Yeah well you didn’t read before you went off to do something like that and bricked your drive. Read this:robbydobby wrote: Wed Aug 15, 2018 10:05 am So I have a BW-16D1HT that had the 1.01 firmware on it, have had the drive for 2+ years. I noticed that for a long time with MakeMKV that if I rebooted the computer after it was installed it would give an error saying no drive found. To get it to work again I would have to uninstall/reinstall to resolve the issue. I recently noticed that even if it shows the message that I was still able to use the program by telling it to open file.
I recently tried updating the firmware and installed latest version from ASUS 3.03 after doing this and uninstalling and reinstalling MakeMKV it detected the drive but didn't detect a dvd that was previously used, also happens after going back to 3.00 from one of the links found. just wanted to see if anyone had noticed this issue before, is there a link to the old 1.01 version of the firmware? Thanks
Yes, but at this point in the game it's a game of chance. There are still some in the wild, but most manufacturers/vendors are now selling patched up drives.sepalod69 wrote: Wed Aug 22, 2018 6:32 pm Hey,
I have a question regarding the FW. Is it still possible to buy a new

I believe you absolutely, but I'm from germany. So sending the Drive might be quite expensive.jonghotti wrote: Thu Aug 23, 2018 9:30 am100% guaranteed you’ll get lucky!

VERY detailed instructions:sepalod69 wrote: Thu Aug 23, 2018 6:39 pm I believe you absolutely, but I'm from germany. So sending the Drive might be quite expensive.
May be it's better to flash the drive by my own? No clue. Is it difficult? What does I have to do?
Probably easiest to consult ASUS F/W release notes?DPyro wrote: Fri Aug 24, 2018 10:58 pm Just got a Asus BW-16D1HT with 3.03 firmware and managed to downgrade to 3.01. I didn't see 3.02 in the clean firmware's file and am wondering if I should bother upgrading to it. What is the difference between 3.01 and 3.02?
Where would I find those?
You're right, we're far and away from transparency. They didn't even go for clever verbage, choosing straight censorship instead.d00zah wrote: Fri Aug 24, 2018 11:38 pm Hmm... engineering releases ain't what they used to be. Even F/W archive sites don't offer 'em:
