LG BU40N worked once, now it doesn't detect disks.

Post by roberttho87 » Tue Dec 10, 2019 5:04 am

I have a bu40n that came with fw 1.03. I flashed it to 1.03mk and it initially read the first 4k disc I inserted. I moved it to my other pc, got a "usb device not recognized", and now it won't read any discs on either pc for some reason.

Libredrive says enabled, platform mt1959, type-patched (microcode reenabled), version 1.03, all region yes, raw data yes, raw metadata yes. I don't know what happened to cause it to not recognize any discs. all i get now is "no disc inserted".

I tried going to 1.0, didnt help, then 1.03mk again with no change.

Adding in an edit:
It shows up in device manager, but not on my computer. I also tried it on a third pc and get the same issue so I'm not really sure whats at fault, or if the drive just somehow bricked/died.
