BDROM compatibilty

[Xtrips]

Hello,

I replaced my original BDROM with a new one, a Matshita BD-MLT UJ272Q.
My Vaio is a VPCSA290x and I run Windows 10 x64 version 1903.

Although the drive is recognized no media can be read. As soon as I insert a media it starts to spin endlessly and reading files is not possible.

At best I can read the directory and content under File Explorer, but it hangs rather quickly. The only way to stop the whole computer from hanging is to use the pinhole on the drive to extract the media.
I found a few articles on the net commenting on this exact problem but the solutions offered, mainly involving regedit, didn't yield results.

Any idea

Delete the device from DevMgr. Sounds like the filters are messing you up. It should reinstall. Presumably the old one was not the same make and model.

I suppose it's possible that you don't have enough power; may be that blu ray takes more for some reason. I've never had that problem. Usually it comes down to DVD/Bluray region, which is a knotty one. However you should be able to read the whole disk as data, just not decrypt it to watch movies.

Did you try setting the region?

You don't say what media. THAT will make a huge difference. There are three different lasers (CD, DVD and Bluray), and one of them may be busted.

Finally, I've said this a thousand times, this forum does not contain a bunch of folks with any practical experience of Vaio whatsoever. That sadly includes myself, so  I am answering this on a one-time basis as a PC person. Good luck!
