Hi all,

After doing some investigation on Reddit in regards to flashing a 4K firmware onto my ASUS BW-16D1-XU drive, a user said I could use a firmware for what seems to be an LG drive (DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK) and it worked for that user. Trying to flash it onto my drive and it spits out an error, screenshots attached. I'm super new to this so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Take the disc out of the drive!
Thank you for that! I didn’t think there was a disk in there but the flash did work! I tried putting in Ballerina and it still didn’t recognize the media. I didn’t have the chance to try another disk before I had to head out so is it a chance the media is just too new or something?

Balleriina has been out for months so doubt it. Have you made sure MakeMKV has internet access? It is required so that MakeMKV's internal Hashed Keys database can be downloaed and updated as required.

You can also copy and paste the MakeMKV drive info & libredrive info sections so we can ensure the flash worked.

Copy and paste the log window text when you get an error or what not so that we can help further.
Cheers :D

I think I see my issue; LibreDrive status is marked "possible, not yet enabled", not "enabled".

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1X-U
Revision: A105
Serial number: KLGP37D4330
Firmware date: 2120-12-02 11:14
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 68

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

I flashed it with the previously mentioned firmware, at least I thought I did? Maybe it somehow got screwed up?

Please disregard my prior comment; I reflashed the firmware, and it now reads "enabled" under the status. Guess I screwed something up! As a sanity check, I threw in my 4K copy of Ballerina and it worked. Thank you guys for the excellent help and patience!
