unable to eject blu ray drive after flashing

#1 Post by ChuckD74 » Tue Sep 22, 2026 9:55 pm

I have a dell 8946 desttop with factory installed slim blu ray drive HL-DT-ST-BD-RE, I tried to use flash tool following online direction. However, cannot eject the drive after the flash. How can I determine if I trashed the drive?

What model drive is it and what firmware did you flash to it?
What did MakeMKV show for the drive info prior to flashing it?
What is the manufacture date and SVC code of the drive?
Cheers :D
