Hi everyone,
I recently bought this drive from Lenovo:
Lenovo Part Lookup
According to the sticker, it is an HL-DT-ST BD-RE BH40N.
When I opened MakeMKV, it identified the chipset as MT1939.
Curious, I opened up the drive and found that it actually has a MT1959UWDN chipset.
So, I attempted to flash it with the WH16NS60 firmware. The flashing process completed successfully, but now the drive no longer reads Blu-rays.
I found someone in this thread who had the exact same issue:
Forum Thread, but I have firmware GA05 instead.
I also tried flashing the same firmware mentioned in that thread, but nothing changed – the drive still doesn’t work.
Does anyone have the original firmware for GA05? I have searched everywhere but couldn’t find anything.
I have attached some images that might help:
Normally, I can fix these things myself, but I’m really stuck this time. Thanks in advance for any help!
