Bluray Writer - Downgrade firmware ??
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2022 2:11 pm
I have an LG (BD-RE-BH 16NS40) internal BluRay writer on my Windows 10 system and it usually runs like dream.
Lately though it hasn’t been able to load or recognise BluRay discs or play them. It does however recognise DVD and cd formats.
I know Windows often updates in the background and wondered if any recent changes may have caused some conflict?
I’ve also been told, that to play (or decrypt) UHD discs I need to downgrade my firmware – I’ve had a quick look at this online, but I’m not particularly tech-savvy and not sur how to go about it, safely and hopefully at no cost.
I’ve tried updating the driver, but it says I have the latest version, so I’m not quite sure how best to proceed. I know a few people have had problems with Windows 10 and dvd-roms.
I’ve only had the BluRay writer for about 2 years, so hopefully not faulty.
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.
(PS: was trying to load the ‘Get Back’ bluray)
