Re: Bum drive? Firmware error? (BU40N, disc spins and spins and spins and...)
Your issue though is not common nor normal. I only suggest you test a couple more different UHD and BD discs to be sure the drive is the issue. Can you return it and get another BU40N to try? The BU40N is generally the best drive available from LG and is usually pretty good, so it would be worth tr...

Re: Bum drive? Firmware error? (BU40N, disc spins and spins and spins and...)
So the drive could be the issue. You really need to rest a few more different UHD and BD discs to be sure. If you have the same issue with a lot of discs, then the drive is most likely the issue. I see. Thanks for the insight. Is this generally how this process goes, then? Run different discs throu...

First things first. Always insert the disc and let the OS initialize it before opening the MakeMKV application. Also, clean the disc. Just give it a wipe with a microfiber cloth. This is especially important with UHD discs as 95% of them have some sort of invisible film or gunk on them. See how you...

Bum drive? Firmware error? (BU40N, disc spins and spins and spins and...)
Basically what it says on the tin. I recently built a small living room HTPC for the purpose of ripping media/playing light PC games. The case has a slot for a laptop ODD, so I bought a BU40N internal drive, hooked it up, successfully flashed the firmware to DE_LG_BU40N_1.03_MK. Opened up MakeMKV an...
