Hi all experts,
Newbie to remuxing here.
Apologies in advance for posting this here, in case there is another related thread.
I received this drive and I didn't notice that the internal drive is WP50NB40 ( don't know where to look for the SVC code). I is an internal drive, but WP seems to be a slim version of the drive, so I am confused what LG sold to me. The tags all over the drives clearly says WH14NS40, but device manager says WP50NB40.
Anyhow, I flashed it with the internal drive firmware DE_LG_WH14NS40-NS50_1.02.bin and ticked both "encryption and include bootloader" when writing in the SDF flash tool.
Now the eject button is not working at all.
I tried to do recover and rewrite with DE_LG_WP50NB40-NB50_1.03_MK, but I am getting the "Command produced error code 0xff05c103".
Is the driver bricked and not recoverable?

These are the details:

i can recover it for you but it may be dead already
drives done live long when they are flashed to slim or 5.25 when thats not what they are unplug it until you a recovering it
did one like this just a few weeks ago but laser was dead by time i got to it

Ah! I would probably get another one then. But which one should I flash on a drive which says internal WH outside, but has a slim WP inside?

post your drive info when you get another one or just buy a better preflashed pioneer from one of us me marty and asmcom all have pioneers with the correct fw and they are much better then the lg/asus drives

I got the new drive. This one is correct with WH14NS40, SVC NS50. But with 1.05 firmware.
What should I flash it with?

nvm. I saw one thread where the suggestion was to use the 1.02 firmware for WH16NS60.
I flashed that one and I am able to rip my first Blu-ray: Interstellar.
Hope it doesn’t give any errors or crash in the middle.
