Buffalo BRXL-PTV6U3 unlock capability to play UHD BD?

Post by JingAr87 » Sun May 01, 2022 2:23 pm

Hi everyone, this might be the wrong kind of place to ask this but, I've recently got a Buffalo BRXL-PTV6U3-WHA external drive(No UHD BD support) and I initially didn't plan to play(and rip) UHD BDs but I've been given a few to test.
I initially knew it wasn't going to play as it is not supported, but looking online and in this forum, I believe that my drive has the LG-BU40N drive inside it. I looked at photos of a few drive's tray and found it matched the disc tray on the Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB and BRUHD-PU3 which has the BU40N drive.
This got me thinking, is there any way to unlock its capability to play UHD BDs if it is indeed using BU40N?
