Hi all,

I just purchased HP HLDS BU40N slim drive and gathered info(below) from MakeMVK program. I downloaded SDF Flasher and "the all ... firmware pack". I found one firmware file matching BU40N, which is "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934.bin". <<< Don't know if this FW is MakeMKV compatible as I don't see MK in the firmware's name.

Does anyone know, if this firmware will flash over my drive's current BW42 firmware and if I need to check "encrypted firmware in the flashing tool?

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: hp HLDS
Product: BDRE BU40N
Revision: BW42
Serial number: -----------
Firmware date: 2117-11-29 16:55
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 16

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Hardware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 0.BW42P
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)

Since your current firmware is old and not encrypted, you can flash either BU40N 1.00 or BU40N 1.03-MK (which is the firmware you mentioned).

Appreciate it!
1) So, if I flash the firmware, my drive's name will change and will it be recognized as HLDS(not HP)?
2) If I stay with BW42 FW, are there any known issues with it?

Hi guys,

I hope this is the right place to post my question.

I am looking to buy this LG BH16NS55, in hope it supports ripping of uhd blu-rays. As I don't have it yet, i can't post any information makemkv would provide. The seller sent me a picture of the drives label, but i find the information found in this thread hard to understand. Can anyone help me make sense of it?

The label states:
MODEL: BH16NS55
[chinese characters] 2016 01 25
ROM VER:1.20
MANUFACTURED: JANUARY 2016 RoHS
SVC CODE:NS55

Does this drive need to be flashed, and if so, which version would be the correct one?

Thanks

Hello everyone. I did everything & my drive has been patched properly. But it's not detecting any disc- be it cd or dvd or blu ray.
Can anyone help me about what to do?

What's the build date on your drive 2016+ as the guide says?

1-It's made in 2017.
2-My drive used to work just fine before firmware update. Then I installed this firmware for getting the Libre drive functions. But now it's not reading any disc. Have tried changing firmware version to wh16s60mk 1.03 also but it's still not working.
I tried attaching a picture of my makemkv description but that 1.5mb is ablve allotted quota. Will try to copy & paste it manually.
