What version is the firmware on the DVD unit? My understanding is that you can't overwrite the installed version with another copy of the same version number simply by putting the installation disc in the drive, I think also you cannot downgrade from a higher installed firmware to a lower installation firmware simply by putting the upgrade disc in the drive.
From what I recall when I upgraded mine several years ago, in you want to install a new copy of the firmware over the installed (i.e. v32 over v32) you've got to change a 'bit' in the installation firmware to indicate to the drive that it is a higher firmware version.
I do have my notes etc. somewhere from when I made a custom splash screen for mine, I could dig them out and have a look if you wanted, but from memory you need 'ultraiso' to extract the navboot file from the image, 'navtweak' to modify the navboot file and them 'imageburn' to write the modified firmware image to a CD-ROM
