Show us a picture of Marty's flasher to see what's in the 2 boxes before you hit START.

use the emergency eject hole if a disc is in it
you use a paperclip for that or something similar

Let me reach out to you through there

Your second, lower box is wrong. You NEED to choose a full size drive firmware like LG WH16NS60 1.02 firmware. Putting BU40 firmware in the second box won't help. Besides that the flasher seems to think that a disc is in your drive. So fix your first issue and try again.

And you need to check RECOVER not WRITE.

I have tried that option as well

I appreciate everyone here but I think the drive is done for and I will purchase an ASUS and do it right

What application do you guys use to watch the movies that are ripped
