Buffalo BRXL-PUS6U3B

i dont think so i have flashed some of the ones that show 1.05 no longer the BN fw
im leaning towards power issue plug in to higher power ports or a powered usb hub

i have tried plugging it into different ports and a powered usb hub, neither changed the results. nothing shows up in the log window. the drive will spin but never successfully reads the disk. makemkv doesnt show anything after that, just says no disc inserted. i have also tried different UHD discs thinking maybe the one i was trying was bad but that didnt change anything either

Does the UHD disc show in Windows explorer?

No it doesnt even show there. did try it with a normal blu ray as well and that did show up

is the light on top red sometimes?

also always let the os see the disc then open makemkv never open makemkv and then put a disc in

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 comment

i tried reflashing to bu40n 1.00 with a bootloader. did it using martys flasher and software he provided, did not work. ill try cleaning the laser tomorrow.

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.

He has other issues I have flashed many of these they are fine once flashed

See guide below and treat as bu40n

Or email me or Marty for an automated flasher

I've got exactly the same issue. It's connected to external power. I found the 1.00 firmware in Marty's firmware pack, performed the update with SDFtool both with and without bootloader. It completes and says it was successful but then shows the following, as if the firmware was not actually updated even though I received no errors. If I put in a UHD, it spins for a while but ultimately says no disc. Windows Explorer doesn't show the drive. Standard Blu-ray discs work fine. I suspect something has changed with these new Buffalo drives.

Sorry man looks like you either have a bad drive discs or power issue

Did you see my recent post? I'm experiencing exactly the same issue out of the box. It would seem to be more than coincidence. Do you have any advice on the situation? I fear that something has changed with the drive making it impossible to flash and that others may experience this if purchasing the drive from BHPhoto using the link you provided in the Ultimate UHD Guide.

Don't get me wrong. I know things can change on a dime and I certainly don't hold you responsible. I'm just hoping to get some feedback and a path to a solution. If there is not one and I have to find another drive, so be it.

If that's the case try removing the drive from the case and see what happens

They should be bu40n and work.with UHD once flashed
But as I said I have flashed multiple of these and they worked with the 1.05 fw
