why would you want to?
to recover a key from someones bricked or fried drive.

I though about this.. And here is the easiest way to do it....
1. Beg, borrow or steal a working Benq drive of the same rev( not sure if it needs to be same rev).
2. Read the firmware and save it.
3. Desolder the flash off the broken Benq - should be easy it's only an 8 pin SPI
4. Desolder the flash off the good Benq - should be easy it's only an 8 pin SPI
5. Solder the flash off the broken one onto the good one
6. Read the firmware off that flash
7. Viola you have a dump and the key..
8. No need to swap the SPI again just flash the good benq with it's original firmware...

yea true, a little to much work there lol, but if the guy had some kind of power problem and fried the drive, this wont help.
