Thanks! I wouldn't have through that new disks would have needed it. I cleaned it and the error moved from ~4 million position to ~8 million position, but it still failed. Played with it a lot more, including a few more cleanings, but this thing was determined to fail no matter what.

Guess it was ...

Hi everyone. I've found other threads about errors like this but they're generally old and lacking answers and I didn't want to necro one of those.

I'm getting these errors all of a sudden when trying to rip a UHD Blu Ray. The Blu Ray drive has been acting fine ripping other Blu Rays, even UDH ones ...

Haha. You and me both. It really seems like these UDH capable readers have disappeared within the past 6-9 months. I guess it's time to get a refund for my scam drive from ebay and look at Best Buy. Are those slim drives pretty reliable? I assumed that the old internal ones would outlast time ...

Thanks!! I'll have to give that LG a look then.

Here's all I get in MakeMKV now:

Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS40
Revision: BOOT

No disc inserted


Sadly, iirc, I think it reported as MT1939 previously in the 2nd block of info that's no longer there.



I'm gathering ...

Thanks for the fast response. That didn't change the behavior. I have the SDFtool 1.3.6 copied to the default install directory of MakeMKV (running as admin too). It's telling me too that the platform isn't MT1959 and doesn't support flashing (though I don't know how it did anything in the first ...

Hello. This will be my 2nd time needing to flash a drive for LibreDrive to work (my old Asus burned out its laser after only a few hours of read time but it was at least easy to flash).

I recently bought an LG WH16NS40 with a manufacturing date of 2024.08.18 reporting as being on the 1.01 unpatched ...
