Do you have Nero installed? If you do, open it and click on Recorder
in the Toolbar. Then click on Choose Recorder... Make sure your
burner is highlighted. The info shown will include "Firmware
revision."

If you don't have Nero, get Everest Home Edition (used to be AIDA32)
if you don't already have it. You can download it free he

Once you get Everest installed, run the program. Open "Storage" in
the left column. Then click on ASPI. One of the items that shows up
in the main window should be your LG. Look in the "Rev" column to get
your firmware version.
