Wondering if it is possible to flash this? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I bought it with the idea it would be plug and play but it was advertised as USB-C and showed up as USB 3.0 flat? Hoping I don't need to make a return.

Hey

I just noticed my old Laptop has a Pioneer drive
But I cant read UHD
The Laptop is from 2013 or 14
And the drive is named BD-RW BDR-UD03D

So the D might make a difference

But maybe I found the honeypot and can make it read UHD
