Re: LG Optical Drive Firmware "Reset" method

Also, I always unplug the USB from the back of the Vantec. Have not tried with it all hooked up still.

Re: LG Optical Drive Firmware "Reset" method

It is tricky. I just did mine again. When it starts up, the blue LED blinks 5 times about a half second apart. If I hold the ejectbbutton starting when the LED blinks the second time, then 5 seconds later release it, the tray will open halfway and close back.

Re: LG Optical Drive Firmware "Reset" method

You need to power it off and back on. When you power it on, wait about 2 seconds and hold the eject button. The tray should open halfway and close again.

Re: LG Optical Drive Firmware "Reset" method

So, I have finally determined what causes the drive to stop functioning (completely) when trying to backup discs. 1. It must be a UHD disc the drive is trying to read. 2. The disc must have blemishes (be dirty) or obviously scratched After the drive tries to copy from it and fails, the drive will no...

I bought a LG WH16NS40 a while back and thanks to these firmware flashing guide here was able to have it read UHD discs (now it shows as a WH16NS60).

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2023

I just want to say thanks! My previous BR (slim Pioneer) drive died and I bought a 5.25 LG WH16NS40 (which now shows as a WH16NS60), but it all works. Thanks for all the useful guides!

Same java crashes and difference between Linux and Windows versions

Hi, I have been experiencing the java crashes like everyone else in other threads - v1.12.3 seems to crash more frequently than 1.12.2 was though. I just upgraded to java 10 (oracle version) and the crashes have stopped, but before I upgraded, I fired up a windows virtual machine and java 8 does not...

MakeMKV v1.10.7 linux(x64-release) crash with openJDK 1.8

This is the first time MakeMKV has ever crashed on me. This particular video (Red ver of Wish Upon) crashes every time it loads openjdk -- 1.8.0.144-5. There are no deubg symbols, so gdb turns up nothing - nothing in the logs except loading java from... I removed the java pref and restarted it, and ...

Re: Fantastic Fohis is the ur 2 - Rise of the Silver Surfer

It's rare but I too have had this happen, with another title. It could be that the batch Netflix has were manufactured in the same lot/at the same time with the same defect. You may want to source the disc from another provider, see if that helps. Thanks for the info - just wanted to make sure I wa...
