LG WH16NS40 No Disk Inserted

Post by Cripples23 »

Successfully flashed my WH16NS40 to 1.02 to enable Libredrive. When I insert a disk however the blue activity light blinks for a couple seconds and Makemkv disk image spins for about 3 or 4 seconds then says no disk inserted. I need some help!

That's what I was afraid of, and no I did not just got the drive in and was so excited to get going I didn't even think of it. Looks like it's time for an ebay return.

Never buy these LG/Asus drives used they are complete junk
The reason people sell them is because they are bad

The one I bought was supposedly new without original packaging. But I can assume that was never the case. In your experience what has been the best drive?
