It did try to rip Fanboys yesterday (german release) and after that my Asus seems to be broken.
It did try to decrypt, but ended with no key for that disc (anyway: what could I do? It did save some dump file?)
I did try several discs now, did restart etc, but nothing did help.
Optical drives have tiny computers in them that run the firmware that controls the drive. That computer only reboots after power is removed from the drive. Sometimes, when a rip goes badly, I find that the drive is seemingly broken until it is rebooted. My drives are in powered external enclosures that make it easy to power off and power on again. On an internal drive, a warm reboot generally isn't enough. Try powering down the machine and unplugging it for a bit (30 seconds should be more than enough).

In your case, doing a firmware update forced the optical drive to reboot, which is probably what did the trick.
