Before I ask my question, I would like to say I really like this site everyone is a big help and very knowledgable. At the beginnig of this year when I wanted to upgrade my burner I came here for direction and ended up buying a BenQ dw1650 and a liteon 167d rom and upgraded my dvd's to nothing but Taiyo Yuden. I love the benq burner and suggested it to a friend when I went to buy one for her(and a back up for me) I could not find them so I came here for answers. After reading some forums and how hard they are to find I read they sold them at CompUSA I went to the store. Didn't have any and then I remembered something about a rebadge. None of the boxes for the Comp USA brand were taped shut so I opened one up and it was a Benq dw 1650, I bought three.

If your still with me, my question(s) is this, is the compusa 1650 the same as the orginal that I bought? Do I have to change the firmware so they work the same? I'm not sure what firmware is, just something that I read here. I've never messed with the firmware for the burner I have now or updated it. Thanks for reading.

How would I find that out is it on the driver or do I have to hook it up to find out? I got one disc with it that says Nero express OEM sueite.
