I joined the forum a couple of days ago as this is an entirely new world to me. I came across this thread after flashing my LG Slim Drive (BP50NB40, SVC: NB40) from 2014 and realized that it wanted a new retirement life as a paperweight. Unfortunately, I missed the part about the drive being too old. :D

While shopping at my local Best Buy for a replacement, I searched online to make sure that the LG replacement (BP50NB40, SVC: NB52) was compatible. No more paperweights! I was pleasantly surprised to find this thread and that Alex provided his number for customer service. What a God send!

However, I didn't realize he was selling drives, but asked if he could flash the drive that I was purchasing. He said he could, if I ship the drive out to him. I asked if he did remote flashing and he emphatically discouraged me from ever allowing anyone to do that. Instead, he offered to guide me through the entire process. He was incredibly pleasant, patient, helpful and honest throughout our entire text and email correspondences. He never once mentioned payment and cost for his assistance. He emailed me a zipped folder with all of the required files and guided me step-by-step. After bricking one drive, this was certainly reassuring to have an expert's live support. Once all was said and done, I was relieved and excited to venture into this new world of preserving my collection. Grateful for his assistance and having met a genuinely pleasant person wanting to help, I asked Alex how I could repay him for his generous support. It was only then that he mentioned how I could help by way of a donation and a review. I was happy to do both!

So now here I am, writing this testimonial. It's so refreshing to meet folks who are genuinely pleasant and willing to offer a helping hand. I can highly recommend Alex's services! Thank you again!

I purchased a second ASUS BW-16D1HT as a backup, and as usual the transaction was excellent.
Thank you Alex!

Yo man,

It’s been a minute. You happen to know this guy Klaus from Germany? The dude that hooks people up with the hacked Pioneer flasher?

Saw something on Reddit sayin' he's out in Rheinau, Germany, and that he shut down Redfox and bounced. All I’m after is that hacked Pioneer flasher, though.

Catch you later... Jay..

I got an email this morning and it looks like Alex is getting out of the business. Sad to see him go but I've been very happy with my drive, and it seems thousands of you all have been as well. I'm picking up a spare while he's still got drives in stock, so get them while you can!

Email follows:
Long time no speak. I hope all is well.
Hey so I'm shutting down my business and have some drives left to sell. Would you be interested in picking up another to replace your primary or use as a backup for when the primary wears out? Now is a good time to get one :-)
Anyways, that's enough from me. Let me know if you're interested and thank you for your support in the past!
Alex

Ordered a Asus drive to be shipped to the UK. Alex was great to work with sorted out a great deal including shipping the case and USB-C cable and arrived very quick. A pleasure doing buisness with would reccomend if you are looking for one of these drives without the pain of learning how flash a drive and worrying about doing it wrong or bricking your device. 5 star service.
