Hi guys! I'd like to be able to rip my 4k DVD's to my laptop, but I've read all this and the SDFtool Flasher forum post and still can't make heads or tails of it :'( I have a Verbatim Ultra HD 4K External Slimline Blu-ray Writer and this is the information given on MakeMKV Drive Information OS devi...

Hi Everyone, I purchased an Archgon drive on Amazon, and I've been trying to flash it with the firmware but when I click "start" nothing happens. See specs below... Drive Information OS device name: D: Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BU40N Revision: 1.02 Serial number: MO6P55G3234 F...

Thanks for the response—I appreciate the straightforward guidance. I followed your steps exactly to rule out any initialization or software timing issues: 1. Fully powered down the system (tested both internal SATA and external enclosure) for ~15 minutes 2. Booted back up and inserted a disc before...

I purchased a 5.25 LG WH16NS40 and couldn't tell the manufacture date from the listing, although otherwise it seemed fine. I was just getting started down this rabbit hole so didn't consider everything. Well now that I have it, the sticker states it's from January 2026 (already suspicious), yet Mak...

Hi all, I wanted to follow up on my original post with an update and ask for further guidance. After following earlier advice, I was able to successfully recover the drive using the LG official flasher and restore it to a working state. It functioned normally for about a week and was able to read a...

Hi All, I am looking at various drives for UHD ripping and these CN based sellers offer great prices on ebay but I wonder what is the experience? Are they selling genuine drives etc.? Another one - since it is a slim internal SATA drive - would it work work with SATA to USB kit left over from HDD s...

I read the whole thread and still not sure. With current stock is there any difference between 43888 and 43889? Should I pick one over the other? I can get both at the same price from the same reputable seller. Thanks These days, both are usually a BU40N drive inside so the only difference is that ...

Hi! I need to ask, i see so many use sata->usb converters for flashing, are there issues flashing drives connecting the drive directly to the computer by sata?

No.

Hi. It's my first time flashing a drive and i have a few questions i have a HL-DT BD-RE BU40N 1.05 UHD drive in an Icybox enclosure, the drive platform says MT1959, SDFTool Flasher for my drive has encrypted firmware ticked aswell as MT1959 Platform. Am i still able to flash it to allow reading of ...

Hi. I bought a BD that contains AACS2.0/C v82 for the purpose of trying out if I can bypass the copy protection. That is my only UHD BD and to my surprise it came out with a "revoked certificate" error. I tried this with VLC with 1.03MK firmware for BU40N. The jewel case came with two BDs...

It's not decrypting yet. Thanks!! Did you email your dump file to svq@makemkv.com for processing? Not doing so isn't going to help... Did you create a post in the Public KeyDB Submissions thread with the required information so a key record could also be added to the KeyDB? The public KeyDB is ofte...

I have a WP50NB40 NB52. I successfully cross flashed it to BU40N 1.00. Used it to burn 4K for a few weeks, then the drive started having issues reading discs. I need to send this to LG for a warranty device swap, but I want to downgrade the firmware to anything that will show WP50NB40 in the Device...

So far it appears either my enclosure has failed or the disc drive has failed. This is super disappointing.

Thanks for the info on the Buffalo, I saw the related post on shucking it. Problem now is that it went out of stock at the decent price. Of course. So for the Asus BW-16D1X-U, is this drive shuckable and has a standard 5.25 drive inside with standard SATA connections? Thank you Yeah, I believe so.
