I don't think the TD04 can be flashed at all.

Apologies / I used your purchased/supplied flasher to update these drives. Can you point me to where I can download the stock wh16ns40 1.05 firmware? Pulling my hair out looking for it across the forum

Thanks so much for these, Marty!! It's really appreciated!! :D

Will the BP50NB40 1.03 firmware work for a BP55EB40 SVC: EB52 as well?


These original flashers only work for that particular model, so no.


Thanks, Marty!! If you ever happen to come into possession of the original BP55 ...

Won't hurt just use the official LG updater after flashing back to whatever your stock fw drive was probably a wh16ns40

New enough ones. Older ones could be Pioneer Inside™.

They switched to BU40N's almost 2 years ago. It's almost a certainty that all of the Pioneer one's are gone.

I'm really frustrated with my Blu-ray rip success rate. About 50% of my rip attempts fail mid-process, and I can't figure out why. When a rip completes successfully, Plex plays the file perfectly with no issues. But roughly half the time, the rip process just fails partway through and I get no ...

I'm new to this world but I'd love to find a drive to back up my 4k movie disc collection, burn M Discs to back up family photos and videos along with important documents, and burn high end CD-Rs for use in retro game consoles like Sega CD/Playstation/Saturn/Dreamcast. From my searching it appears ...

Yea that’s all findvuk under the covers. Disc info is mine. They really don’t interact at all.


So, in your Disc Info comment, can you add the steps so people know what to do?

1. Backup to folder (leave decrypt unchecked)
2. Delete the AACS directory
3. Open index.bdmv in MakeMKV
4. Create MKV ...

Hey guys,

I was pretty overwhelmed by all the information that I found here and wanted to share my findings and my way from a stock Verbatim 43888 drive to an unlocked one.

Bought a Verbatim 43888 (LG BU40N inside!) from MartyMcNuts this week.
Great communication, fast postage (I got Express) and I couldn't be happier.
I opened it up today, plugged it in and ripped my new 4k copy of Escape From New York with MakeMKV.
Worked flawlessly.
If you are from Australia and ...

I purchased a Pioneer BDR-S11JX and had it installed. It works fine. I can't find a version of the pioneer bd drive utility that will work with this drive. I had the utility installed for the BDR-212UBK but the utility says NNo drive connected. I would like to be able to make settings chanes for ...
