Asus 16D1HT problem
Posted: Fri Sep 30, 2022 6:01 pm
Hello to everyone,
I have an Asus BW-16D1HT. I never touched its original firmware (3.00), because I never had the need to do it. In fact, it was able to read/rip UHD discs too.
A few weeks ago, it started to refuse reading ANY bluray disc. And I really mean every bluray disc. It could be a single layer, a dual layer, a 100GB (quad? layer), writable, rewritable, a commercial FullHD bluray, a commercial UHD bluray. Whichever bluray disc you insert on it, it always says "no disc". On the other side, it has no problem with DVDs or CDs. It seems that it is no longer able to switch from red ray to blu ray.
In order to solve this problem, I tried to flash it with a newer firmware, hoping it was a firmware issue. I chose the official 3.02 byte patched and I flashed it with SDFtool Flasher. Flashing was flawless and it now has the 3.02 firmware. But the problem has NOT been solved. I am really afraid it is kind of a hardware issue. I could flash it with even newer firmware, such as 3.10, but I am afraid that would be of no use at all.
It seems like it is "locked" or "is sticking" to red wavelenght. Can someone help me fix it?
Please help me.
