Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS60
Revision: 1.02

Bought a few years ago from someone on here (can't remember who). It works for a bit then starts to make grinding noises. I'm wondering if it is overheating.

Forgive me if this question has been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find any documentation on it. Relative n00b here... I'm trying to flash a (supposedly) new ASUS BW-16D1HT, but the tool tells me the drive is not on the MT-1959 platform. This is a new one to me. I actually successfully flashed another one of these about six weeks ago. The present copy was built December '23 and ordered off Amazon (delivered unsealed, by the way). Windows Explorer recognizes the drive, but MakeMKV won't. I'm using a Vantec USB enclosure, if that makes any difference.

Any thoughts? Is the drive faulty, or the enclosure perhaps?

Thanks.

Can you post what MakeMKV shows for the drive?

It’s not even recognizing it. I can only see it in Explorer.

Firmware HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP50NB40-NB50-1.03-NM00800-212005070917 was successfully flashed but trying to flash HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin, even though it says "done successfully" in the terminal does nothing. It will still show the BP50NB40-NB50-1.03 firmware in MakeMKV. I'm on macOS 26.

Tried using both

./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/identifier' -f /tmp/sdf.bin rawflash enc -i /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin

and

./makemkvcon f -d '/IOBDServices/identifier' -f /tmp/sdf.bin rawflash main -i /tmp/HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP60NB10-1.02-NM00800-212005070935.bin

When I click the Start button, nothing happens.

Anyone experience this? Any advice would greatly be appreciated!

I don't see any responses, yet, so... is MakeMKV installed (in the default location)?
