Pioneer BDR-XD05 Won't Read Discs

[Shermin3656]

I'm having issues with one of my drives. It's a Pioneer BDR-XD05 and won't read any discs. I have tried multiple blu rays and dvds but it still won't read anything. I don't even hear the discs spin and the laser try to read them. I have used both included cable, a micro b to usb A cable, and a micro b to usb-c cable. Nothing has worked so far. The drive will power on but won't read anything.

How would I go about cleaning the lasers as I'm not sure how to do that since I haven't done that before?

Clean the laser with q-tip and alcohol. Dry immediately with a lint-free soft cloth or a dry q-tip. Do it twice.

The BDR-XD05 is an USB drive, so you don't have to open the enclosure, the laser lenses you can find there like you can see in the attachment (another drive but a good example).

Thank you for that information! I will give that a shot and report on how it goes.

I finally had a chance to try this but I still can't get the drive to read any disc. The discs don't even spin in the drive. The drive powers on but no disc will spin and nothing is being read. Is the drive just a dud?

Sounds like it's dead.
