Hi,
My BenQ 1620 B7V9 (not hacked) starts to show regular drops in read speed during PI/PIF tests.
a) Fuji DVD+R 8X (YUDEN000 T02) @12X WOPC ON (6mn45s after QScan 1.1)
Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.14
Note the reading speed drops in green…
b) Maxell DVD+R 4X burned @8X WOPC OFF.
Nero Burning ROM 6.6.0.14
Note the reading speed drops in green again…
Also, I have very low quality issue with 12X WOPC off on many good media (MCC 003, YUDEN T02, TG02…). Enormous PI spikes @2 Gb and big PIF spikes. In the first days, all was good or better, if I remember well…
What can be the cause of this ?
I run XP SP2 and my BenQ is in master secondary, with a slave Toshiba DVD-ROM. Everything is in UDMA 5 (HDD) and UDMA 2 (DVD drives).
Got a 60Gb hard drive, with no errors at the moment…
I’m thinking to :
1/ take off my Toshiba slave device.
2/ uninstall IDE channels and reboot
3/ flash again. My BenQ 1620 was originaly in B7U9, and I flash with official B7V9 from BenQ site with no hack.
I read some stories about flashing back to B7T9 and then B7V9…
But ?
4/ Buy a news hard drive, a new power supply, a new case or a LG ?
Not my wish…
