Just got my first USB BD drive, where do i start ?

Post by crucnix »

Hey, so i bought a BD Drive on ebay. The title was saying: External 4K Drive LG-BP55EB40 with LG-BP60NB10 FW 1.02mk "UHD friendly" USB 2.0.

I got it now and makemkv shows me for the drive following:
Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE BP55EB40
Revision: 1.03
Serial number: SIK05Q24B2249
Firmware date: 2121-07-08 16:06
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 16

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: MT1959

Disc Information
Label: 2012
Timestamp: 2010-01-27 12:56:55
Protection: AACS v16
Data capacity: 44.76 Gb
Disc type: BD-ROM
Number of layers: 2
Channel bit length: 74,5 nm (25.0 GB max. per layer)

So it says libredrive is not enabled. I assume this means, the 1.02mk is not installed ? did i got scammed ? can i install it my self ?
I know about the link here: viewtopic.php?t=19634
But i dont know at which part to start. My english isnt perfect.

Ps. If i try to copy a 32GB m2ts File to my hard drive, the max speed i get is around 12mb. Also when opening the folders from the disc, the drive starts making sounds and i dont know if its normal because the package of the drive clearly says silent and also up to 6x speed for bd. So i dont know if i have a faulty drive and may got scammed
