Did I brick my Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB?

[cdemi]

I have bought the Buffalo BRXL-PT6U2VB EU External Drive.

I have managed to flash

Code: Select all

ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin

and now my drive shows as:

The only way to fix is now is to take the drive apart and use dosflash with a direct sata connection in ide mode

You sure did. What possessed you to choose the ASUS firmware to load on a slim LG drive?
