Asus BW-16D1X-U

[MartyMcNuts]

Thank you for the PM. When I start BDRFlash it says “No available devices found.” MakeMKV still sees it. There is no disc inside and it is closed. This is on Windows 11.

Without a disc, MakeMKV reports this:

Hi all

Thanks in advance for your help. Very new to all of this. I have been reading through the forums and there are many variations of similar drives and wanted to get a sense of whether this one if UHD capable.

What one? You need to copy and paste the drive info and libredrive info sections.

Make sure you check the force flash box.

Thanks but the check box is not enabled.

Thanks but the check box is not enabled.

The program can't find your drive - which is weird. Have you tried different USB ports and power is on?

[Tri0ptic]

Thanks for the reply. Yes, it was on, etc. I tried different cables and I have tried 3 PCs. Finally my girlfriend’s ARM-based laptop worked and I was able to flash it. Just to be sure here is the new info from MakeMKV (running on the PC that BDRFlash does NOT work on) and a screenshot from BDRFlash after flashing (running on the ARM laptop). If you would not mind just verifying all is well… Thanks!

Thank you so much, sorry but I made a mistake my drive is BW-16D1H-U not 1X.
Do I need to use Asus BW-16D1HT 3.10MK firmware file with BDRFlash to flash the drive?

Go ahead with the download and you will be fine. This is a Pioneer not a LG.

Hey all. Long time lurker here.
I picked up this drive yesterday after my LG started to fail. It seems the working instructions are being pm'd out? Would someone mind fwding them to me?

Thanks

[Woodstock]

At a guess, I'd say the reason things are being sent via private messages has to do with the fact that "the fix" varies with the drive... and sending the WRONG "fix" to someone could brick their drive.
