i've taken a look at it.
Looks very clear! With pics of all screens and steps so if every n00b READS this tut, i think they'll manage to flash the benq!
good work!

Absolutely amazing tutorial, you have instilled the confidence in me to do my very first flash. Thank you very much.

Followed the instuctions and it was a success!!

I used a Nvidia MCP61 Serial ATA Controller for anyone who's interested and a usb pendrive.

I followed this nice guide..having trouble though..i think..

It seemed to Read in DOS perfect..rebooted, made the iXtreme FW from the orig.bin, copied that to my DOS boot disc...rebooted and did the command for erasing, worked fine, rebooted both systems and did the command for writing the new benq-ix FW to the benQ..once again, seemed to work fine! i shut down and reconnecting the drive to the xbox SATA, and booted it.
I ran an original game first, worked fine..then tried both of my backups I have burned to DVD+R DLs, which are Gears of War and BioShock. The drive just kept trying to read Gears of War forever, making the oddest noises, I had to eject it, it sounded a little crazy. Then BioShock took a little bit to load and eventually just said it was a Mixed Media Disc and couldn't do anything with it on the Xbox, so ejected that. What happened? It had to have flashed cause I did everything right and it all worked with no errors, and it still plays my originals. I believe the backups I have are patched correctly but not sure, how can I find out if they are patched while they are in burned disc form like this? I don't really know how else to test this as I have no other backups right now. Any ideas? Thanks a lot guys

-I used my Dell Dimension 2350
-SY-VIA-150 SATA PCI card from Newegg.com
-Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV/E processor on the motherboard (don't know what ICH it is?)
-Loaded provided Drivers for the SATA card that it came with and disabled the SCSI/RAID Host Controller On-board even though it has no Sata on-board.

Any help, I'm desperate, I've read all tuts and all posts EVERYWHERE and searched too..no idea anymore. I can send my orig and iX FWs if anyone needs it to try and help me. Thank you again

1. Can i flash the benq drive without any via or nforce chipset?
2. I have the intel ich5 chipset can i do the flash procedure with success??
3. Every time i want to flash the benq must first erase the old hacked firmware and write the newone or it can be made with some other way?
A lot of thangs.

@ just4747
What brand of media are you using?
If its anything other that Verbatim then that may be the source of your problem, seeing as its reading originals fine, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the laser.

They are HP DVD+R DLs 2.4x speed, which haven't let me down before for other purposes..and I have Xbox 1 backups on all different kinds of media, never had a problem with a brand...

Give it a go and find out. It probably WONT work though. There hasn't been tests done on every chipset. Let us know of your results. I read in another post that some one said it isn't possible though.

the questions are answered by Iriez already!

1. NO (not without soldering that is
2. same as 1
3. create new hacked with old original bin, then erase the benq and flash the new created one
and it's thanKs
