Re: I'm nervous about buying a late 2015 LG drive - Need help deciding if I should get it

I've just received both drives, both are SVC NS40, both ROM VER. 1.00. I'll plug one of the drives in today and see how it does. Don't you will kill them MADE A MISTAKE!! Bad typo as they both are NS50... Currently don't have any 4K discs laying around, but out of the box MakeMKV says LibreDrive en...

Re: Locked [latest firmware] Pioneer drives!!

Hello there, will the current Pioneer drives that have the latest firmware, later than 2023 be ever compatible with LibreDrive?? Will future versions of MKV eventually catch up with these current "locked" drives to finally enable them to rip UHD discs??? If I have a non compatible, non-fl...

Re: LG wp50nb40 Drive Usage

Just bought the lg wp50nb40. I want to use it with makemkv. I have tried to use the Downgrade Enabled Firmware v.2, with the "All you need firmware pack". And the program just hangs. The firmware already on the drive is 1.03. I have tried running the program in admin, compatibility mode, ...

Re: I'm nervous about buying a late 2015 LG drive - Need help deciding if I should get it

I have an offer to buy a LG WH14NS40 that was manufactured in November 2015. The label on it says ROM version 1.00, and I also have the S/N for it. Is it possible to know if it supports 4K without physically having it? It's on offer for 40$. Thanks! You need to ensure the WH14NS40 has SVC NS50. Bef...

Re: Just got my first drive, is flashable?

Hi, I know is a bit stupid ask this while we have other posts saying, but since one wrong step may brick the device I wanna confirm if this drive is flashable and what firmware is the correct one. This is a new drive that I just got today, I hope it's the correct device. Flash it with BP60NB10 NB12...

Re: Recommendation for best (most reliable and versatile) LibreDrive for 2024?

I already have an old BU40N ("techPulse120" branded) so I would have returned an LG drive, but buying from an eBay outlet seems to have done the trick :D Well, my techPulse120 branded BU40N died on me yesterday (at least the enclosure, I don't have the smaller size SATA power plug require...

Re: BD-RW BDR-XD05 - Read errors.

I have been using a BD-RW BDR-XD05 drive for 10 years with very few issues reading disks. I recently tried to rip Star Trek 4 - The Voyage Home remastered, and the drive will stop reading at about 10% of the progress. Any thoughts as to what the root cause might be? I pasted the drive data below. T...

Re: Least ‘Bad’ Hitachi-LG Drive for UHD?

You're welcome. Good luck for your search. Ah, I've forgot another slim drive with the BU40N in it. You can also look out for the Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2V(B). But have a good look before buying. I'd only two of them, both with the BU40N. I've not enough expierience with it to say, every of them has the ...

Re: Verbatim 43888 & 43890

I just wanted to note that there does not appear to be anymore Verbatims in stores or on Amazon that contain Pioneer drives inside. Both the 43888 and the 43890 now come with LG BU40N drives inside. These have v1.05 firmware and can be flashed/downgraded to enable LibreDrive and UHD readability. Sa...
