Good day,
Purchased a “new” WH16NS40 from ebay. Prod date is 24-04-26, I followed the Ultimate UHD guide and saw that the original installed firmware was version 1.01.
Flashing was successful bur the drive is booting into safe boot. The drive is safe mode with name “hp_BD-RE__HB40N_BOOT”.
Tried to revert back to the original firmware with no success.
Why the flashed boot firmware is showing an HP drive?
Any idea how I can fix this?
