It is now LG WH16NS60 1.00 firmware only because I thought the grinding was related to the 1.02MK firmware. Anyway, just want to know if this is possible without messing up my drive. If it will work, is there a download of the 1.03 firmware I can use to do this? If I could please just get a yes or no answer, this will work or not, and not ask why I am wanting to do this.

Thanks.
