WH16NS40 Hesitation To Flash

[ostee888]

So this is probably the 1000th time seeing this, but I don't know if I am ready to flash. I have read the one on my drive:
https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=19634\

However my "Drive Platform" does not match. I saw I have firmware version 1.00 and was wondering if I wanted to upgrade the firmware to 1.03 from the LG website.

So, AM I READY OR NOT and if not what do I need to do to get it ready.

As it’s stated in that guide, the platform must be MT1959 and the drive manufactured date late 2015 or later.

Your drive platform is MT1939 and manufactured 2013. So of course it’s not a match. Can’t be clearer than that. If you flash this drive you will brick it. Buy a new drive as instructed in that same guide.

Drive is too old for UHD. DON'T DO IT! Recovery is a PITA.

Thanks for the response, I was wondering why it was so much different.
