Thank You very much for that. I'll flash it in the morning. Do you or anyone else know if its best to connect the power brick for wall power and both usb plugs simultaneously, for flashing the firmware? I have the two usb plugs connected to two red usb 3.1 gen 2 ports on the back of my pc currently and it's ripping normal blu rays without issue. Thanks again for the help and this website
