I have repaired your BU40N drive and it is on it's way back. I buy a new UHD friendly drive from him anyway, just for backup.

After all, I did not buy this drive from him and yet he helps me so well. For someone I didn't know yesterday, I have to say that this is incredible service. He suggested that I send the drive to him to fix it at his place with his tools. Because I flashed a completely wrong firmware myself, it was no longer possible to remotely get it right again.īut it doesn't end there. There I could see that he really knows what he is doing. He spent quite some time using remote desktop to get my drive in order which I messed up myself. Wow I've been helped by Asmcom this morning. Then flash to your desired firmware if you don't want that one.' - as my BU40N came with firmware 1.03, i took it to mean sidegrading to 3.10Mkor would work.

If your drive has one of these firmwares, and there is no MK version of the same or higher number, you will have to sidegrade to Asus 3.10MKor LG 1.04MK. The newer OEM firmwares cannot be flashed easily due to the additional downgrade checks.

Misunderstood rather than failed to read. The firmware packages provided in this forum have BU40N firmware specifically for this purpose and that drive. You did not read and/or pay attention to the part of the guide that explicitly tells you NOT to cross-flash those slim drives. Managed to get it to BW-16D1HT 3.30mk, but now the drive tray doesn't open and discs won't read. Got myself a BU40N and followed the steps in the opening post etc, however get Updating Failure #5 when trying to flash the mk firmware.
