I have seen a couple threads where people got this drive able to rip 4k discs. I'm super confused by this process. I downloaded the bh14ns40 patch tool exe from this thread
viewtopic.php?t=19780
and used the included firmware bin file. It gave me the error at the end. Makemkv reports same data as before. pic below

I ran the SDtoolflasher (v1.3.5) but the only firmware in the "all you need fw pack" only had the WH16NS60 fw in it. Pic below. Should I use this?

Or should I use the cmd prompt instead as the YT video demos?

Thanks!

could die but not likely as its mt1959

Ok, seems to have worked (i think), pic below. 1st disk ripped successfully, while the 2nd/3rd have reported read errors. They seem to be hardware related. Does it seem that way to you? I've been using the backup option.

Yeah you can try cleaning the discs other than that cleaning or replacing the drive

But I will add that drive to the guide

thanks. Any resources on the best way to clean the drive?

yeah take it apart
only 4 screws hold it together and the front bezel unclips
then clean laser with alcohol and dry it

@Billy fyi the drive/firmware does NOT work with DVDFab 12.1.0.1. It is giving errors about "unfriendly firmware".

Thanks! No I'm happy with mkv just sending that info for your documentation.
