Hello guys,
I've got some weird problems, I think that these 2 drives are dead.
The first drive is a BenQ DW1800, I crossflashed it a while ago to 20A4P 9P57 firmware, and it was working fine until I updated the firmware to 9P57 and tried to burn a disc at 20X speed, after that it's dead.
Here is the log from the last attempted burn (I restored the original EPPROM and reverted back to the original firmware):

Also both these takes a very long time to recognize the discs.
So are they dead, should I throw them both in the trash or is there something that can be done?
Thanks in advance.
