Hello everyone,
I purchased this drive a few days ago and it is not reading any dics in Windows 10 or MakeMKV even with the pre-loaded original firmware 3.10.
I have been troubleshooting this issue and made the following changes so far.
# Before any modification #
- Initially came with an unpatched 3.10 firmware
- Drive appears in Windows but does not read ANY disc (BD, DVD, et.)
- No disc message in MakeMKV
# Update to 3.10 MK #
- Flashed 3.10 MK with ASUS tool https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=18933
- Drive appears in Windows but does not read ANY disc (BD, DVD, et.)
- No disc message in MakeMKV
# Downgrade to 3.02 DE #
- Flashed 3.02 DE with ASUS tool https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=18933
- Drive appears in Windows but does not read ANY disc (BD, DVD, et.)
- No disc message in MakeMKV
# Update to 3.03 MK #
- Flashed 3.03 MK with ASUS tool https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=18933
- Drive appears in Windows but does not read ANY disc
- No disc message in MakeMKV
I have downgraded again to 3.02 just in case the drive came DOA and I need to return it. Also, this is the current info displayed in MakeMKV:

- I tried to connect the drive with a SATA cable and to the power supply but the issue persisted
- I have also tried MakeMKV 1.15.1 and 1.15.3 but no luck so far.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
