LG BU40N Not Platform MT1959?
Posted: Wed Jul 08, 2026 5:48 pm
I just plugged in a new LG BU40N (Mfg Date: November 2019). My Windows 11 PC recognizes the new drive which is connected via USB adapter cable. I can insert a Blu-ray disc in it and it reads the info on the disc and is ready to rip. Drive information under the Info section of MakeMKV shows:
OS device name: \Device\DdRom1
Current Profile: BD-ROM
Product: 99999999999999
Revision: FR07
Serial Number: 911HS009563
Firmware date: 2119-05-10 13:48
Bus encryption flags: 1F
Highest AACS version:82
SDFtool Flasher (v.1.3.6) shows a red X next to MT 1959 Platform. Flasher identifies the drive as: F: 000000_FR07_211905101348_911HS009563. MakeMKV shows the same Source identification.
Is this drive un-flashable in this or any state? Could it be an issue with the USB 3.0 to 7+6 13-pin slimline adapter cable I'm using to connect the drive to my PC?
