Question about Benq ew162I

[NightRanger]

Hi a couple of days ago i was trying to connect one of my plextor externally via usb2ide cable but it didn't work
i tried my ew164 box and it didn't work too, so i would like to try the ew162I box cause i have one not working somewhere (it reads and write cdr&dvdr but it can't scan so it was kinda useless for me).
do you think it would work or i am wasting my time?


Anyway, the problem is.. how can i disassemble that case? is that possible? i unscrewed from under the case but it doesnt seem to be enough, what am i missing?


GoogleTranslated: Cześć, kilka dni temu próbowałem podłączyć zewnętrznie jedną z moich starych nagrywarek Plextor (2410, 4012, 4824) przez kabel USB2IDE, ale nie działało.
Spróbowałem z Benq EW164 i też nie działał, więc chciałbym wypróbować EW162I, ponieważ mam gdzieś taki, który nie działa (czyta, ale nie skanuje, więc jest trochę bezużyteczny).
Myślicie, że nagrywarka Plextor CD-RW w obudowie Benq 162i zadziała, czy tracę czas?


W każdym razie problem jest taki... jak mogę zdemontować tę obudowę? Czy to możliwe? Odkręciłem od spodu obudowy, ale to chyba nie wystarczy. Czego mi brakuje? Czy ktoś może pomóc?

The limitation is the chip inside the IDE adapter, PlexTools can only fully work with some of them.

i think that in ew164 case it wasn't recognized at all, so i would have liked to try the ew162I external case

but the question is, how can i disassemble ew162I case to fit plextor in?


google-translated: Myślę, w przypadku ew164 nie został on w ogóle rozpoznany, więc chciałbym wypróbować zewnętrzną obudowę ew162I, ale pytanie brzmi, jak mogę zdemontować obudowę ew162I, aby zmieścił się w niej Plextor?

In my case, many older Plextor models are not detected in many IDE-USB adapters and IDE-USB enclosures that I have, or they do not work properly, or not all functions in PlexTool XL work.

yeah it's my case too. tried different adapters and enclosures with different old plextors cdrw but they don't work. best chance would be to try an old "true" external plextor (like 2410TU or 4012TU ) but i don't own any of them.

anyway, do you know if benq ew162i external case chipset is different from ew164 and how to disassemble it? (i had no problem taking off ew164 drive and change it, but i wasn't able to open ew162i )
if it's the same chipset i won't even try cause ew164 doesn't work with my plextors
