Re: Help flashing new WH16NS40 why is 4K playback possible with mine?

Concerning your P.S.: You can try to use BH16NS60 1.00 DE firmware for Fab. Or flash a friendly firmware like ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.10 MK to it. Your drive should then work with both Makemkv and Fab. And other software. Holy shit dude, it worked! My new drive worked; I simply used my 64 bit system, with...

Re: Help flashing new WH16NS40 why is 4K playback possible with mine?

Thanks everybody for good intentions: the problem SOLVED! All I need to do was to connect that drive to workstations with Windows 10 by internal SATA connection without any adapters. I am sorry brother, I am not qualified to give you advise, remember I bricked a perfectly working drive by flashing ...

Re: Help flashing new WH16NS40 why is 4K playback possible with mine?

Hey, really quick question, call me stubborn, and dumb, but after many many many attempts over the weekend, it feels like this drive may be recoverable, but I don't remember exactly what I did, only that it did read Bluray disc again at one point, but no 4K, so I reflashed, and forgot how I got it t...

you never needed to do this if your drive was built in 2016
you drive is just dead or deflective then

:( I was afraid so, thank you for the help, I hope this thread is a cautionary tale for those who may brick a perfectly working drive in the future.

Re: Help flashing new WH16NS40 why is 4K playback possible with mine?

Hello, I revived my old PC, and set it on IDE, then proceeded to install a 32 bit copy of Windows on it, but the dosflash tool can't find my drive. I also tried the WinPE version of Windows provided here, but it can't find the drive either. I tried the drive on, and off, rebooted, and tried on all S...
