I need the driver for my PLDS DVD-RW DU-8A5LH drive. The PLDS (Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions) website seems dead/redirects now. The laptop OEM (HP/Dell) site only lists BIOS and chipset drivers, nothing for the optical drive. System: Windows 11 Pro 22H2 Laptop: [Your model]

Is there an official .inf driver anywhere, or is this drive 100% reliant on the generic Microsoft CD/DVD driver? The drive reads CDs but no longer burns DVDs – wondering if a driver/firmware update would help. The laptop OEM (HP/Dell) site only lists BIOS

Thanks for any help. Title: [FIX] PLDS DVD-RW DU-8A5LH driver issue – how I solved it
