Pioneer BDR-UD03/UD04 has reading problems with a specific Blu-ray

[johannu]

Hallo,

I have a Pioneer BDR-UD03 drive, that is crossflashed to BDR-UD04. Firmware: 1.14. MFD: 2015

This drive has a strange issue. It works fine with all my BDs und UHD BDs, but I have a quite new BD that this drive only now and then can read. I have two newer Pioneer BDR-UD03 also crossflashed to BDR-UD04, same firmware. These two drives can read this BD without problems.

I have already cleaned the lense with alcohol. I have tried different external cases. I have tried the drive internal. No success. This drive can't read the one BD steadily.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Unfortunately this sounds like a dying laser.
