Crossflashing Philips DVD8801 to BenQ DW1650
| BenQ / Philips Writer Discuss, Crossflashing Philips DVD8801 to BenQ DW1650 at CD and DVD Writers forum; I am about to attempt to crossflash a Philips DVD8801 drive to BenQ DW1650, probably with the BCHC firmware that was just released. I had previously succeeded in crossflashing a few Philips DVD8xxx drives (OEM only?) to BenQ counterparts, but I am currently not 100% sure the DVD8801 hardware matches |

| I am about to attempt to crossflash a Philips DVD8801 drive to BenQ DW1650, probably with the BCHC firmware that was just released. I had previously succeeded in crossflashing a few Philips DVD8xxx drives (OEM only?) to BenQ counterparts, but I am currently not 100% sure the DVD8801 hardware matches that of BenQ DW1650, though I believe this is more likely compared to, say, DW1640. Here's my logic: DVD8601 --> DW1620 OK DVD8651 --> DW1625 OK (Lightscribe) DVD8851 --> DW1655 OK (Lightscribe) DVD8801 --> DW1650 ?? Hopefully my next post will be good news of success.  |

| Success!  All QSuite 2.1 features are enabled with the crossflashed DW1650.Updating my crossflashing list: DVD8601 --> DW1620 (B7W9) OK DVD8651 --> DW1625 (BBIA) OK (Lightscribe) DVD8851 --> DW1655 (BCDB) OK (Lightscribe) DVD8801 --> DW1650 (BCHC) OK Many thanks to Quikee for making all this crossflashing possible with BQFlasher!  |

Hi, I would like to attempt this too. Now for the noob q's. Is bqflasher used with one of the Dangerous Brothers DW1650 files? If so, what's the difference between BCDC, BCFC, and BCHC? And if so, what's the command line? If not so , then should the BCDC.zip or BCHC.zip from Benq's site be used? Is your 8801 the loudest dvd/cd device you ever heard? The thing puts out decibels and sounds like a leaf blower. p.s. Fully aware of the potential of screwing up the drive. |

| The only way I could tell my friends Philips was a BenQ rebadge is because it had "Solid Burn" enblazoned on the front, which is BenQ technology. We only find out which is which thank to the work of those that try it and see, I am not sure there is any physical identifiers. You could try using QSuite, if it isn't a BenQ drive it won't recognise it and so won't show the tools avaialble to use with it. |

 And it doesn't need QSuite to be enabled, because on Philips drives/firmwares it's enabled by default for both know and unknown media. |

| 1650 Doesn't support DVD-RAM, either reading or writing. You must be thinking of the Panasonic based 1670.

| Guys, here in the noth of Europe this drive was advertized as a Liteon DW1650-488. Note the name...Lite-On, heh.  My drive had L01 firmware before crossflash. Thanks.  (no means to back-up the firmware though.)BTW, don't think we here in Europe ever heard of "17" and "95" drives. But we got the "DVD8801" first anyway... |
