Asus BW-16D1HT stopped working

Post by jmajma »

I had a drive burn out, so ebay'ed a replacement internal BW-16D1HT very recently. I am positive I confirmed it would read UHD.

I did an install of a new M2 boot drive and fresh windows install. On first boot my computer went into a loop beeping and my drive clicking. With a fresh power cycle, everything seemed OK but now I can't read UHD discs.

MakeMKV reports:
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1HT
Revision: 3.02
Serial number: K9II1DK3417
Firmware date: 2117-11-15 17:16
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 23

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

Should I flash to 3.10 firmware? Is there an alternate path to enable Libredrive?
