So it it did and not does.

I was very lucky to buy this drive for only 49.99eur brandnew.
I hate my other 43899 I bought a month ago because it often hangs nearly at the layerbreak.
Flashed LG in it…. In my opinion no equal to pioneer.

I was hoping to find a resolution on my own, but so far the only solution I have is "buy a different drive." I see you've still been helping people recently, so I hope you can find time to send me a PM as well.
