Just flashed my drive and it is not reading any of the UHD discs that I insert. Emailed details to Billycar, but figured I would also post here in case anyone else can help.

It looks like the flasher did something because the Product now shows "BD-RW BDR-S12JX" instead of "BD-RW BDR-S12" and the Firmware Version changed to "1.01/ID72" from "1.01/ID45"

Any ideas/help would be much appreciated, thanks!

You need to power off your PC, wait a bit and then restart it. Then try again.
