Is my UHD LibreDrive toast?

[goestoeleven]

I have two identical UHD flashed as follows:'

Drive Information
Manufacturer: HL-DT-ST
Product: BD-RE WH16NS60
Revision: 1.00
Serial number: <redacted>
Firmware date: 2117-04-25 17:56
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 82

LibreDrive Information
Status: Enabled
Drive platform: MT1959
Firmware type: Original (unpatched)
Firmware version: 1.00
DVD all regions: Yes
BD raw data read: Yes
BD raw metadata read: Yes
Unrestricted read speed: Yes

No disc inserted


Both have been working great for 8+ months. All of a sudden, one of the drives can't seem to read anything (Blu-Ray, UHD, CD). It is picked up by the OS (Mac or Windows 11 VM), but any time I insert a disc, the drive closes, it spins for a while, and then spits the disc back out. I've ordered a lens cleaning BD disc, but I don't know if that's the issue or not.

Is this fixable?

power it off for 5 mins completely disconnected from power and usb

what usb case do you have just for my ongoing stat tracking of dead drives

lens cleaning discs are a joke return it
take it apart to clean it
eject tray

unplug drive with tray out

pop off front bezel clips on sides and bottom with plastic tool

undo screws from bottom will be under stickers if you have an s13, 213 does not have stickers.

flip backover and remove top cover

clean lasers with a lint free cloth or qtip and water or alcohol and dry with another do this 2 times and do not let it air dry you must remove the residue with a dry one!

It's a bundled OWC Mercury USB enclosure, which I've opened up to expose an LG drive: Model BH16NS40 (Mfg date of March 2025). Label says ROM VER 1.05
