Anyone know of a good reputable dealer in these that you have dealt with? I want it to be new but as cheap as possible. $33 isn't too bad I guess.

Great! Thanks for the response moonkight... Cons: Your xbox may (probably will) get banned if spoofed - I don't play online. I usually just play campaigns and that's about it Replacing the drive is a lot more expensive than replacing the laser - Not sure of the price difference. Will check it out. B...

Wow... Hard to believe this is my first post since July 16th 2011.... Since we are still here and the world hasn't ended, I decided to dig out my old XBOX 360 again... I really want to try and fix this issue with the DVD drive not reading known good backup discs. It gives me a disc error or "di...

Yeah all of said backup games played on my flashed benq drive till the xbox just quit working.... So they played on the other drive so I know they were a good copy then. Now, with the Hitachi, the xbox reads the disc and then says "Open tray" again... Could this be a possible weak laser? A...

Ok.... Haven't been on in a few days but that doesn't mean there aren't new developments... ;) This Hitachi drive just would not go into ModeB... So I ended up trying as a last resort, the 2 wire trick and what do you know... It went right into ModeB right away... It was great. Botted up Windows and...

Ok! A tutorial I HAVEN"T tried yet... (I've scoured the internet looking for resources to help get this thing flashed...) Well, this tutorials link to the SLAX CD was no longer valid but I had already downloaded SLAX 2.1 earlier so I used the disc I had already made. I did this on my newer Win ...

Well, at the first I wondered about the PCI card AND the cable... I was having such a hard time of it at first, but I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda that is SATA so I hooked it up to the PCI card using the same cable and it recognized the drive and I transferred some 155GB of date from my primary HD o...

Thanks moonkight... The JungleFlasher tutorial is also in the Documents folder in the JungleFlasher Distro... I have followed that every step of the way, and everything works correctly EXCEPT the drive not being recognized... As for the latest version of JungleFlasher, I am using version 0.1.84 (250...

Ok, I just went out and downloaded Slax2 and burned it onto a cd. Loadedit into my pc powered off the PC, powered on the pc & XBOX. Slax loaded and the 360 is NOT in Mode B... This is getting crazier and crazier. Is there a possibility that this drive can not be flashed? I mean, it plays my orig...

Ok... Made a little progress... The XBOX is NOT freezing XP anymore... :) I REMOVED (not uninstalled) the VIA drivers and this fixed the freezing problem. Turned on XBOX and everything was still fine. Started JungleFlasher and it opened without a problem. Chose Portio instead of WinAPI and either wa...

Wow... What a process.... I had to uninstall a bunch of stuff off my Win 7 pc, then use the disk management feature to partition an new partition, which I then found out would only give me a 2 GB partition even though I had 155 GB free... I defragged my drive to get everything toward the front of th...

Hello, I am back... :) I had a Benq that I had trouble flashing but I FINALLY got that issue resolved. (Thank you Cofree!) Only problem is, sometime after that the 360 started to exhibit "strange" behaviour. For example, after about 10 - 15 mins of game play the screen freezes and gets lit...

Hmmmm....

What is the revision number of this dash update, please?

Results so far:

Assassins Creed - Failed

Assassins Creed 2 - Success



That's a little more like it... Up to at 75% from 50%

HaGGardSmurf, Let me do some clarifying. I made a copy of my Assassins Creed first and it didn't work. After I had burned the AC disk but before I had tried it out, I loaded my iso of Red Dead Redemption in and started the burn. I went to the 360 and tried the backup of AC but it didn't work. I plac...
