Nope, the BP40NS20 it is a Renesas based BT20N drive. Someone has just dumped the firmware over at rpc1.org: http://forum.rpc1.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=49444

Thanks vroom, I’ve got the one from rpc1.org already and I presume your firmware version would most likely be the same version as the one I’ve got from rpc1.org. If it is any different then I would definitely take you up on your offer.

The one I’ve got is version [B]ML01-01a[/B] dated [B]090711[/B].

It’s the same as yours, so no need to send it.

Thanks, hope that isn’t the last Renesas chipset burner from LG.
