Disk doesn't spin after flashing Asus BW-16D1HT

Post by olupome »

Hi guys,

I just flashed my internal Asus BW-16D1HT with MK firmware version 3.10. Everything looks fine in MakeMKV:

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr0
Manufacturer: ASUS
Product: BW-16D1HT
Revision: 3.10
Serial number: SIK98F26A470
Firmware date: 2119-01-04 10:14
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version: 63

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 3.10
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

No disc inserted
but when I insert a disk, UHD or standard bluray, it doesn't spin and act like nothing was inserted. Did I miss something?

Haha I totally messed it up then. Thanks for your help. It's not that important anyway, it's in a pc I don't really use anymore.

Let's say sombody stupid also flashed his way too old Asus BW-16D1HT to ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014 and it stopped working but his PC supports IDE-Mode and dos flash. What would be the way to go to debrick it? :oops:
