Picked up another LG drive (BP50NB40) as my existing LG drive (BP60NB10) was throwing up errors on every disc I tried. It worked perfectly for months before.
Tried flashing the BP50NB40 but so far no luck. I tried downgrading too. Any ideas on what I'm missing.

Ah OK thanks Billy, should I go to Hybrid_Firmware_for_BP50NB40_to_BP60NB10/DE_LG_BP50NB40-NB50_1.01_MK_HBD.bin

I did and successfully flashed to 1.03. Unfortunately it still won't read my discs, it just ejects them even although it's patched. I tried doing the next flash but it failed.

Yep, as Billy said, either follow this guide or use the recovery method of SDFtool Flasher: viewtopic.php?p=94848#p94848
I also recommend BU40N 1.00 firmware over the BP60NB10 MK firmware as it is compatible with all good ripping software.
Cheers

Hi there. I'm doing this for the first time and just wanted to make sure I have a compatible drive. I got an LG BH16NS40 manufactured in April of 2024. Will this work, or is it back to the shop for this one?

As per the 1st post of this thread, you should be good if all the requirements are met. Please read and report back with specific questions.
I have been using an LG BH12LS38 for BluRays, DVDs and CDs for 13 years and it has been rock steady for ripping. Now I have a few UHDs I am wondering if this is UHD friendly?
I have a couple of these that are all on 2011 firmware, so I am good on the non UHDs for quite a long time.
I have CD drives that were before DVDs and the actually read and play DVDs with a newer firmware. Of course cables and adapters are necessary. So many manufacturers dropped there "products" when they were to costly for them to produce at the price they wanted. I have two DVDs from Toshiba that are IDE and run like a charm. Of course I have cleaned lenses and belts and so on.
You would be amazed at how things that are "...said can't be done" that can be done.
in 2023 I needed to access a 5 1/4" floppy and was told it is impossible to run on a new computer. Easy as pie on a 2020 Dell Precision workstation.
Been in the IT business since 1982 and you would be amazed things that can be done.
So, the lesson I have experienced is - always try, try and try before your quit.

The chip in your drive is not capable to handle UHDs. So you need a new drive for UHDs.
