I downloaded and installed 1.05, taking care to follow its instructions, so as not to damage the drive. There, I saw that the latest version was actually 1.05. The other route was to travel, via a Google search for this model, to the manufacturer’s webpage. I say that because the resulting FirmwareHQ webpage showed only firmware version 1.03.

That route did not seem to lead to the latest firmware update.

One was to use the option, within ImgBurn’s Tools menu, of going to Drive > Check for Firmware Updates. There were at least two ways to look for firmware updates. As I researched it, I saw a suggestion to see whether there was a recent firmware update for my BD-R drive. That produced an error:ĪSC/ASCQ Interpretation: Cannot Format Medium – To finalize the disc, I went into ImgBurn > Tools > Drive > Close > Disc. I didn’t realize that, as discussed in another post, ImgBurn would take care of that. (I had my purchase receipt to verify the model number of the drive, but I could also have used Speccy for that.)Īt that moment, it occurred to me that maybe I was supposed to finalize the disc manually. I had just used ImgBurn to burn a BD-R data disc on my LG WH16NS40 Blu-ray drive.

But they did not turn out to work for my particular drive. This post described my exploration of the issue.
