as long as you have a good dump and you should have two files in the backup folder, named as benq.cfw and ofw. make sure you backup the firmwares in a safe place. you use toolbox here:

viewtopic.php?f=112&t=166" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

for wieving your drive key if thats what you after. if you want to rewrite your drive with a new spare benq then you just copy the key from the old drives firmware and replace it into the new drives firmware. theres more to it but if you do try it you can ask us beforehand

Yes, the original & hacked firmware are on the usb drive, & both contain your key.
The files are located in > Backups/xxxxxxx/xxxxx (x being the numbers used when dumping drive)
  • BENQ-OFW.BIN
    BENQ-CFW.BIN
open the backed up firmware in "firmware toolbox" - this will display the key ;)

PS. you really should do this after dumping / before flashing - to validate your dump.
