Hi Billy. I opened the drive and it's definitely 1959 and says manufactured in early 2014 (see pics). This was a warranty replacement from Asus so maybe they swapped a new control board into an older drive?

Also, my PC is a desktop version with Windows 10 x64.

you dont have mt1959 if you drive is 2014 you have mt1939 it now says 59 but that because you flashed it wrong.
your only chance to fix it is if your pc supports dos flash see the useful for recovery stuff here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=19634
