I hadn't seen this before. What is the benefit of flashing 43888 down to BU40N 1.00 for linux?

It makes it work

Externally mounted using a OWC Mercury Pro enclosure. Powered directly from the wall. The only weak link I can think of on the connection side is that I am using an OWC dock (since I don't have a USB-B to USB-C cable for my laptop). Connection flowchart (Power): 120v AC wall outlet -> Enclosure Con...

So this drive is just unable to rip 4K media? I followed the instructions on the guide and it reads regular blu rays just fine but not 4K media.

it can read 4K
email me or Marty for the auto flasher if you cant get it to work

Apologies for the long delay; life got in the way of pulling the drives apart to clean them. I was able to disassemble both and clean the lenses using 91% isopropyl alcohol and qtips following your instructions for application and drying. Both drives are still getting stuck in the DEBUG and Error '...

Any pre-flashed drives compatible with MakeMKV and Plex server available to purchase from you? I'm ready now!

Not yet
Email me for the links and follow so you can buy right away though when they become available

Looking for some advice here. I've gone through two Archgon MD-8107-u3 drives over the last 4 years or so. First one lasted me maybe a year and half, second one lasted 2.5. Eventually it fails reading any discs. Meanwhile, I happen to be in a goodwill and found an LG BP60NB10 (April 2021) date on t...

Well, it didn't brick the drive, but it didn't fix it either. I still can't use it to read DVDs on my Fedora Linux machine. :( Still works fine on my MacBook Pro, either in MacOS or in Parallels Desktop running Windows 11. Works fine on my Fedora machine if I put in a BluRay disc. Just not with a D...

How do you backup your original firmware before flashing? I would like to be able to revert if it doesn't go right. Using linux. Have both makemkv 1.17.7 and 1.18.3. Running makemkvcon f --version for either reports LibDriveIo/SdfTool version: 2.6 Edit: Just bought the BP50NB40 NB52 . I'm probably ...

Update: Alright guys, I gave up for now because I saw this BC-12D2HT model for sale on newegg for $50 ($55+tax)!! If it cost OneDay $15 to ship an old, non-UHD drive to me, I might as well add $35 on top to get a new 2022 model that may also potentially be UHD-friendly! So here are the specs: Make:...

So, I got lucky and found local seller for Pioneer drive who sold it to me at price that is embarassingly low for the market prices these days. I'm happy with the drive, but the seller sold it to me as "BDR-212EBK", however it shows up "BDR-212M" on MakeMKV. Drive platform is RS...
