You can go for it.

Great, thanks. I'll give it a go. At least I am reasonably familiar with the flashing process at this point!

Post the link. https://a.co/d/3B4oVNH There seem relatively limited options for recommended plug'n'play external drives. (I'd prefer to not mess about with putting an internal drive in an external enclosure, if possible!) I suppose I can try to find one of the other LG options on eBay, if not Amazon.

Most likely dead. So I have feared. :roll: Well, Amazon US lists a "Produplicator LG BP60NB10", which I am guessing is (or is the equivalent of, or contains) the "BP60NB10 NB10/12" listed in the "Recommended UHD Drives to get" section of the "Ultimate UHD Drives F...

Hi! A few months ago, I successfully flashed my ASUS BW-16D1X-U using HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin from "The all you need firmware pack". All was well. I could read all kinds of discs -- until today, when the drive suddenly stopped reading any kind of disc. This is...

You didn't provide the command line used but I assume you are missing 'enc' Ah, you assume correctly. :oops: I hadn't realized that my firmware was on the encrypted list, though I really should have guessed that when it didn't seem to work!

Here's the result of the command-line flashing process: Rea...

Is "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin" indeed appropriate for my drive? [...] [T]he "ultimate guide" instructions state " the latest working version is 1.17.7 of makemkv for flashing do not use an newer version for flashing until further notice on linux ...

Also, I notice that the "ultimate guide" instructions state " the latest working version is 1.17.7 of makemkv for flashing do not use an newer version for flashing until further notice on linux ". I'm not on Linux; I'm on a Mac; but should I try to first downgrade to makemkv 1.1...

Sounds good. However, I notice that the "all you need" firmware pack I downloaded (from the "ultimate guide" page) doesn't have something obviously corresponding precisely to "LG WH16NS60 1.02MK", though it does have the sort-of-similar file " HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS...
