Lol, yeah, I noticed that after I sent my post. I'm confident I can flash it myself, just not 100% sure what firmware to use. Found a Reddit post where someone listed the FW they used (also had the same drive, just different FW), just wanted to get some input from someone knowledgeable here first.

EDIT: Got it flashed successfully 👍🏼

New to this.

I am still confused on whether or not patching this is possible.

If I do patch it, do i use the ASUS or the Pioneer?

yeah email me its a pioneer
you have to remember asus does not make optical drives they rebrand them from lg or pioneer
pioneers are the better ones
