Sometimes it opens and sometimes it wouldnt. Closing with the button works most times. Opening with the manual eject hole works everytime. How could I fix this problem?

Hello,
I recently picked up a BDR-209BK. The seller had already cross-flashed it to a BDR-211M, but I am looking to flash it to an S11. Would it be possible for you to share the flasher tool and the necessary firmware?

My optical drive information is as follows:

Hello! I recently got my hands on a BDR-209DBK too. I was wondering if you could share your flasher and firmware with me? I'd really appreciate it!
