Hello all,
New guy here trying to flash my drive, I tried unsuccessfully after following the guide for my slim LG, so I invested in an ASUS one, but cannot flash it due to it not being MT1959 Platform. I know one of the active users has been PMing people on how to get it done.
Any tips or guides I can follow for it?:

This one contains a Pioneer drive, not an LG-based drive. Billycar11 or CooperVid should be able to help you.
But there is a specific thread for the ASUS BW-16D1X-U ---->

You need to post your own Makemkv info.

Most likely the drive is running out of juice and disappears for a moment. Could be caused by a dirty disc or simply not getting enough constant power.
1. Try cleaning the disc.
2. Use USB-C port if possible. If not, use USB 3 ports direct from motherboard (not case ports) or use an AC self-powered USB hub of at least 30W.
