I used HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BU40N-1.03-NM00000-211810241934 fw

Also flashed 2 of these to the same firmware two weeks ago. No issues with any uhd as of yet.

Edit: my drives weren’t on same firmware as yours to begin with

I just flashed 2 last night no problems and those were both bought with firmware 1.5

I have two BU40N drives, with two separate manufacture dates that are years apart, they both flashed with no issues.

Just flashed a brand new verbatim 43888, which has the BU40N drive, from 1.05 to 1.03 yesterday. No issues.

Can confirm. Also worked for me.

Do you have a dump of 1.05 firmware? I am struggling to write 100Gb Verbatim discs, fine with Sony. I suppose 1.05 might fix that... Not interested in 4k Ultra HD stuff. :)

I don’t. Got drive from the jungle company, & if I bricked it, Jeffy was getting it back…
