New (to me) LG WH16NS60 - Flashed, but LibreDrive not working?

[kn1ght0fn1]

Hi - I purchased an open-box WH16NS60 that had never been used - It flashed to firmware 1.02MK fine, but I am having issues trying to get it to work ripping UHD discs. It *says* it's a Libredrive drive with patched firmware, but doesn't seem to work with UHD discs. I've powered the drive (and the Windows 11 PC it's attached to) down several times and restarted, etc. several times since flashing. The machine works with the other attached drives fine.
Any ideas why it wouldn't be working???
There are two other LG UHD drives attached to the same system that work perfectly - I am replacing a third drive that burned up the motor that moves the laser head in the drive.

Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive
Saved AACS dump file as C:\Users\perry/.MakeMKV/MKB20_v82_Dogma_41F1.tgz
LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.

Seems like your not getting sdf or HK downloads
Download the sdd manually from the guide below and figure out why you can't connect to Russia or use the keydb see UHD discs section about that to manually download the keys

OK, I don't know quite what did it - I pulled the drive out of the enclosure and attached it directly via SATA, and since it wouldn't let me reflash with the same firmware, I used the old "All You Need Firmware Pack" vs. the newer (Marty McNuts) version of the WH16NS60 1.02 firmware, I think the old one is also the one I think I've been using on my existing drives.

Anyhow, it's working fine now in my old duplicator tower with the drives attached via USB3 hub and USB/SATA converters. Thanks for the input!

Exactly the same firmware file! Lol

More likely the SATA connection made the difference.
