It's a brick.

Re: Drive suddenly ejecting everything

No. Try reading a CD and DVD. If it works the red laser is OK. Try reading a BD. If it doesn't work the blue laser is dead. I tried to clean it now. Inserted UHD - click click - eject. BD Disc - same two click noises - eject empty CD-R - same. Don't have an DVD atm, lol. Can't test that. doesnt sou...

Re: Drive suddenly ejecting everything

Pop out the tray. You should see now little glas lenses approx. 2-3 mm in diameter. Use a cotton swab and some alcohol. Wipe them dry with another cotton swab. Try the disc. There are two lenses and 2 lasers in the drive. One for CD /DVD the other for BD. If the drive still reads CDs and DVDs the l...

Drive suddenly ejecting everything

My good old BD-RE BU40N is now ejecting everything within a few seconds. No Error, nothing. Just a few click clacks and boom, ejected. No message on MakeMKV. Here are the details from the drive: Drive Information Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST Product: BD-RE BU40N Revision: FR07 Serial number: 803HS013801 F...

Re: Pacific Rim Uprising

can't rip that movie, I have an BDR-UD04 1.14 which can read the disc but fails, the disc is brand new, got an replacement already, lol.
The second drive BU40N with 0.FR07J can't even open the disc, it ejects it instantly without any message.

Re: what do get as second drive for my Mac?

Hi asmcom, great to hear that I have two good drives :D i didnt make an comparison yet, just watching the rip speeds when ripping the same TV show, there the pioneer was faster. my BU40N never hit the 8x mark?! But I don't really watch it, I start them both and usually come back some time later. The...

Re: what do get as second drive for my Mac?

it can read so far, im ripping an tv show currently, both drives running same time, great.
Inresting is, the Pioneer is running a bit faster 4,7 than the BU40N 4,3.
Gona try out UHD soon, but it should be able to handle that right?

Re: what do get as second drive for my Mac?

Thanks for the suggestions and offers! Tomorrow I will receive the Verbatim 43888 and hopefully it works out of the box. Would be the cheapest drive so far that doesn't require flashing at all.
99€ and no flashing sounds to good to be true. I already expected another 1-200€ for the second drive.

Get it. Return it if you have the new incompatible firmware.
I ordered one today, should arrive in 2-3 days. I’m really to get the right fw. but i can return it for free, so no risk.
Is this an reliable drive in general? It’s really really cheap, 99€, I’m wondering why…

Re: what do get as second drive for my Mac?

Soo… lot of more research done. I found that the BDR-XD07TS is available here cheap, 120€. Is it correct that i could crossflash it to an BDR-XD07UHD? Where can i get the older firmware versions for BDR-XD07TUHD? Like 1.01? You cant cross flash it you will have to buy it from one of the sellers her...

Re: what do get as second drive for my Mac?

Do you need internal or external drive? I bought a Verbatim 43888 (Pioneer inside) three weeks ago in EU - came with latest firmware 1.14 (last year or older) and works great. Already scanned discs, that my internal Asus and Hitachi couldn't read... Can u share the infos shown in makwmkv? Sounds ve...

Re: Pioneer firmware update February 2023

Where to get older versions of the firmware? Like 1.01? I’m intrested in crossflashing an BDR-XD07TS to an BDR-XD07TUHD because these are not possible to buy here or they are extremely overpriced.
