Drive Lifetime Expectations for LG WH16NS40 and others

So my LG WH16NS40 has finally seemed to kick the bucket. I did got a heck of a lot of use out of it ripping 4K Blu Rays and regular BluRays. After about 2.5 years, it stopped ripping 4k Blu Rays. Now after 4 years, it won't recognize any disks. (tried re-installing firmware, tested on different PCs ...

Re: New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

@Billycar11 I just tested one of the 4K Blu Rays I successfully ripped last year and now it can no longer read it either (even tried on a different PC, still no luck), so I guess drive is worn out or something. Only 3 years old, but can still rip regular Blu Rays at least. Anyway, I'm now in the mar...

Re: New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

Yea I just ripped 2001 Space Odyssey HD BluRay just fine from the same package, but 4k one won't work. So strange. Do drives that say they're 4k Bluray compatible tend to work better for 4k Blurays than ones that don't? I read somewhere a while ago that the WH16NS40 was supposed better cause it was ...

Re: New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

Thanks, I tried flashing to 1.02 as suggested (HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS60-1.02-NM00100-211810291936.bin) and it flashed successfully. Shutdown the computer, started it back up 15 min later. Same "No disc" issue... Any other things I can try? UPDATED INFO --------------------------------------...

Re: New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

Tested again and now I'm just getting a "No disc" error. Saw some other threads about cleaning the disk, and uninstalling the drive and reinstalling, reinserting several times, tried all that nothing has changed. INFO reads: ------------------------- Drive Information OS device name: \Devi...

Re: New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

The disks just keep spinning and are never recognized by the drive or MakeMKV. Is there someone else to find error logs or something with more info if the UI doesn’t show BluRay that you can click on to start getting the info?

New 4K Blurays no longer working (2001 Space Odyssey and Across the Spider-verse)

I used to be able to rip 4K BluRays just fine with my LG WH16NS40 after flashing the right firmware (patched 1.05 ), but these latest 2 aren't working: 2001 Space Odyssey https://www.amazon.com/2001-Space-Odyssey-Ultra-UHD/dp/B07KH8W76F Spiderman - Across the SpiderVerse https://www.amazon.com/Spide...

Re: LG WH16NS40 1.05 won't downgrade to 1.02

Trying to rollback my LG WH16NS40 1.05 drive to read 4K disks, but running into some issues. I tried following the Haxor manual here using makemkvcon64.exe to flash my drive: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyQV1aPlbow with the file provided here: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&am...
