Got my BenQ 1655 yesterday and installed it as a second burner. It came with Fireware BCGB, then i updated to BCHB with no issues. But if i keep any media in the Benq 1655 burner the light (green) will be always "on" even if i am not doing anything with the burner i.e even idle position. Is this normal? or did anyone experienced this. My other LG burner light will be on only if it performs read/write.
yes it's normal for the light to stay. i asked that same question when i first got my benQ 1650(in this link here) http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/3/322461
Thank you, redice. I have also noticed the Benq burner was very hot(if i touch the face plate and even dvd disk) when compared to LG burner (just 30 mts of burning). Any suggestions on this over heating ...
your welcome safari200 i'm not sure about this my benQ 1650 doesn't do this but may want check with a few other people on here that have the benQ 1655 just to make sure.
I'm guessing your 1655 is an external drive since you said it came with firewire. I would assume the heat is coming from the transformer used to power your drive and I wouldn't be concerned.
