This article depicts the procedure to generate a custom firmware for Lg MS450H/MS400H device based on Realtek RTD1183 chipset. This is adapted and extracted from Astone forum, thanks to them. Before starting, this blog disclaims any responsibility for any damage resulting from downloading or carrying out procedures depicted on this blog. Prerequisi

Front: Front with the door opened: Back: These pictures have been extracted from the French review Digital World, read the test here.

This procedure is extracted and adpated from french MS450H forum: 1) Copy a named MS400_YYMMDD_0118.img image file to USB stick's root folder, 2) Switch Off your device with the power bouton (remote or top of the device) 3) Plug the USB stick in USB port located in the front of the device 4) Hold the record bouton "O" which is located in front of t

Hereafter, it is a MS450H device where the hitachi internal disk has been removed, you will note that the SATA connecter as well the power connector with the plugged cable are presents: Now a screenshot of the MS400H where SATA and power connector are missing: Note: thanks to Victor for these pictures where he is acting within the Spanish forum.

This blog tries to gather information about the customisation of the Lg MS450H/MS400H device. These information are directly extracted either from existing MS450H forums or from my own experience. But I'll also try to adapt the procedures depicted for others devices using Realteck chipset. if you have any related information, please feel free to sh

A first test have been done by Spanish forum where they were able to add successfully an extra Sata disk to a MS400H device, without modifying the firmware. So they confirmed that there is no difference between MS400H and MS450H firmware. You will find the test here: link However, this solution does not reply to my expectations, I prefer to put a f

A member of the French forum homecinema-fr, has also successfully added an internal drive but in this case he used a SATA connector used on a previous PC motherboard and he made a custom cradle for the internal disk. This proposal is pretty nice than Spanish solution unfortunately he had to solder a wired power connector directly to the PCB. Here y
