Show the full errors So i can guess why it's happening
I'm guessing now you have a USB drive that is rebooting because it does not have enough power

Hi, yeah I have to just remember to do the open close thing. I don't use it often so sometimes I forget and then it sounds dreadful but it is what it is! Not really fancy cross flashing, seems like it could cause more problems. Thanks for the reply! Don't forget you asus is a LG Says so right on th...

Yes I use the same steps on vlc to open the UHD discs, my doubt at this point is the startech enclosure that is not compatible, in europe where I can buy Vantec NST-510S3-BK 9.5mm slim sata case. Yeah it's not the case if you can open the disc in makemkv. If you are running the trial version of mak...

After 5-8 hours of use?

If it continues to give you problems return it and get a BU40N

Shut down your PC for a min then turn back on and it should work again

How are you opening nthe disc in vlc

You should use the open disc menu select Blu-ray and then it should work

Run the UHD advisor I have tested the BU40N to work for official playback but powerdvd is extremely buggy and with all requirements met most times it does not work it likes certain versions of Intel me.
But you can do unofficial playback easy with makemkv + vlc easy

How do the Asus drives compare? Are they generally any better or worse than the LG ones?

They are rebranded LG drives so exactly the same

Thanks for the reply. Can you expand on your post a bit? What constitutes "a good one" and what are the implications of not getting a good one? Thanks! A good one to me means no read errors if you don't get one of those you won't be able to rip like half of UHD disc you will be playing th...

I am considering buying a; LG WH14NS40 I presume this drive is still a good one to buy and flash to rip UHDs? Sorry I dont know a lot about this. The last time I flashed a drive was back in 2004 to play multi-region DVDs... It's ok if you get a Good one you have about a 75% chance of getting a good...

Hey Just wondering what steps you took to flash your drive? I have the same model and i'm unsure of how to find the correct MK firmware to flash. Did you just flash the one firmware from the all you need pack? yes all you need to do is as the guide says use enc if you have 1.04 with the bu40n 1.03 ...

I have a similar situation where my working LibreDrive flashed enclosure stopped working and just spits out discs. I have an external OWC Mercury Pro 16X Blu-ray, 16X DVD, 48X CD Read/Write Solution which comes shipped with a LG WH16NS40 . When I received it at the end of 2020, I dumped the firmwar...

It is these two:

LG WH16NS40
ASUS BW-16D1HT

Other discs read and rip correctly.

Those are the same drive
