Need assistance Asus BW-16D1HT

[Fu2chN]

Hi, I recently bought a BD player thinking I could easily patch it, but I ran into a little problem.
The chip is an MT1939 and I understood that it needed an MT1959 (Redfox forum).

I hope I misunderstood and that the MT1939 can also be patched.

Thank you for your help.

To do anything above Bluray, you need a drive that was manufactured after 2015; your drive was manufactured 2 years before that. And the MT1939 processor locks that in place.

You can read Bluray disks with it (no patching necessary), but NOT UHD.

Ok, That is what I thought. The label on the reader indicates a manufacture in January 2022. :/

Either the sticker is a lie or someone found a bunch of old chips and decided to make 'new' drives out of them. If you can return the drive, you should.

Let's see this sticker curious if someone out there is faking these or if it's real

Hmm looks pretty real it the old style housing too compared to the LG WH16/14 XX wonder if they are going back to this because of the security flaws well may have to remove it from the list we will see in the coming weeks

Nahhhh. It's fraud.

How do you know? I have an ASUS external drive that I bought from Micro Center. I'm curious how to tell a fraud vs a real one.

It could also be a refurbished once from Asus I don't see why someone would fake these

[Fu2chN]

I'm coming back to you to tell you that everyone is ok now.

[Coopervid]

How?

I was able to proceed to a return even if the seller didn't want him. I bought another one and the chip was good, the patch was applied without a problem.

You have to be lucky once in a while. I would have believed you never see the money for this drive again.
