Have I bricked it?

I have a LG BP50NB40 drive running on Windows 10.
A few months ago, I flashed the firmware and had it running just fine with MakeMKV, I even did some test rips to be sure. I didn't have my NAS set up yet, so I put my drive to the side. I finally got my server online this week, so I went to update MakeMKV and start ripping my disks, and now the drive is not showing up anywhere in Windows or MakeMKV. A few weeks ago when clearing some files I uninstalled the ODD update program, which is the only change that I could possibly think to affect the drive.
Could anybody help provide me with some guidance/tips? I am glad to give more details if need be and anybody's help is greatly appreciated.
