That's great!

Totally. Thought you could make a note of it in case it comes up again.

We don't know as that firmware has never been seen before. Try it and see what happens.

Through recommendations from Billy, ran the Asus Flasher and it worked.
No problems yet.

"enc?" should not be checked, correct?

The Custom Firmware seemed to fail, email response sent.

Checking "enc?" made no difference. START button still did nothing.

You could try the old SDFtool Flasher (version 1.2.0) as that doesn't check the drive platform.

The old Flasher READ Firmware worked, where it didn't with the newer. WRITE Firmware still did nothing.

well in this case you cant use the sdf tool for now marty will probably fix it soon.
but you can use the cmd to do it or email me for an automated flasher

Just sent you an email.

It seems that MakeMKV is not recognising your drive's platform as MT1959, cause that should have a green tick next to it. If the drive platform is marked with a red X, then the start button is disabled so that you can't accidently flash a non-compatible drive. I still think that the current firmwar...

Thank you. Was adding to my post before I saw this response.
Will run with it.

Use GUI SDF Tool - https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=22896 Okay... I think this makes sense to me. I just need the right firmware bin file? And I run WRITE with that, and that's all I need to do? EDIT: So I got the "The all you need firmware pack". I'm guessing the ...

Yep, first post in this thread.

Thanks. At first look, I don't quite get it, so may have to pay the guys for the kit.
I'll have another look later though.

yeah that's the wrong firmware that's why it can be flashed if you follow the guide

I'll check it out and see how complicated it seems.
Sorry for being clueless, but where is the guide to flashing it? Is it just the first post in this thread?
