Help. Can't copy anything protected anymore

[MrDutchie]

I bought 2 weeks ago a Acer 1208a CDRW, and it was working fine
I was able to make copies from my original game CD's
Now I updated to the latest firmware, because I was burning blanc
CD when I write in Mode2/2352 or Mode1/2352
that didn't fix the problem.
But now I can't make any backup CD with a protection anymore.
I tried the drive in 3 other machines and all the same problem.
This happened after I updated the firmware.
ALSO the firmware screwed my DVD player, because I can't play
anything on that anymore.
So I'm not really impressed with Acer at the moment.
How can I get back my original Firmware ( 9.AB ) since I don't
have that one. I tried 9.DB 9.EB 9.GB .
