Vinpower WH16NS58 1.V8 does not support disc quality check??!!!! Please help!

[PlextorMan]

Hello everyone,

I bought a new burning drive: "Vinpower WH16NS58" and found i fout that it does not support measuring the quality of BD-R, DVD amd CD media!

According to the reviews on this forum, it was said that this drive has modified firmware from the company: "Vinpower Digital", which can measure the quality of burned BD-R media (LDC/BIS).

The burn drive was purchased at: "https://labelprinter.pl/".

The drive came in a "bulk" version without the Plextools software, so I can't measure media quality in any software.

Where can the problem be? Thank you...

Contact your dealer or Vinpower support. They have already had mistakes with the uploaded firmware.
Also ask about PlexTools - they send it to your e-mail address for those who bought it and did not receive it on a CD.
The series with firmware 1.V5 tests discquality.

Hello,

I have solved this problem for a long time with the technical support of Vinpowerdigital.com, where I was told that the "58D and version robot" models can measure the quality (disc quality check), so I ordered the model: "robot" for more money and I received an identical model from: "labelprinter.pl", which also cannot measure the quality of burned media.

I returned both models back to: "Labelprinter.pl" and I am currently waiting for a refund.

I do not know if it was a mistake on the side of the labelprinter.pl or directly to the vigpowerdigital.com, but on the following models:
"DUP versions" cannot measure the quality of burned media in any programs.

I tested the firmware upgrade to version 1. V9 and downgrade on version 1. V5.

Interestingly, the second unit purchased had the same identification labels, but different firmware:
Drive no.1: "WH16NS58 1V8" Firmware.
Drive no. 2: (Reportedly Robot version): "WH16NS58 TSTK Firmware.

I am currently staying at my recently purchased new drive: Liteon IHBS 212 changed to Plexor PX-LB950SA (CrossFlash).

I tested the firmware upgrade to version 1. V9

Good night.
thanks for the info, was just thinking of buying one on amazon for $74.
Maybe your computer's SATA controller is interfering? Just a guess.


By the way, where did you get the 1.v9 FW?

Maybe you came across a description of what they changed in their firmware after 1.v5?

Question no. 1:

It's not by the SATA controller. I tried to connect the drive also via an external USB box: "OWC Mercury Pro":

I was also thinking about buying from Amazon.com

People in the discussion for this product write that this drive supports quality measurement.
Link Amazon product: Digital LG HLDS WH16NS58DUP

If you would ask Vinpower Digital directly via Amazon.com about this function with a link on this forum and this problem, maybe you will be succeed. Then I would definitely buy this drive from Amazon.com as well.

Question no. 2:

Firmware 1.V9 I received from technical support: VINPOWER Digital (Germany's Office).

Question no. 3:

I did not receive a list of changes, but if you request it, they will surely give it to you.
I have this firmware available.

This is the official EXE update firmware (download link see. below). It is designed for the version: "WH16NS58 DUP" I do not guarantee that "Disc Quality SCAN" will work with this firmware. Updating this firmware is at your own risk. When downgrading to firmware v.1.5 (using the program: "SDFtool Flasher"), I found that the firmware v. 1.9 is encrypted.

Note: If anyone can give information where to buy this drive with Disc Quality Scan function, I would be grateful. Thank you...
