    hi,
    I bought a hp 630i and after updating "its" firmware, i couldnt burn the spindle of dvd+rs I had already, (from the other hp dvdrw drive i upgraded from. ??)
    So after looking on numerous forums I fouund out that my new drive is really a benq 1620. So I flashed it with the 2nd newest firmware for that benq model and it now shows up as a benq 1620 in windows and in other tests (nero, dvdinfo pro etc).
    NOTE I did reflash it to the newest firmware for the benq models (b7S9).
    Anyway, it DID burn a back-up dvd movie (Im using dvd xcopy express BTW) BUT the it WILL NOT read the movie, it only WROTE IT!! it just seems like theres a blank in the drive now, BUT my other dvd-rom will play it. What the heck?
    But it does seem OK burning with a couple of other brands of media.
    Im just nervous cause the first brand of dvd+rs I tried failed so , you know first impressions, should I switch it? The quicky media is e3works brand (I THINK its +R, not -R) and i cant any help at the other forums a or anyone who has this drive and similar issues. HELP!!
    BTW, is a benq 1620 retail exactly the same as a HP 630i?

    this is the first time i've heard that a HP dvd burner is a rebadged BENQ drive. i would suggest you check out the BENQ FORUM at cdfreaks.com
    http://club.cdfreaks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=92

    post your question at the BENQ FORUM, there are lots of peeps that can help you out. i just got a I/O MAGIC burner that is a rebadged BENQ drive, on the drive itself it does say BENQ 1620.
