Re: LG WH16NS40 not responding to SDFTool_Flasher

Haha. You and me both. It really seems like these UDH capable readers have disappeared within the past 6-9 months. I guess it's time to get a refund for my scam drive from ebay and look at Best Buy. Are those slim drives pretty reliable? I assumed that the old internal ones would outlast time itsel...

Re: LG WH16NS40 not responding to SDFTool_Flasher

Oh. And I forgot in the previous post:

It's in a Vantec external enclosure so it's connecting to the computer over USB. This is the same setup I had used previously when I successfully flashed my last blu ray drive.
