remove all power from the drive for 5 mins then power backup and try again

It's a Asus Turbo Drive. The Drive has a Egreen label on it.

Thanks

Hallo,

sorry for jumping into this tread, but I have the same issue with my LG BH16NS55 with ASUS BW-16D1HT Firmware 3.02. After months of working flawlessly and making backups of Bluray- and UHD-Disks, the drive suddenly and unexpectedly lost its ability of reading those media. It started after I ripped a DVD successfully. Since then, only DVD are recognized and can be processed with makemkv.

My Drive Information are as follows:

Drive Information

Product: BW-16D1HT

Serial number: K97I4B85244

Firmware date: 2117-11-24 14:13

Bus encryption flags: 1F

Highest AACS version: 82


LibreDrive Information

Status: Enabled

Drive platform: MT1959

Firmware type: Original (unpatched)

Firmware version: 3.02

DVD all regions: Yes

BD raw data read: Yes

BD raw metadata read: Yes

Unrestricted read speed: Yes


Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks

I wonder if I remove it from the case, it may work again.
I think it's dead in the water.

Billycar11 do you have drives for sale.

Thanks
