Re: SDFtool Flasher

It's an option, no need. Better have and do not need than need and do not have. :wink:

The WH16NS60 1.02MK is the recommended firmware for your drive. But theoretically, there could be a better firmware in the future.

Re: Top loading vs slot loading?

Top Loading is imo more prone to defects.
The hilt with the connected technique is the weak point.

Re: Need help with firmare updates on two UHD capable drives

Just have a good look there -----> https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634 There you can find very good information, the SDF Flasher and firmware packs. The BH16NS55 just flash directly to WH16NS60 1.02MK. The BP50NB40 with NB52 needs a few more moves: " ..... NB52 to > B...

Re: disc drive flashed but make mkv says libre drive not enabled

Libre Drive isn't enabled. You're sure you've flashed this drive for using it with MakeMKV? Edit: Sorry, I've just seen your copied text from the cmd. Something went wrong with the flashing process. The Flashing Guide says: " .....BP50NB40 to > BP50NB40-NB50-1.03MK then to > BP60NB10 1.02MK or ...

Re: Asus BW-16D1HT MT939

Look there at the top of the first post under the fat red subheading --> viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634

The blocked process of the SDF flasher should have been good advice for you.....

It's bricked. Use the DOS flash way or buy a new one.

Re: BU40N poor performance

Even a good drive could become defective.

But first I would clean the lenses before throwing in the trash can.

Re: LG BH16NS40

You can also try to clean the laser lenses.
Do it with q-tip and alcohol (Isopropanol). Clean twice and dry immediately also with q-tip or a lint-free cloth.

Re: Operating hours / Burn counts of optical drive

I've no expierience in this case, but supposedly CrystalDiskInfo is able to get different datas from optical drives too. Google says: "Although mainly intended for hard drives, CrystalDiskInfo can also display information about optical drives, such as the number of read operations and other SMA...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025

Yes lenses are cleaned (with alcohol) several times.

OK, then I'll write it off as a curiosity. :mrgreen: Happy with a working drive.

Thank you.

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025

Yes, it's a combo, like the ASUS BC-12D2HT / BC-12B1ST also. But this combo is the first which has problems with the WH16NS60 1.02MK, I had four or fives of CH12NS40 in the past. An with the fw of the BC-12D2HT it has no problems with the same 3-layer discs. Could it be, that the blue laser is dying...

Re: Ultimate UHD Drives Flashing Guide Updated 2025

I've a curious handling with a CH12NS40. It had the original fw 1.00 installed which was 4k friendly and worked with MakeMKV. But that drive I normaly flash to WH16NS60 1.02MK. But with the WH16NS60 1.02MK no 4K disc will be recognized in Windows (before opening MakeMKV). Trying, trying, trying, sto...
