Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2025 7:14 am
i had to get a new disc drive because the old ones were starting to fail.
i use the lg b50nb40s.
so when i get a new drive, i flashed it using the code from my older post from several years ago
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32296&p=143132#p143132
so i flash it using this in terminal
/usr/bin/makemkvcon f -d 'dev_21:2' -f /tmp/lg/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /tmp/lg/LG\ slim\ BP50NB40-NB50/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-NM00800-212005070917.bin
and get this saying it sucessfully flashed
