help tomorrow and try to get a resolve...

Am I crazy, or is it more than a bit offputting that, after buying a machine, you then have to start getting upgrades for it just to be able to play newer discs? My machine's about two years old, and the last disc I bought wouldn't load. Seems like a rip-off to me. And it's not like blu-ray sales have been strong enough to justify this sort of customer fleecing.

I use Acronis True Image for image back ups because it will create a bootable USB thumb drive to do the restore operation with, I've been leary of relying on the Windows backup...I'm using Windows 7...
