Regular discs read fine again and I got one disc reading (Disc 1 of the Arrow Hellraiser 4K set), but I'm having trouble getting any others to read. I think it's a power issue? What can I do to ensure it's getting enough power?

In the compatibility tab, click "Change high DPI settings" then under "High DPI scaling override" tick the box and select "System (Enhanced)" in the dropbox.

I accidentally flashed slim drive firmware (WP50NB40) onto my ASUS BW-16D1HT. The drive is now soft-bricked — it identifies as WP50NB40 1.03, and I can no longer flash anything else to it. “Write flash” throws error 0xff05c103, and “Recover Drive” doesn’t work either. The drive is still seen in Windows and MakeMKV, but no flashing tool accepts the model mismatch.

I’ve tried renaming the firmware, using SDFTool and ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer, rebooting, and unplugging—no change. I do not have a firmware dump.

Does anyone have a method to reflash a BW-16D1HT that’s been misflashed with a slim drive identity?

Appreciate any help you can offer.

three month ago I bought a Hitachi-LG BU40N Internal and flashed it to the 1.03 firmware and everything was working wonderfully. Now suddenly it won't recognice DVDs, Blu-rays and UHDs, just CDs show up as inserted. I guess it's not a firmware problem, so I want to return the drive. It came with firmware version 1.04. It seems I did not make a dump of that before flashing the drive.
Is version 1.04 available somewhere? On the Hitachi-LG website I only found an "auto firmware update" tool. Will the flash be detectable if I return to 1.04 before returning the drive?

I've downloaded the SDL GUI. But when I try and open it, the program says that I need MakeMKV Installed. But I installed it. What should I do?

Would be grateful for your help.

"Cannot expand...It has a format that is not supported."
Is there a separate file for Mac?
