Hi,
I purchased the above 'friendly' drive a while back. I did a first test using on of my 4K discs. Drive refused to read. I then followed TeddyRaspin's procedures to 'downgrade' the firmware to a 4K friendly version. It was a bit hairy, but I got there OK. I tried ripping a couple of my 4K discs, and it worked just fine.
However a week ago I tried to rip another disc and this time the rip finished but there was an error log at the bottom of the MakeMKV screen with a hyperlink to the MakeMKV website for more information. The issue detail was about hash check errors and it implied that getting this error usually meant a failing Blu-Ray drive. I tried it again with a different disk today - same issue.
So, have I purchased my drive, flashed it only to have it work on 2 disks before it's finally died? Any thoughts? Let me know if there's more information I can provide.
Thanks
