LG WH14NS40 w/ 1.02MK can't see UHD, still plays BD and DVD fine
Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2021 9:12 am
Did quite a bit of searching and didn't see an issue quite like mine.
UHD discs do not show up. Disc spins for a while and then no disc is seen in the drive. The thing with me, though, is that the drive works perfectly fine otherwise. Can play blurays and dvds all day.
I have an LG WH14NS40 manufactured in Feb. 2016 w/ SVN code:NS50 printed on the drive itself.
MKV showed the drive platform as MT1959. So, all the pre-requisites seem to be in order.
The guide says, "WH14NS40 on any Firmware directly to > WH16NS60 1.02MK"
I was on 1.05 and used version 1.3.0 of the GUI SDF tool to flash HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin that is found in the "The all you need firmware pack.zip" provided in the same guide. I found confirmation on a different thread that that .bin file is indeed 1.02MK.
Flashing was successful without errors. Makemkv shows this: I shut down the computer and unplugged for a minute but that didn't change anything.
Any insight?
