What did you do to it??
You could try using the old ASUS flasher and flash BU40N 1.03-MK firmware. It doesn't do any checks whatsoever so should be able to flash the firmware.

im also curious what you did
but encrypted fw makes recovery much more complicated it seems
modified lg flasher can also unbrick

I was able to fix with this firmware, and now it works as expected (I bought this drive for 10 bucks)
