Pioneer BDR-S13UBK Stopped Working

Post by creator »

Hey everyone. Last night my Pioneer drive stopped ripping blu-rays. Directly before it stopped working, I upgraded to Windows 11 and to MakeMKV 1.18.2. Before I updated, the highest AACS version was 82, but that wasn't either of the most recent disks (the last working disk was 36 and the first non-working disk was 50). Anyone have any insight on what might be causing this issue?

... which eventually, gives

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, rebooting does not resolve the issue. I'm not sure if these messages are helpful, but this is what appears when MakeMKV is Scanning CD-ROM devices:

Eventually the disk shows up. But then the errors from my original post appear during the Decrypting phase.

Have you had any luck here? My BDR-S13U has also stopped working and is giving the following errors.

When first booting up, multiple lines of this:

Code: Select all

DEBUG: Code 4279394306 at jQZW11fA"<#iHILp2:121264878
When attempting to access a blu ray:

Code: Select all

Error 'Scsi error - HARDWARE ERROR:INTERNAL TARGET FAILURE' occurred while issuing SCSI command A30..00200740100720..0C5B80A48CD82035D5163B1B1B530AE1429 to device 'IoKit:/IOBDServices/0C9E1063'

I've installed the latest SDF.bin (I'm on a Mac), I've rebooted, power cycled, etc. and cannot get any blu rays to open properly anymore. This drive was purchased just this summer and was working great up until a couple months ago when it suddenly started throwing these errors (it's in the MercuryPro enclosure recommended by Billy as well).

In case it's useful, here's the drive information:
