I think I have a basic understanding now but since I am a complete noob at this I wanted to ask a few questions. I have an LG Slim Portable (external) blu-ray/dvd writer. Model number BP50NB40, svc code NB50. Made in April 2017. Firmware revision 1.01, drive platform MT1959.
1. Can I uses the Modified Asus flasher?
2. Will the "(hybrid = HBD) firmware for the BP50NB40. Firmware BP60NB10_1.00_MK_HBD" work for me or is it only for the desktop version?
3. If I understand correctly, before I use the hybrid firmware listed above, I need to first updated with the latest MK firmware pack that matches my model. Is that correct?
- Yes, use the modified ASUS flasher.
- Yes, the hybrid firmware only works for the BP50NB40.
- Yes. Flash drive to BP50NB40 1.01 MK firmware first. Then flash BP60NB10_1.00_MK_HBD. If you ever want/need to go back to BP50NB40 firmware, flash BP50NB40_1.01_MK_HBD, then flash BP50NB40 1.01 MK firmware.
