Is the Pioneer BDR209-EBK Flashable for UHD compatibility?

Post by Deeply_Cynical »

The Blue laser in my WH14NS40 has just expired, I have an old Pioneer BDR-209EBK (Shows as a 209M in MakeMKV) lying around.
Is this flashable to be UHD compatible?
I'm assuming yes as every thread I've read on here as a "PM Sent" reply followed by a "Thanks that worked" from the OP.
