Verbatim 43890 External Slimline Mobile USB 3.2 Blu-ray Writer UHD Problem

Just had this delivered, it reads BluRay's no problem but when I insert any UHD Discs it does not read them, it just says "No Disc Inserted". I was using an Asus 5.25 internal drive until it decided to completely shred a UHD copy of Dunkirk on me. The UHD's I tested, Arrival and Blade Runner have already been ripped with the Asus drive before it went doolally.
Here's the MKV Info for the drive in question.

The 43890 (BDR-UD03) is a blu-ray drive, not a UHD drive. The 43888 is the UHD model (containing a BDR-UD04)

Ah understood, so there's no way to get this drive to read UHD Discs never mind decrypt them. I think I'll send it back and order one of the recommended ones from your site.

You can email me for a automated flasher to this drive to make it read UHD discs

@ Billcar11,
i have just bought the same drive. Then i found this website, so you are saying this drive can be flashed to read UHD discs. If this is the case can you help.
TIA

Hi,
I've a 43890 and the original Verbatim firmware flasher for the 43888 1.14. Originaly I wanted to reflash my 43888 cause of the BD-read freeze error but my mind goes on....
Is there any way to get the 43890 flashed with it? By execute an error occurs that the target is not found.

Hey guys, same problem here - I have bought recently Verbatim 43890 (BD-RW BDR-UD03 / FW: BDR-US03 1.14)
Is it possible to make it work with UHDs?
