Looks like that motherboard has the nForce 630i chipset so it may work. Some nForce work and some don't. The only way to truly know is to try and read the firmware. Unless a 630i user can come along and confirm it for you. There is no harm in attempting to read the firmware.

I would recommend getting Jungle Flasher v0.1.62 up and running on your computer. It requires PortIO to be installed along with .Net framework 2.0 or higher. PortIO is included with JF, just run the .exe.

I wrote a Stock BenQ tutorial. You can check it out HERE.

No problem. :)

I'll be here if you need any help along the way.

Edit- Since you are using the nForce chipset, you won't have to worry about removing the VIA driver. Also, when you read your firmware, make sure you have a good key (not a bunch of 00000s or 777777s). It should be random (0-9 and A-F).

You have to get a probe in order to extract the key. After that point, it is all software.
