LG BP50NB40 Flashed but UHD discs not read
Posted: Wed Feb 22, 2023 9:57 pm
Hello
I have just acquired the LG BP50NB40 (NB50 version). Flashed it to 1.03 and noticed it would not read UHD disks.
Found a post mentioning a need to then reflash and then changed the FW to the BP60NB10 but I am still getting no read, well slightly different, MKV just stops and says no disk inserted after about 2 mins of it trying to read the disc.
The FW version in the download zip is 1.02 but in the guide it mentions 1.00.... could that be the issue? and if so is v1.00 available to flash to my drive please?
or is there something else I need to do?
Blurays work fine in the drive, just in case you needed to know.
thanks in advance and if you need more information from me please ask.
