My drive is actually WP50NB40 but the instructions say for WP/BP. It shouldn't matter right?

You should be doing this:

WP/BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or 1.00MK

I had a SH216 set up thanks to this forum a few years ago. It died from too much ripping, ha. I bought a BDR-212V and just now got around to getting it set up. However, I've lost most of my knowledge over that time. I tried poking around on this forum but it seems like most problems are getting fix...

You asked for $80 for the flashers, but I've seen posts saying that the firmware is free and I don't need a script, I can do it myself. Thanks anyway. Firmware for many drives/models/firmware are freely available right here on the forums - do your own research as this may not apply to your models. ...

Pioneers depend on the firmware currently installed... What's your drive information? I got ya, I just saw one on eBay was going to buy, but didn't want to jump until I knew. I did pass on it because its location was China, and I don't know what Tarrifs etc would look like LOL!! Nevermind the tarif...

I suspect that you're correct. I have tried several clean UHD discs and they all behave the same way. 20 min in they start spinning intermittently as if they pausing or having trouble. The Verbatim 43888 drive does not have a separate power supply. It came with a USB C to USB A cable and a USB A to...

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I recently purchased a Verbatim 6888 optical drive and attempted to use the SDFtool Flasher to flash the firmware. The internal drive is the BU40N model. I have attempted to back up several of my UHD discs but they have all failed. Can anyone check my...

It's a Pioneer drive. Post the MakeMKV drive info and libredrive info sections. Can these things be shucked and installed directly into a PC? Pretty sure they can. It should be a standard SATA drive inside. Thanks Marty. Are they: UHD ready; need flashing; or enabled by the SDF.bin update ?

Hi All, I recently purchased an ASUS_BW-16D1H-U_E116_DIDL121264WL but when I try to flash it it just says it does not have the correct drive platform. Did I purchase the wrong device or can someone help me with this please? Any info or help is much appreciated, thanks a lot in advance! Kind regards...

Hi, very new to ripping - so please be kind and forgive my cluelessness ;-) Got this BD-Reader from Amazon. However it can't read / open any DVD/BD with makemkv. As soon as there's a disk inside and start makemkv, CPU goes through the roof and nothing else happens. I suspect i might need to flash i...

Please don't shoot me! I am rather computer illiterate! Apologies to anyone who has a migraine from the questions I am about to ask. New drive: Verbatim 43890 USB 3.2 Issue: not reading UHD 4K discs but can see the disc title on PC- Make MKV 'hash error' occurs Make MKV drive log: Drive Information...

PM sent. Hi all. First time poster, first time visitor, first time ripper! I have a similar spec unit to the one described in this thread (info below). I've done some reading on page 1 of this thread and don't see anything on my unit, but it looks like we can handle this in a PM. Here's my specs, T...

I snagged a Hitachi/LG BU40N off Amazon recently to replace my defunct BH16NS55 (RIP following 7 years of service). It came with firmware version 1.05 but a quick flash to 1.03MK and I'm off to the races.

I'm glad to be back to two drives again.

The good news is that we have nearly secured more Pioneer stock that was being retained by Pioneer, which they are going to release soon.

Which models?

You are welcome. Mike's software doesn't account for the user using his forehead hitting the keyboard and everything works like magic. It's really not that unusual to have one partition for Windows and another for actual program installations. I do exactly the same as the OP. SDF Flasher is hardcod...

I don't get it, though I have avoided casing up some cheap drives from the red flags of the listings (Chinese, too cheap, too many available, and sharing identical photo sets). AliExpress and eBay both are very strict, and side with the buyer pretty much every time, forcing either no physical retur...
