I already have a good number of digitized titles and I had almost no problems until I reached a couple of discs from the Game of Thrones series, with which I tried several of the tips given in this forum regarding cleaning the discs without a positive result. As a consequence, I decided to buy another reader that I saw on Amazon at a good price, the one mentioned in the post, although this one needs to be modified to read UHD discs. I would appreciate any advice on this, thank you and best regards.

@Coopervid, would you mind pm'ing me with the necessary additional details to flash? I have the SDFtool flasher (v1.3.5), the ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer_(Modified) (24.08.2019), and the following firmware which I could flash (ASUS-BW-16D1HT-3.10-WM01601-211901041014.bin). As you're aware, the SDFtool flasher doesn't work, as it's not the MT1959 platform.

Should I utilize the ASUS_ODD_FW_Changer? Wanted to make sure I didn't update it to one of the latest firmware's, and then not be able to go back.

Really would appreciate your insight. Cheers

I just got the ASUS everyone seems to like and have the loader to keep it simple but it points to my system looking for the firmware to use.

Thanks for the leg up
