When you load MakeMKV, what does it say about the drive?

Recommended Firmware to flash for MakeMKV:
BU40N > BU40N 1.03MK

Thank you for your quick response.
So you mean that I can simply flash the 1.03mk over the firmware PH07?
I'm new here.
could you briefly tell me which tool I should use for flashing?

The link Billycar11 posted is to the drives guide on this forum. In there, you'll find links to the various firmware, flashing tools, and what not. I think the SDFtool by MartyMcNuts is the preferred choice these days.

Did you notice MakeMKV writing an FW_xxxxxxxx.tgz file for this drive? Should have been created on first disc opening and placed into MakeMKV data directory. Please send this file to

So that means there was an issue with your version 14.0. :scratch
About your last issue it is the workgroup. You must set the same workgroup than this one of your laptop set with the lan setup menu
