Get this with either one of my data BD-R's or a commercial bluray

The drive does not like the media at all. Since it happens with burnt
and commercial BDs, i would blame the drive, not the media.
(The error code [2 06 00] was issued by the drive. libburn translated it
according SCSI specs to: "Drive not ready. No reference position found".)
I'm going on the assumption that the laser
for bluray has failed while the DVD/CD laser is still functioning.
Gonna buy a new drive to test that theory,
Good plan.
Just as anecdote:
I bought an LG BH16NS40 in 2013, which seemingly lost its Blu-ray vision
in 2015. In 2019 one of my DVD burners died and i reactivated the BH16NS40
which i knew would still do DVD and CD.
Oh wonder, it turned out that the drive again recognizes, burns, and reads
BD-R and BD-RE. Two moves and 4 years on the shelf salvaged it.
My best guess is that some lint had settled on the blue beam lense.
(My best hope is that the lint isn't still roaming in the drive.)
only $55 from amazon.
We should be glad that it's not much less.
DVD burners have become so cheap that half of them are dead on arrival.
Have a nice day :)
