BenQ bad flash, really don't know what to do next

Post by tom80 »

Hi guys. First let me say I'm really new to this so please don't get annoyed if I don't understand some of the basics!

I tried flashing my Benq Drive using JF 0.1.89, I have a via card. Something went wrong and now whenever I turn it on the light on the front is constantly flashing and the drive won't eject. I've tried reflashing a billion times but no change. I don't know what to do!

Any help would be really appreciated!

Hi Cofree thanks a lot for the response.

I already have the driver deleted for the via chipset so that isn't the problem :cry:

I just tried flashing again back to original firmware, made sure the original key was there, the xbox reacted the same except the light isn't blinking now. Still though the drive won't eject... I don't know what to do!

something is not right
if you have a different drive laying around try it
you would need a liteon and flash in your firmware build
hacked or a original it will not matter just get it going then start over

Load your ofw in source & lt in target. Intro the drive till it get vendor mode and continue . Might take a few intro's but it will work. Using the samsung is not gone work. Though possibe to do the drive wont play ap2.5 or xgd3 titles. Your benq is fine . It is just partially erased. As long as you have yoir ofw it can always be recovered.
