I recentlky purchased a Blu-ray that refueses to read in my PC. It plays fine on my player. The disc is Eegah Special Edition

Interestingly enough, I looked at the reviews on Amazon (after I had already bought it of course) and saw another person who had bought it, couldn't get it to recognize on his computer, returned it and got a reaplacement, and the replacement won't play either.

The disk says 4k remaster, but doesn't give any indication that it is a 4k disk and not a normal blu-ray, at any case, I think my patched LG should read it (although I don't own any 4k discs to test). Windows refuses to read the disk, if you click on the drive it says no disc inserted and ejects the tray.

Is it possible that they can make a disc that is simply unreadable on a PC, or do you think it is something with my drive? I have tried on two different drives, although they were both the same model. The first one had the stock firmware on it and the second is patched.

Clean the disc with a damp lint free microfiber cloth and dry with another

Thank you for your reply, however I did see in the pinned thread "If you're experiencing rip errors, please read here first!" that even brand new discs can have residue on them and I tried cleaning it, it didn't make a difference. Sorry I forgot to mention that. I scanned back through the thread to make sure I hadn't missed any other tips.

I saw other people mentioning having 2 different drive models, that sometimes they would work on one and not the other. I'm not adverse to buying another drive. I do like to rip all the Blu-rays I purchase so I can play them on my Plex server (switching inputs and fiddling with an extra remote and navigating menus and dealing with forced trailers and such is too annyoing lol), so an extra drive in case of issues wouldn't be bad. Plus, it is almost a quest now. Can they really make a disc that is totally unreadable on a PC?

I also didn't post my log, it doesn't look like it has anything of use in it, but I don't really know what I'm looking at so it very well might.

This is not something they currently do on bluray or UHD
Pcs can officially play blu-ray so they can't make it impossible to read lilly your drive is just not very good I stopped selling those desktop LG/Asus drives back in like 2020 to high of a defect rate.

If you go for a second drive go for a pioneer for the UHD guide list or buy one of mine
