Mkv can see the drive and recognizes it as BU40N but eject button wont open, I've tried to recover it but the dump files only shows BU40N.

Sorry I'm confused. I already used BU40N 1.03 by mistake. What you mean used as a wrong FW. I'm new to this.

The recovery option in sdf gui asks you what the wrong fw is you should be selecting bu40n 1.03
And wh16ns60 1.0x for the regular

Thank you Billy. I was repeating the same FW 16ns60 for wrong and right. After understanding what were you saying I used BU40N as wrong and 16NS60 as right. Now it is opening and I will test copying a 4k Blu-ray.

Thank you again and happy new year.
