Even though this is not a BDR-212V, I'd be super grateful if you could help me make this one UHD-friendly: Drive Information OS device name: D: Current profile: DVD-ROM Manufacturer: PIONEER Product: BD-RW BDR-209D Revision: 1.33 Serial number: Firmware date: 2015-12-09 Bus encryption flags: 13 Hig...

Correct.

Lithium based products have taken over these applications almost entirely. from the factory pioneer uses clear lube likely silicone lithium grease is usually white So we mostly do not need to grease anything inside these drives right - Thanks Np.

Yes, it's a combo, like the ASUS BC-12D2HT / BC-12B1ST also. But this combo is the first which has problems with the WH16NS60 1.02MK, I had four or fives of CH12NS40 in the past. An with the fw of the BC-12D2HT it has no problems with the same 3-layer discs. Could it be, that the blue laser is dyin...

I've a curious handling with a CH12NS40. It had the original fw 1.00 installed which was 4k friendly and worked with MakeMKV. But that drive I normaly flash to WH16NS60 1.02MK. But with the WH16NS60 1.02MK no 4K disc will be recognized in Windows (before opening MakeMKV). Trying, trying, trying, st...

I'm in the middle of a repair attempt on a BDR-XS07 drive that doesn't respond at all when plugged in. I'm still tracing power to confirm it's getting everywhere it needs to go, but I'm hoping someone can shed some light on flashing the bios chip out of circuit in case power is all good and this was just a bad flash - I have a programmer, but i'm curious if these drives need the ROM chip flashed and maybe also some additional stuff flashed beside the mx eeprom on the board?

Currently the board isn't recognized at all when you plug it in, but i've been able to confirm the main fuse appears to be good, still need to trace it to the rest of the chips with datasheets. If anyone has any details that might prove helpful, any direction would be appreciated 😀

Hoping @coopervid might pop in here... 😀
Flashing is just software based in Windows. You seem to have a hardware problem and so flashing can't help.
Thanks @coopervid, I guess I was keeping the possibility that the drive wouldn't do anything if the firmware was corrupted somehow, but I'll keep going on my diagnostics and hopefully just find a bad component that needs replacing. All i want to hear is that "usb device recognized" sound in windows when i plug it in, then, hopefully I can get it back together again, these slot load drives are quite complex in their mechanical action!

I read several times that the USB->SATA bridge went bad on these drives.

I also suggest Lithium based grease just in case they use brushed motors.
