i dont think so i have flashed some of the ones that show 1.05 no longer the BN fw

Re: Buffalo BRXL-PUS6U3B
i have only seen the light on top red when i was messing the the power, never when a disc has been in there. i tried letting the os see it then opening makemkv but that didnt help either. i took a video of it so you could hopefully hear the drive, dont know if it will help, i posted it on reddit and tagged you in the commentBillycar11 wrote: Tue Nov 03, 2026 7:33 amis the light on top red sometimes?BlueChicken9889 wrote: Tue Nov 03, 2026 7:31 am

Re: Buffalo BRXL-PUS6U3B
I'm curious how this goes. I just got the same drive with the same 1.05 firmware that you had, but I haven't tried flashing it yet.
