Does anyone have one I could use? Apparently the guy I bought this from lied about upgrading the firmware. Right now they are on version 1.38 and mine still has 1.12 so yeah its old. This is for a pioneer BDP-05FD or the BDP-51FD.
For some unknown reason I can not get this thing to burn to a disc on my computer. First the Iphone, now it won't burn, and blahhhh.

SO if anyone would have a disc with the firmware on it, I will pay the shipping for you to send it to me, seeing my computer will NOT let me do this for some unknown reason.

    I think mine already has 1.38 but the update should be available to me from pio. I can try to burn it for you if you want.

    If you would be willing to do so that would be great. I just cant get my computer to do it for some reason, IDK. I called them to see if they could send me one and the lady told me no that they don't do that, so yep.
    Just let me know if you would be willing to do so for me and just PM if you would like. Like I said I'll pay for the shipping ect if you would like.
    Thanks!

    I did call them and they told me they would not send it to me and I would have to either do it myself off the website or find a disk. That is what I was told.

    When I got my Pio blu ray player they added a thumb drive in the box. Maybe try to download it to one and put it in the USB port. See if that helps.

    Does that Pioneer player have a USB port? I don't remember....I bought one, then I left for China, so I never set it up. I too was able to download and burn the version 1.38 firmware upgrade onto a CD from their site...no problem.

    Now the problem I did have was downloading the firmware upgrade for my Toshiba HD-DVD....no dice on that one!

    go to the website and request it from there, it will be like your purchasing it but there is no charge, I just got mine but have yet to use it.

    well I've now tried it a few different ways and no luck.
    I burned it on my computer as the ISO file and no luck. Tried my Gf's no luck. Tried different ways to extract the file no luck.

    I tried to copy it over to the USB thingy and no luck with the player, it just sat there. Every time I do the disc it tells me it can't read it, or just says data disc and won't download.

    I am starting to wonder if its possibly due to how old the firmware thats on it. its a 1.12 which is like when the player first came out, and I'm trying to do the .38 and didn't know if that would cause problems.

    I'll try and see if I can get the disc online. Normally I call. which I'm doing now (again) and I've been on hold for like 10 mins. blah took me long enough the first time to get through, guess we'll see if I get a different answer!

    cstar, pm me your address and I will mail you the disk. Think of it as you won my pioneer firmware update karma - congratulations. If you can get it burned before you get the disk - fine. If not, then you will have it in a few days.

    My gf's computer has win 7 and it still wasn't working when I burned it from there. I did try the software I had to do the image burn but I'll have to go back and try it with the stuff you recommend to see if I get any better results.

    That's the only negative I can think about the pioneer bdp's. Love my PS3, easy wireless downloads.

    well after being on hold for 20 mins and then again for 20 I will be getting a disc from them. Just may take forever but I will be getting the disc. Thanks for the help and in the meantime I'm still going to try and see if I can get one to burn on my system.
    Thank you!
