New user, my drive isnt working

Post by BeepBoop »

Hello,

Drive Information
OS device name: D:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH14NS40
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: K8LC4LM5014
Firmware date: 2112-02-09 11:26
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 68

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1939
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Partial

I've tried 3 different UHD, from past 3 years, it tries to load them and suddenly stops, i assume thats a failure. It reads regular blurays though. I've restarted my pc and everything. Running 1.18.1.

Thank you for your time.

This drive is too old and the wrong drive platform. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH IT!!! For UHD readability, it must be MT1959. If you want to read UHD discs you need a new drive.
Cheers :D
