Flashing BenQ without connectivity kit

[Han Cholo]

I had a question regarding the tutorial on flashing the BenQ with iprep 008.8
I was wondering if I needed a connectivity kit to do the half open tray thing. Or if it was cool just to unplug the power source on the drive and then plug it back in.

I'm not sure if it just needed to be plugged into a power source, or if my xbox actually needed to be powered on.
Because when I power it on it just closes back up.

Also, sorry if this question has already been addressed in the forums. I couldn't find it.

Thanks.

try iprep 8.8
but dont do the open tray
it should give you another option to get the drive in debug mode.
but
if you want to do it half open tray
here is a run down.

If using a 360 to power the drive this method can be tricky to accomplish.
You need to power on the drive with Eject status closed but Tray Half Open –To do this using
an Xbox 360 as Power source, eject the DVD drive, then, press eject to ‘close’ the tray. Now this
is the important part –you MUST remove the DVD power plug from the DVD Drive BEFORE it
closes fully.
Wait for a few seconds and replace the power plug into the DVD drive taking extreme caution
to plug the plug the right way around –once done, the drive is now powered, console thinks its
closed but it is in fact half open.

Thanks.
I just tried it out. Everything worked out.

I appreciate the help on that.
