Fixed, I needed to tick the "enc?" box, all working now.

Left here for others or delete if required.

Many Thanks

Hey

Just wondering what steps you took to flash your drive? I have the same model and i'm unsure of how to find the correct MK firmware to flash. Did you just flash the one firmware from the all you need pack?

yes all you need to do is as the guide says use enc if you have 1.04 with the bu40n 1.03 from the all you need pack
