Help Please - Libre Drive enabled LG suddenly no longer detects UHD or regular Blu-rays

Post by Strange Angel »

Hello, this is my drive:

Drive Information
OS device name: \Device\CdRom0
Current profile: DVD-ROM
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS60
Revision: 1.02
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2118-10-29 19:36
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Patched (microcode access re-enabled)
Firmware version: 1.02
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

I have been ripping everything from DVDs to 4K UHDs happily for a few weeks now, but today I was ripping a 4K tv show and the first disc ripped fine, but on the second disc I got a bunch of this error: Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:INVALID FIELD IN CDB' occurred while reading '/BDMV/STREAM/00056.m2ts' at offset '0' - the rip then failed. Now, my drive refuses to recognize any 4K UHD or regular Blu-Ray disc in MakeMKV or VLC. DVDs seem to work fine still.

I have tried uninstalling the drive and restarting my PC to reinstall the driver, I tried power cycling the drive (which is in an external powered Vantec NexStar DX2 enclosure) by unplugging the power and USB connection to the PC, but I'm not sure what else to do.

Is this drive just bricked now??

Probably a dirty or dead blue laser. Try cleaning the lasers first.
Cheers :D
