Hi,

i bought a drive because my older BH16NS40 scratched the disc

this one is Firmware 1.03
Manufactured august 2015

i tried the sdftool but every firmware i try, it tells me, the drive is not the correct hardware platform.

are there different hardware revisions for the drive i am not aware of? this one seems to be 1939
in makemkv it shows:

Code: Select all

OS-Gerätename: E:
Produzent: HL-DT-ST
Produkt: BD-RE BH16NS40
Revision: 1.03
Serienummer: xxxxxxxx
Firmware-Datum: 2115-05-26 17:14
Markierungen der Bus-Verschlüsselung: 17
Highest AACS version: 77

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1939
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.03
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Partial
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

i didnt realize that there is a revision of ns40 drives that are not patchable.

Any help about this?

Besides the UHD feature, is this drive able to do the same as a flashed / patched one?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

thanks, that what i guessed
But i thought all drives from 2015 on are capeable. learned my lesson

i bought it used because its much cheaper and does the job.
100+ € new, 35€ shipped used....
