UHD Drive - asking before I waste a bunch of time...

Post by likefromtheoffice »

I bought a UHD drive from amazon, this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D5CFY8RW?re ... asin_title

I'm hoping it's possible to flash it, and I'm hoping someone can tell me if it's not possible so I don't bang my head against the wall trying to do this solely for Bugonia 4K. Thank you for any and all guidance, you guys are geniuses.

Yeah, it's a LG BU40N. You can flash it directly to BU40N 1.00 firmware.
Cheers :D
