Hi.
Everytime I try to put a disc into my drive, the disc just spins a bunch and then the drive just spits it out. I've tried several blu-rays and DVDs and the result is the same. I've also tried on both Windows and MacOS with the same result.
Does anyone know if this a typical issue, and how to fix it?

The enclosure of these drives is very power hungry. Try a USB-C port on the mainboard or a powered USB hub.Vinterbird wrote: ↑Tue Sep 23, 2025 1:46 pmHi.

Also - clean the laser lens with a cotton swab and alcohol.

Nothing. And don't post the same question in multiple threads.
Cheers
