I started to have this issue last evening with my drive. I was Ripping a Blu-ray Box set of Dr Who - The Jodi Whitacker years. I got all the way through to the last 2 special features Discs and now I can't get it to read the discs. I even went back and tried a disc I ripped already and it won't load that disc after I close the tray. it will spin a while and then MakeMKV says there is no disc. I have tried an audio CD and EasyAudo converter picked that up in the drive and could read it. I tried a DVD with Make MKV and it seemed to read that fine. Ive tried to restart the computer a few times too, no dice reading Blu-rays. What if anything can I do to get it to work again? Thank for any help.
I've tried some canned air to see if it could be dust on the laser lens hoping to get lucky. Well no luck there. This is what MakeMKV shows after it tries to load a BD disc.

I came across this page and think this is what my problem likely is.... The violet wave length laser my have died.

So now it looks like I have to see about replacement options. Is the LG WH14NS40 capable of reading 4k discs like the WH14NS60 was? I see it is available on amazon for about $60.
