No, there is already a solution, have a look here.

Strangely enough this Staples bought drive, clearly labeled BenQ DW1655, has firmware GCGB and not the expected B-series (BCDB, BCGB or BCHB).

The OEM drives often have G-series firmwares, so this is not really strange.

Hi

Welcome to the forum.

Take a look here. The G*** series f/w is for third parties like I/OMagic. You'll be able to BQFlasher & official .exe f/w if you wish.

Thanks ala42 and zebadee. Thought I was pretty good at searching posts but missed entirely BQ Flasher thread. Works wonderful!

DimeDeviL · 11-08-2006

Hi Ala42,

I just wondering have you found out why Sony 2x cant be swapped? thank you

Blodulv · 05-09-2006

when i load BCIC for 1650 into media code speed edit, it only lists 1 item:
PHILIPS RW8-003
is there something wrong here or...?

What's wrong is, ala42 has not had time
to rewrite the program to work with this
new firmware. When he does he'll post
it in this thread.

You should be thankful for his great work and his wonderful tool!
Thanks ala!

*CyberMan969* · 05-09-2006

Patience Nekrosoft, I know how you feel, I can't wait either, but Pianoman is right, ala will do it when he can. He doesn't earn a living from his program, he does it for all of us, so lets all chill and wait until the man is ready!

*ala42* · 05-09-2006

The problem with the new 1655 firmware is that the code and media table grew in size. The free space inside the firmware binary needed to unpack the compressed media table to make it patch friendly is too small, so I have to change the used mechanism somehow. This takes some time I do not have during the week.

Joca · 05-09-2006

Thanks ala!

Any chance a copy of this G*** firmware is available someplace?

Anyone with a 1655 drive brave enough to test the new mechanism ? Drop me a PM. I have to warn you, this could kill your drive, so only respond if you can stand a potential loss.

Joca · 09-09-2006

I will test the new mechanism.

Already saw that - damn!

What's so difficult with this f/w?
Why does BCIB work, and BCIC not?

I'm just curious..

(And I need my BenQ 1655 for ripping

)

EDIT: Nevertheless - THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS!

BCIC is smaller, so the expanded media table fits.

pejakm · 10-09-2006

Yeah, I was early with joy, didn't see BCIB wasn't supported.
Thanks ala anyway!

*Chuck44* · 10-09-2006

Hi ala42,
Am I doing something wrong, or does your great program
not work with the Test firmware for the LiteOn 160P6S?

**zevia** · 10-09-2006

Thank you ala42 for the support, also to Zachzi. Also thanks and condolence for those whom drives got killed.
