LG WH16NS60 SVC CODE: NS40
Posted: Wed Jan 14, 2026 8:35 pm
NOTE: I moved this from LibreDrive drives, don't think that was the right area.
Like the title says, I just received 2x LG WH16NS60 with SVC CODE: NS40, each has a new sticker on it from 2024-04-26, Manufactured: February 2024. I bought them on eBay from a seller in China, did I just get bamboozled?
I flashed both with "DE_LG_WH16NS60_1.02_MK.bin" found in the All You Need Firmware Pack (MartyMcNuts) pack. Used SDFtool Flasher 1.3.6 to flash both drives. Should I have used SDFtool Flasher 1.3.5? Did I use the wrong firmware? Is this possibly a crossflashed WH14NS40 with a new sticker? Would that matter? Are they just defective drives?
- 1 drive will read UHD discs (sometimes), but every 4K disc I rip, ends with a "failed hash check".
- The other drive won't read UHD discs at all, just crunches away from a couple of minutes, then, nothing.
Please help, I've already told them about the drive that won't read anything, but I need to know if it's worth it for them to send me another drive, or ask to send them back & get my money back. (Which is a gamble, since they said they don't accept returns)
