New Verbatim BU40N drive which was flashed to 1.03 using SDF 1.3.6
When I try to recover the drive to 1.0 I get 'command produced error code 0x82062900'
The drive no longer recognises discs.

MakeMKV shows:

Hi,

I have several questions.

First, out of curiosity, what was your drive's *original* firmware before the very first flash ? BU40N 1.05 maybe ?

Second, normally a flash either succeeds or it doesn't (yes, even in spite of the error code). It looks like the RECOVER to BU40N 1.00 succeeded despite the error code. Just to make sure, what was the *first* firmware you selected for RECOVER ? DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK.bin, right ? And the second was DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin ? Did the drive stop working after flashing to 1.03, or after you used RECOVER to 1.00 ? (which shouldn't have been needed, really, "pure" BU40Ns usually only need a regular WRITE)

Third, by "no longer recognizes discs", you mean *any* disc, right ? Be it DVD, BD, or UHD ? Like, if you insert a disc and try launching MakeMKV, it spins for a few seconds and says "no disc" ? Something like that ?

In that case, could you please try this ?

Do this twice if needed and let us know how it goes. I may have a bad feeling about this if this doesn't work, sadly. :(

Why did we recover in the first place you could direct flash to 1.00 from 1.03mk
