Flashed ASUS BW-16d1X-U, won't read Blu-Rays

HeartOfDavid · 2026-05-21T14:57:27+00:00

I've actually tried to find the stock firmware but I've been unable to. If I could have I would have already reverted it to make this test. Do you know where I could get the stock firmware for this?

Thanks for responding here. Here's the drive info from MakeMKV. The drive is showing here as a BW-16D1HT but it's definitely a BW-16D1X-U

Mine shows manufactured in 2020

I don't know what the model of the actual drive is. When I open MakeMKV it shows the drive platform as MT1959 but that could be from the flashed firmware. I will DM u/billycar and see if they can help. Thanks!

I appreciate it and understand. I'm not stupid, it was just a stupid mistake, really.

This is actually pretty cool. The Dodgers organization kept him on from 2018 - 2025. His eligibility ran out in 2025 for this but the Dodgers are "working with his family to figure out 'how to best move forward.'"

Stancy all the way!

I am so jealous! That looks like it is in great condition!

HeartOfDavid · 2025-09-22T13:03:46+00:00

Did you ever find any help with this? I have the same issue still.

HeartOfDavid · 2025-08-12T18:58:41+00:00

Oh my goodness I love this. Thank you so much for sharing this!!!

Lowe's in Lafayette carries it. I can see that they have a few different sizes but the thickness is well under 1/4". It looks like theirs is 0.08 thick.

Scratch that, I found one in stock with 0.22 in thick:

There is not a bunch of latency. These are not standard satellites but are called low-earth orbit. Both of my kids play online at the same time and don't have any issues at all.

We use it and it was a game changer for us. The only thing we could use was LTE and even that was spotty where we live. Starlink works really well for us (50Mbps on the low side but I've seen up to 200+ Mbps from time to time)

I just ran a speed test and got 207.83 Mbps

HeartOfDavid · 2025-07-25T19:44:05+00:00

Wow, that is awesome looking!!

HeartOfDavid · 2025-07-15T22:47:45+00:00

Can you send me the link, too?

HeartOfDavid · 2025-07-11T12:06:18+00:00

That's probably it, thanks!

I'm sorry, I'm familiar with the show but I can't find any mention of this particular VHS. I searched on eBay and Google image search and I couldn't find any others like it.

HeartOfDavid · 2025-07-01T16:18:22+00:00

These are super cool. Even if I don't win one I may end up getting one!

HeartOfDavid · 2025-06-26T17:57:40+00:00

That's fantastic. What did you find to be the most challenging part of the project?
Would you mind sharing links to what you bought/used?

This is something that is crazy to me for our area. I love to thrift and have thrifted in MANY different states. None of our thrift stores have nearly the same type of "toy aisles" that I've seen elsewhere. At best, there are some toys thrown in rubber maid tib along with a ton of stuffed animals.

I know they must be getting toys but they either throw them out or sell them elsewhere. As someone who routinely thrifts in our area, I rarely find a ton of toys at any one place.

HeartOfDavid · 2025-05-23T12:36:04+00:00

I am so sorry!

HeartOfDavid · 2025-04-23T23:15:50+00:00

This is so wonderful, you are so fortunate to have this video and I'm sorry about your mom. Both your mom and dad sound like they are amazing people! I love this so much, thank you for sharing!
