Drive Refurb

Post by nmhammer2 »

Is there any one that refurbishes or a seller that sells refurbish kits for drives?

I'm starting to get read errors in MakeMKV for blu-rays and they are making louder than usual noises. I have had them a while and redid my entire collection plus several new movies and shows.I have a BD-RE ASUS BW-14D 1XT and a BD-ROM ASUS BC-12B1ST.

I'm not aware of a refurb kit, but you could try to gently clean the laser assembly in your older drives. Over time dust and crud in the air will settle on the optics. Use a Q-Tip with isopropyl alcohol to gently clean the optics and a microfiber towel to gently dry it. Don't let it air dry. Do it twice just to be sure.
