| Installing BenQ 1640... HMM..... Weird: In box was the Lite-On CD-RW and Toshiba DVD-ROM...all working fine...shut down computer... Disconnected and removed Toshiba, and connected the BenQ 1640... Turned computer on...starting to boot up...showed Asus motherboard splash screen... then, NADA... black screen with cursor flashing ... What do you think? 1.) Bad BenQ1640? 2.) Should I have removed the Toshiba DVD-ROM in Device Manager first, shut off, then installed? Firmware of BenQ is "BSHB"...

| Re: Installing BenQ 1640... HMM..... I agree with DeadMan Verify that drive jumper is set correctly. Jumpers are the little things on the rear of drive, neas IDE plug. Choose the correct configuration, master or slave, and verify also a correct cable plugging. If you set burner as master, use the terminal IDE connector, whereas if you set as slave use the intermediate IDE connector on the cable. |

| Re: Installing BenQ 1640... HMM..... According 1640 manual this should be setted as slave. Try to put jumper in position 3 6 (master), and connect this drive to terminal IDE connector on the cable. Then put the other drive as slave (see on drive manual for the exact position or see indications on the drive rear) and connect to intermediate connector on IDE cable. |
