Btc Bce-4816im--> Bce-5224im ? - Club CDFreaks

Aboo · 30-12-2002

Gentlemen, has anybody tried this overclock? Firmware for both these drives can be found at http://www.btcusa.com/cdrw.html
There are two flashers on www.btcusa.com : one of them is for BCE 4816IM, the other is for 5224IM. Both flashers extract to temp directory, they extract 4 files - three of them are for flasher itself, and the 4-th is .hex file with firmware. Both flashers check the drive model, but allow to select a .bin or .hex file with firmware. So it is not a problem to start a flasher for BTC 4816 and choose a file with firmware for BTC 5224. The trouble is: when i decided to overclock my drive, i wanted to check flash programs first. So i started flasher for BTC 4816IM first, and tried to update it with firmware for this drive. I wanted not to overclock, but to update my BTC 4816IM with a new firmware for it. So i chose a 4816.hex file, and started flashing. Flasher reported "Erasing..." and then "Updating...". My computer started to lag, and a few seconds after the first rectangle appeared in a progress bar, it showed blue screen of death with some kind of "program stack error". After i pressed reset button the drive was totally dead - even the eject button didn't work. I have a WinXP SP1, and that was for the first time i saw a WinXP BSOD. So i didnt have a chance to overclock my BTC since it is dead. maybe CDRInfo staff will be more successfull - i am not sure, if it is a flasher-killer or my buggy WinXP

the 4816 uses MT1508E & not the MT1518E chipset so 52x24x cdrw is no going to be possible on the 4816

AFAIK TEAC 548E drive also uses Mikrotek chips. Can TEAC 548E be flashed to TEAC 552E, or TEAC also uses MT1518E chip in 552E?

Is the TEAC 552E even out yet?

teac 548E is an asus crw4816a which also uses the MT1508E so no 52x here also.

Aboo have you got the old firmware for the 4816IM ? Can you send it to me at baronz999@tiscali.it ?

*dhc014* · 06-01-2003

Thanks i got the old firmware, however BTC europe write me back and told me the final firmware is the 482s, in fact it works really good.

Has anyone had any luck changing the firmware on a BTC BCE4012IM. What chipset does this burner use. I would like to try the 48X or 52X firmware but are unsure if they are compatabile. Please help as this burner will only burn 16X on some media type marked 40X.

Haven't you got any problems with flash process? - my drive died when i was flashing it. What OS are you using? Have you unloaded any resident programs before flashing?
What flash utility were you using? Were you using MTKFLASH, or BTC's utility?
