Hi Everyone,

I purchased an Archgon drive on Amazon, and I've been trying to flash it with the firmware but when I click "start" nothing happens. See specs below...

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BU40N
Revision: 1.02
Serial number: MO6P55G3234
Firmware date: 2120-12-01 17:16
Bus encryption flags: 1F

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible (with patched firmware)
Drive platform: MT1959
Harware support: Yes
Firmware support: No
Firmware type: Original (patched version available)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw data read: Possible (with patched firmware)
BD raw metadata read: Possible (with patched firmware)
Unrestricted read speed: Possible (with patched firmware)

I'm running Windows 11 on a 1440p monitor. I've tried running the program as an administrator, I've tried power cycling the drive, and I've tried multiple downloads of the files but to no success.

I'm trying to use the following firmware: DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK

The Archgon enclosures don't allow flashing commands or libredrive.

You have 2 options:

1. Return it.
2. Remove the drive from the enclosure permanently. Flash it and use it outside the enclosure or get another, different enclosure.

I did the same thing and would like to go with #2. I assume there are screws under the rubber feet. Does anyone have a recommendation for a different enclosure to get? Preferably one with USB-C.
