will try hot air gun, is it most likely dry joints on the graphics chip then? Thats why bad graphics coming and going.

thanks

used a hairdryer for a bit.
should i be concentrating just on the chip under the heatsink or some sites show guys putting a roll of coins on a different chip altogether.
cheers

Hi folks, Got a 360 which had an E74 error which i applied the X clamp fix using 2 washers per side, seemed to fix fault for a while, then got some bad graphics and later e74 error so i redone xclamp fix with 2 washers one side and 1 washer the other side, worked for a while again, now getting bad g...

[quote="MsK"]just a thought // are u sure the drive is benq not a lite-on (as the trays look the same) ?[/quote

just checked:

you can try it, it won't do harm if you're only trying to get a dump... make sure you are using the port that you set iprep to use (try all the different ports on the card) 0xff simply means no connection.... have you tried another drive off the VIA card (HDD or PC DVD Writer??). The first one I or...

the benq is slightly different... you need to boot iprep, then power the drive. When it asks you to resend the command, power the drive off, then resend the command. Turn the drive back on after 3-5 seconds, you should get D1 and the dump should start... What are you trying to flash on??? With my n...

ok, just tried this booted up on iprep, when prompt came up, i hooked up sata cable and powered 360. pressed yes to continue typed dben 1234567 12345 enter when it asked to make sure drive off, i switched it off then pressed yes the drive is now off and it asked me to press y to keep trying, pressed...

Using VIA Sata card.
Should i have the sata cable connected with power off when i boot the cd or wait till iprep loaded before connecting anything. Then i power up drive before or after typing dben 1234567 12345?
thanks for the replies

hi folks, Flashed Hitachi and samsung drives in the past, this is my first benq ATTEMPT. Been following the video and i am not to sure when to power drive on. I boot usb stick with BENQ IPREP on it. Boot pc up, 360 not connected or powered on. connect sata cable, 360 power is off type dben 1234567 1...

when i do dsam it reads but fails to get a valid key(Cos its new drive)
can i use the file it creates on the usb stick sam fw?

made new ixtreme firmware with new key
but when i load firmware into iprep i get NO Valid firmware loaded, is this normal cos it is spoofed or have i gone wrong somewhere along the line
cheers

thanks for the info guys, will try again tonight and let you know how i get on.
makes sense that with the samsung being new and not tied to a 360 then there shouldnt be a valid key.
thanks
