| 1620 firmware Q I just recieved this burner: http://www.meritline.com/benq-dw-162...are-drive.html Mine doesnt have the BenQ name on the front like that one and just shows up as an Atapi burner on my computer. I guess because its just Bulk/Oem. I actually thought I was getting a retail but I was wrong. My question is what firmware should I be using? And how do I check which one is on it now? Would it be better to flash it to a 1620 pro? Thanks |

| Re: 1620 firmware Q Use DVDINFO PRO, DVD IDENTIFIER, or NERO INFO TOOL to see what firmware you have. If you have the "G" firmware then flash the drive to the "B" firmware by cross flashing the drive. Go to this site: http://dvdpro.club.st/firmware/BENQ_FW.htm to download the windows flasher and B7P9 firmware cvt.file. ____________________________________________________________________________ PLEXTOR 708A DVDRW  PIONEER 107D DVDRW LITEON 811 DVDRW BENQ 1620 DVDRW (2) TOSHIBA (2)1612 DVD-ROM PLEXTOR 48X24X48 CDRW PENT 4 HT 3.00C, 800 FSB, PENT 4 2.40 533 FSB ASUS MOBO's P4P800SE (2) 1GB CRUCIAL PC3200 MEMORY, 1GB CRUCIAL PC2700 WESTERN DIGITAL 36GB RAPTOR HARD DRIVE MAXTOR 200 GB HARD DRIVE MAXTOR (2)250 GB HARD DRIVEs MAXTOR 200 GB SATA HARD DRIVE MAXTOR (2)120 GB HARD DRIVEs MAXTOR 60 GB HARD DRIVE ANTEC TRUE POWER 480 WATT POWER SUPPLY ANTEC TRUE POWER 430 WATT POWER SUPPLY ANTEC SLK2650 CASE, ANTEC SLK2600AMB CASE CANOPUS ADVC-100 ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER MAXTOR ATA -133 PCI CONTROLLER CARDs |

| Re: 1620 firmware Q You have to use WinDWFlash Tool, download firmware B7P9.cvt. Flash the drive with this firmware, make sure there is no media in the drive, after flashing, reboot. Then use firmware B7T9. This is a *.exe file so you don't have to use the WinDWFlash tool. That's all. |

Release notes: 1. Support Ricoh DVD+R DL [RICOHJPN D00] media. 2. Modify the writing strategy for both DVD+R & DVD-R media. 3. Support CCCD media playback. But of course everyone is free to use his own favorite firmware and free to or not to crossflash. | |
