LG WH16NS40 won't read UHD (No disc inserted)
LG WH16NS40 won't read UHD (No disc inserted)
Hi, as the title says my drive doesn't seem to detect any UHD disks, all regular blu-rays seem to work fine though. I flashed it with the WH16NS60 1.02 firmware as advised here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634.
Any advice would be appricated, thank you!

if regular blurays work its flashed fine.
if you didnt already give it a full power cycle leave it off a min or so.
then try if still no try cleaning the UHD discs and then clean the lasers of the drive but if this is new i would just return it as i stopped selling these long ago because they had such bad quality control.
i recommend you go for a WP/BP50NB40 you can get they for $80-90 or you can get a preflashed and tested one from me.

Thanks for the advice Billy - it is a new drive and still doesn't recognise discs with several clean UHD discs and power cycle. Unfortunately i'm not US-based, so will need to find another available drive.
Appreciate the help

The Flashing Guide has a list of sellers. There might be one in your geography.

I have 2 of these wh16ns40 drives. They have been working for months and then all of a sudden they can't see any 4k disks. I re-flashed with the MK firmware I saw in the flashing guide, I tried version 1.00, 1.02 and 1.03 of the patched versions, but the drive still won't see the disks anymore. After trying to re-flash the drives they will not see the regular blu ray disks anymore as well, does the indicate the both drives are now bricked? Is there a way to fix them?
Thanks.
Here is a screen shot of one of the drives.

Have you power-cycled the drives? If internal, shut down PC for a few seconds & re-power (reboot is NFG... doesn't remove power). External, just unplug power for a few seconds. This MAY clear things up.vmax5000 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 31, 2022 7:35 pmI have 2 of these wh16ns40 drives. They have been working for months and then all of a sudden they can't see any 4k disks.

I did try to power down the PC, but it did not work. I was thinking of power down and change sata port, I will let you know what happens, but I have a sinking feeling that the drives are bricked.
Thanks for your feedback.
