Problem reading from benq

[BM]

I am having problems reading from my benq. I get to the bit where the code is a steady D1 and the console off. I turn it back on but instead of reading the code goes back to D1/51. Ive tried the command with a 0 and a 1 at the end but that didnt make any difference. I am using an onboard sata card.

Other than buying a PCI card, anyone got any suggestions?

trying moving to the bottom pci slot, i had a different error when i got to the point of switching the 360 on and this solved it for me

Is it still only Nforce + VIA that's supported for these? I've only got SiS (various models) and ALi chipsets in my machines/pci cards so am i out of luck for flashing a BenQ atm?

just type in dosflash at the prompt to make sure youve selected the correct port ie: e800 etc. the first port that comes up usually is the one i use.

also try starting with the 360 on instead of turned off.

yeah made sure it was right port, didnt make any diff, just hung there, think it must be a chipset thing, i'll order a VIA card and see if i get any joym only £10 at *** anyway.

Thanks mate

I ended up getting a separate card and it worked first time and was very easy
