This is a LG BU40N. Simply use SDFTool Flasher and flash it to BU40N 1.03-MK. You can leave it at that or then flash it to BU40N 1.00 for wider software compatibility, if you use ripping software other than MakeMKV.

Can anyone let me know what I need to do for this so that it can be used for UHD discs? Looks like the firmware is before the encryption, but I still can't read UHD discs. - Thanks!

Thank you so much

How do I get this drive to work with MakeMKV. LibreDrive status states "Possible, not yet enabled." Cheers.

sorry to new return it
see below if you want a pioneer with old fw

[tranquilitybase]

Sorry I don't know what that means. I'm new to this. MakeMKV created a file and told me to send support@makemkv.com which I did.

I have a couple of older drives. The one I've been using and works very well is an ASUS SBW-06D2X-U. It wouldn't read the 4k discs though so I bought this Pioneer one, but it doesn't work with MakeMKV apparently. I'll see if I can return it.
