New Verbatim 43888 questions

[Tsunamijhoe]

Hey guys
So, i got a new verbatim 43888 that has a BU40N with a 1.5 firmware i sdf flashed it to the BU40N from the "all firmware you need" pack, and it works perfectly fine ripping 4k discs, at least the one i tried ripped fine (Bourne Identity), however can someone explain the sleep bug?
And if it is present in my drive if i succesfully flashed it to the 1.03? If so, how to i fix it?
Also, i forgot to make a backup of the original firmware, does this matter? If so, can i just get an original 1.5 firmware and use the flasher if i need to return it under warranty? If so, where do i get an original firmware?
And last, is there a reason to further downgrade the firmware?

Thank you for your help

Your drive does not have the sleep bug. Official UHD drive's/firmware do not have it, only "friendly" UHD drive's/firmware do.

You can't backup the original v1.05 firmware.

Thank you very much for the answers..

Last question, any reason to flash to 1.0?

Other than that it works like a charm.

v1.0 is compatible with all good ripping software. MK firmware is only compatible with MakeMKV and Xreveal.

If so, where do i get an original firmware?

You can attempt to flash this BU40N 1.05 firmware onto a Verbatim 43888 that's also a BU40N if you ever need to do that, and I believe it will work (someone has already tested this and it worked just fine for that person).

Please do not use the official LG BU40N 1.05 flasher onto the Verbatim 43888 (only use the firmware above with makemkvcon/SDFtool Flasher), otherwise you risk "half-bricking" your drive.
