BenQ problem: Drive keeps toggling between 0x51 & 0D1

[pablomeka]

hey, i'm wondering if anyone can help me with a BenQ problem... i've got the new firmware and everything loaded through iPrep.
I power the xbox on the 1st time and it toggles between 0x51 & 0xD1, turn it off and it stops at 0XD1.. everything good so far...

then when i go to turn it on for the third time, it goes back to toggling, and never reaches 0x73 or reads..
i've tried it with 2 different xboxes and am using a VIA pci card.

no problem but
pablomeka you should have started just one tread.

if you have not tried a floppy then try that

the card has to be a via6421 pci card.
if you know your card will work then i would say try a different computer

The 79's are a different animal...

None of the commands used for flashing the 79 are there, they have been removed from previous versions... This means you need to install a Passkey (which has all these commands) to one of the chips on the drive. Just beware though, this doesn't look that easy.

If I was him, I would take it back and go buy one from a different store. Try to get one with a benq drive in it. The 79 is a bitch to flash, and I don't think anyone on this site has much experience with it. From what I understand you have to have a passkey installed which requires some very small soldering.
