There is a multispeed version of 1.5, but I don't think c4eva has had anything to with it...

Personally i'd leave it alone if you ever want your console on live...

Hey i'm back, and after i buffed the laser with alcohol, and lubed up the rails and such of my benq the noise has reduced. I have researched this and many people have the same problems i have. The main thing is, the benq is the best original fw drive. But when you flash it and play backups, it becomes the worst. The loading time is a longer, but in the long run its a benq, use it or don't. So i have accepted this and said to myself- ill let it run and when it dies ill go out and spoof a new MS28 to BenQ.

Thanks to all who helped me answer my question

Best regards,
Backslash

one of the older hit dvd drives is the worst. not the v78 or v79 they seem fine so far.
flash or not.

if you want the easy way out. try to get another benq drive which is exactly the same model as youre one, open up the drive, remove the motherboard and swop it with the new board and reconnecting the motor and laser and such, this way you dont even need to spoof anything unless you want a different drive then its a different matter,
