Unofficial Firmware Page/FAQ entry

A: If you have an OEM drive or a re-badge and wish to convert the drive to a retail 1620 so you can make use of the latest official firmware upgrades from BenQ you must go to the Unofficial BenQ firmware page and download WinDWFlash.exe and a corresponding firmware in .CVT form. Be absolutely certain your drive is a clone 1620 before doing so, otherwise you could end up with a dead drive. Also the TDB RPC1 firmware can be used to easily cross flash to the retail firmware.
Where is the Unofficial Firmware page and where may I acquire WinDWFlash.exe?

Re: Unofficial Firmware Page/FAQ entry

Look for Zevia's (moderator for this Benq forum) or Zebadee's signature and you'll find direct link to the WinDWFLash.exe.

The Unofficial Firmware page is long gone.

Here's a link for Zevia:

click on the WinDWFlash.exe in his signature

Re: Unofficial Firmware Page/FAQ entry

You may also use BQFLASHER instead of WinDWFlash.exe to crossflash your OEM drive. By using BQFLASHER you can use the official BENQ 1620 EXE firmwares instead of having to use the CVT firmwares with WinDWFlash.exe.

Yes the page is long gone including the 1620 firmwares.

Looks like unofficial BenQ firmware page is gone forever.

hoppy.tk is at this moment the most complete webpage for BenQ CVT firmwares. (Make sure you use IE or Firefox IE-tab.)
