ah right, that explains it... id have blamed the usb cable or port power and wasted a whole evening swapping leads (did the same chasing a dodgy earth on the Defender, proper rabbit hole). so if you pause between scanning the disc and starting the rip its basically a coin toss on the stock firmware? definately going for the wh16ns60 then, cheers mate 👍

Ok, I see. But then if you take the disc out and insert it again, everything is working as normal unless you leave it 2 min idle right?

Just asking, because I have read that the then there might be problems to burn discs with the drive if I flash the wh16ns60 firmware because it belongs to the LG drive instead of ASUS one, right?

Yes after eject it's fine again for 2 mins long as you get the rips going before it goes idle again
