Read your PM.

Could you PM me as well I have the same issue (drive has been flashed)

Your drive NEEDS to be flashed. Read your PM.

[MattiKiwi]

But my drive has been successfully flashed, I can't read any DVD or Blu Ray, I tried tweaking the minimum lenght duration and it didn't help either...

[MattiKiwi]

So I reverted back to 1.02, is there no way to make the driver work ? I can't read any disc, it says no disc is inserted no matter what...

See that the drive is on sale on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-BDR-212V ... =8-13&th=1


Worth buying?

Thanks
