Struggling with a new to me WH16NS60, thought I had reached a good place, and turns out I'm fully stalled.
Seemingly any Blu-ray I insert results in my drive reporting "no disc inserted". I've tested a single CD, the Cyberpower one that came with the drive, and DVD (Tron Legacy) and they both read fine.
MakeMKV reports the following:

I appreciate any help, I've gone through a few of the forum threads, including the fantastic guidance from Billy, and the thread with seeming the same issue from a few days ago, but despite that I've been left a bit confused.
Am I right in thinking this is a case to just return the drive based on an issue with the laser? Is there a different firmware I should try first? This drive came patched, so I can't attest to issues in that process.
No Disk Error
Re: No Disk Error
Firmware most likely won't solve your problem.
Blu-rays use a different laser than CDs and DVDs. If CDs and DVDs work but blu-rays don't, that's a classic sign that the laser for blu-rays is bad.
If your drive is still in its return window or under warranty, I'd return it.
