Hi, and welcome to the LiteOn forum…
1/ This actually isn’t an easy question. The burner hanging could be the result of a multitude of problems, from software malfuction, system misconfiguration, drive malfunction… the first two are most likely. But unless more information is provided, it’s hard to narrow anything down.
2/ The best way to make the drive region-free is to use the LtnRPC tool found in the tools sticky at the top of the forum.
3/ Personally, it’s not that great of a burner as-is (because the original UYS1 firmware is ancient). But with the right firmware (try the US0N firmware; download it from my page, which is linked to from my signature), it can become a better drive.
