Weird.
The BU40N has not the same power issue like the Pioneer BDR-UD03 / UD04. Which USB port do you use?
I don't know about another flashing related solution. Perhaps Marty can help.
The MakeMKV drive information before the first flash could be useful. But you've made no copy of the origin screen, I assume?
Is my Verbatim 43888 flashable

Please post again the Makemkv info so we can see the current status of the drive.reinerzufall wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2026 9:20 amNothing really helps,
I can't reflash the drive anymore. At least it still reads regular Blu-rays, so it's not completely dead yet.
Is it possible that the drive is having problems because it's not getting enough power via USB?
Then regular Blu-rays would probably have the same problems, right?
I'm at a loss, I'll probably have to return it, it's only 3 days old.
Unfortunately, you can't tell from the outside which drive you're getting.
