Buffalo ext drive will not open after Firmware flash

[Peabody111]

I did the Libre Drive flash on my Buffalo external drive yesterday and it said everything was successful but today when I go to use the drive nothing I do will make the drive door open . Not restarting pc not using pin hole to force eject . Any ideas?

Which firmware did you flash ? Is it a 5.25 drive or a slim drive ? Power it off immediately and, preferably, also make sure it's not plugged in. You might have flashed the wrong kind of firmware and in that case, you need to make sure the drive doesn't get any power until we recover it.
