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?

Nothing 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.
Please post again the Makemkv info so we can see the current status of the drive.

It's reading UHDs above but who knows what's on it after several tries he did.
