When stuff like that happens it's best to clean the disc.
What's the best way to clean a disc? I was just wiping it with a microfiber cloth.

Re: LG WH14NS40 flashed to WH16NS60 1.02MK - Only reads BD but not DVD

UPDATE: Replacement drive received. It is able to read DVD as well as BD (and 4K BD once flashed to 1.02MK). I did encounter another weird issue: neither drives could read the Pearl Harbor Blu-Ray disc that I have. Couldn't read it in my Xbox One S and PS3 either. The disc surface looks pristine. I ...

Re: LG WH14NS40 flashed to WH16NS60 1.02MK - Only reads BD but not DVD

Got it, thanks! The BU40N looks like a slim drive. Those always feel fragile to me, like I might accidentally break the door if I'm not careful. Any recommendations for a standard 5.25" drive? nope all the 5.25 that are UHD friendly are basically the same for now and just rebrands or an aacs 2...

Sure, will try that. Do you have a brand/model that you do recommend?

Re: LG WH14NS40 flashed to WH16NS60 1.02MK - Only reads BD but not DVD

LG WH14NS40 flashed to WH16NS60 1.02MK - Only reads BD but not DVD

I just bought a new LG WH14NS40 and flashed it to WH16NS60 1.02MK and enabled unlimited read speed via the Windows registry edit. Blu-ray rips work great with read speeds up to over 50 MB/s. However, the drive will not recognize any of the DVDs I've tried. Not just MakeMKV, the OS (Windows 10) doesn...

Re: LG WH14NS40 firmware version with fastest read speed?

but I’m only seeing low 30s MB/s on 1.02 MK. Just wondering if I’m doing something wrong You did enable speed control in MakeMKV settings, right? Thanks for the tip! I overlooked it because the setting was not in the GUI. I found the instructions thread though and enabled unlimited speed (0=99). I ...

See title. Is it 1.00? 1.02? Does it even matter?
Any Ns60 firmware as the guide says
Thanks! I saw in the WH14NS40 1.00 thread that the OP was getting 50 MB/s, but I’m only seeing low 30s MB/s on 1.02 MK. Just wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if 1.00 would be faster?

Re: LG WH14NS40 1.04 >>> ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 >>> LG WH16NS60 1.00

Hi all, I'm new here :) Just got my LG WH14NS40 1.04 and looking for instructions on firmware flashing for MakeMKV. I've read through this thread and the other pinned threads. It's still not clear to me why someone would want to go with 1.00 if 1.02 MK performs just as well and doesn't require the i...
