Hello,
I bought an external ASUS BW-12D1S-U drive some time ago and from I have read on this forum it might be possible to enable UHD ripping on it. Can you please sent me instructions and software to do that.
According to MakeMKV, my drive is running on the Pioneer RS8600 platform with unpatched ...

Hi,

I bought an internal laptop drive from AliExpress (Pioneer BDR-UD03FAL) and want to check if it is flashable for UHD and LibreDrive. If so, please let me know. Thanks in advance!


Drive Information:

Bought an LG 183663 (BU40N) slimline SATA Blu-ray drive and a generic USB 3 to slimline SATA cable. Seems to work fine ripping regular Blu-rays plugged into a USB 3.2 gen 2 port with 1.5 amps.

I have a few 4K UHD Blu-rays and am considering flashing the drive. The USB cable has the drive showing ...

Hello I just bought an ASUS BW16D1X-U and it will not read 4K Blu Ray disks, the drive platform is RS8601. I have read several posts on this form and from what I have read it is possible to flash the drive but it requires a special flasher. Any assistance would be very welcome.

I have opened the drive and cleaned the lens as suggested. Sadly, it has not changed the behavior. I reached out to OWC, and they've offered to service or replace it. Never thought I'd ask this question, but should I reflash it to stock firmware before doing so?


Won't hurt just use the official ...

Sounds like a power issue
Connect the drive to higher power USB ports
Or get a powered USB hub or asmcoms powered cable solution

Aslos never open makemkv first always let your os see the disc then open makemkv on your fist disc
After that you don't need to relaunch makemkv for every additional disc

Do you think I’m lying to you or spreading fake news and propaganda here?
What reason would I have for that?
Besides, spreading nonsense wouldn't have helped the situation; *I* was the one who needed help—it wasn't a case of someone writing nonsense to someone else who needed help.

I flashed ...

A quick question, @Billycar11:
Why shouldn't one flash the LG BU40N directly with firmware 1.00?
I did exactly that, and it worked fine—though flashing back to 1.05 for the sake of an exchange didn't work out; still, I was glad the exchange went through.

For some reason, I always get a headache ...

Good evening ,

I stumbled upon this post as I am finding via research that this drive can read 4K UHD discs, but placing one inside the device results in No disc.
