Crossflashed 1620 to 1640, need help:)

I have ...ummm..."had" BenQ 1620 Pro, firmware B7S9.
Downloaded (.exe file from benq.com) and flashed new firmware B7W9. Everything was fine, firmware check showed this new firmware.
Than I decided to crossflash it with 1640 firmware, got it from the same site, version BSMB. Used BQ flasher with .dll in the same folder in a safe mode. Everything went ok, now firmware check shows: " ATAPI DVD DL DW1600, firmware FS02"
Did something go wrong?
Thanks,
Max

A Benq 1620 can not be crossflashed to a Benq 1640. The drive is now in safe mode and can be restored by flashing a .cvt 1620 firmware with WinDWFlash.

The thread with the BQFlasher says, that BenQ 1620 Firmware B7W9 was flashed to Phillips 1640?

Oh, maybe I needed the 1640 P3.6 .exe file to begin with...I'll try to restore.

SUCCESSFULLY flashed to Philips 1640P firmware P3.7. I downloaded the wrong firmware the first time (got 1640 from BenQ site, not 1640 from Philips)
Thank you for BQFlasher!!!

Philips 1640 is indeed a BenQ DW1620. But that doesn't mean Philips 1640 = BenQ 1640.

Philips DVDR1640 = BenQ DW1620
Philips DVDR1648 = BenQ DW1640
Philips DVDR1660 = BenQ DW1650
Philips DVDR1668 = BenQ DW1655

I will update the BQFlasher thread soon.
