unable to eject blu ray drive after flashing

[ChuckD74]

I have a dell 8946 desttop with factory installed slim blu ray drive HL-DT-ST-BD-RE, I tried to use flash tool following online direction. However, cannot eject the drive after the flash. How can I determine if I trashed the drive?

What model drive is it and what firmware did you flash to it?
What did MakeMKV show for the drive info prior to flashing it?
What is the manufacture date and SVC code of the drive?

That info is not very helpful. Try answering the questions asked!

HL-DT-ST is the make, not the model.
The manufacture date and SVC code are on the label stuck to the drive.
Did you make not of the MakeMKV drive info & liberdrive info sections BEFORE flashing the drive?

I'm asking for this info as from the description of your issue you have likely either:

1. Flashed an incompatible drive (possibly older, MT1939 drive platform)
2. Flashed a slim drive with desktop firmware or vice-versa.
