HI:

I would like to confirm one thing, to avoid future problems.
I have a BD-RE BH16NS40, Revision 1.01, Year March 2014, and the makemkv says:
Drive platform: MT1939
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)

I bought a UHD disk and I try to see if the BR detect it but nothing. Looks empty after some spin.

Regarding what I read here for this device is not a good idea to put a new firmware, right? If so I can brick it.

With my best regards

You are correct. Go no further. Drive HW is too old for UHD & as capable as it's gonna get.

Hi.

Many thanks for your reply.

Thank you for doing some up front research. Too many just jump in without understanding what they are doing, don't ask & end up w/ a brick. Potential disaster averted.
