I think you can try firmware BU40N 1.00 or BP55EB40 1.00.

But please wait until another statement for your situation, I could be wrong.

Is there a way to backup the current firmware I have? I mainly use the Blu-ray drive to backup my 3D blurays for watching on my tv and in VR. Most discs have worked flawlessly except a couple of Disney discs (Brave and Cars).

Thanks again!

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH this drive. The MT1959 firmware is too old. Only drives from 2015 are supported and yours is from 2014.
