LG WH14NS40 not reading discs after flash
Posted: Wed May 06, 2020 10:56 pm
Hey guys, long time user, rare poster. I've had a WH14NS40 for a long time, today I flashed it following the instructions on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfpf6HoMMis. I used the tool it referenced in the comments section at the following location, https://drive.google.com/file/d/102V7DU ... meZTN/view. I made sure to follow the information Mike posted in https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 19&t=19113 and downloaded the latest MK pack from https://www.makemkv.com/download/mk-fir ... 200415.zip.
This is not the first time I've done this, just the first time with this drive. I verified the drive worked fine prior to flashing it. The drive label shows Manufactured April 2012 if that matters and was on Rom Version 1.00 before I flashed it. The latest MK flash has Version 1.04 in it, so that's what it was flashed to. Just like all of the times before, it prompted me for reboot, which I did and when it came up it was detected and is showing the correct version after the flash (Below is the output showing in MakeMKV now).
However, when I try to load a regular blu-ray, or UHD disc now, it just says "No Disc Inserted". Advice? TIA for help.
