My good old BD-RE BU40N is now ejecting everything within a few seconds. No Error, nothing. Just a few click clacks and boom, ejected. No message on MakeMKV.
Here are the details from the drive:

How to tell if it has been bricked? It ejects 4k and BD discs.
I have another Drive. Pioneer BDR-UD04, that runs everything fine so far what the BU40N spits out.

Re: Drive suddenly ejecting everything
Pop out the tray. You should see now little glas lenses approx. 2-3 mm in diameter. Use a cotton swab and some alcohol. Wipe them dry with another cotton swab. Try the disc. There are two lenses and 2 lasers in the drive. One for CD /DVD the other for BD. If the drive still reads CDs and DVDs the laser for BDs is defective.

Any way to verify if its bricked with software?

No.
Try reading a CD and DVD. If it works the red laser is OK.
Try reading a BD. If it doesn't work the blue laser is dead.

I tried to clean it now. Inserted UHD - click click - eject.
BD Disc - same two click noises - eject
empty CD-R - same.
Don't have an DVD atm, lol. Can't test that.
doesnt sound to good right?

My ASUS died after a year.
Pioneer UD04 are still good for UHDs but asmcom reported issues with dBpoweramp with CDs with the newest revision.

Yep, if you manage to get 1 year out of a drive (that isn't Pioneer) these days, you are doing well.D3F3ND3R16 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 9:29 pmis that normal that they last that short? its not even 4 years old, maybe copied around 1-200 discs.
luckily I have another drive atm. BD-RW BDR-UD04.
Should I get just a second one then? are they still delivered with an good FW?
Cheers
