Help Identifying my 360 drive

[Bren]

Well I've flashed hitachi and sammy drives before but haven't came across this drive. This is a new arcade 360 just bought. I have opened the 360 and on the drive in small bold writing it does say Philips & Benq Digital Storage Corporation. I'll try and write down some of the info on the drive that may help. So its BenQ right?

Manufactured. March 2008
Model No. VAD6038
HM Ver. J-DA1A4
FW Ver. 64930C

I'm just about to watch the benq flashing tutorial on here and have just downloaded Toolbox.4.6 and Iprep 101 v0.0.6.2 beta from this site. Not sure what firmware I need though. Any other usefull link or tutorials or any info I should know please feel free to point me in the right direction.

Have a look at this thread. I believe it might be what you have.

edit: maybe not. I just looked at the model number in that thread and it was different. Hopefully it's just a common benq. Plenty of good tutorials on this site to get you all set up.

you have a benq vad6038.that is just a normal benq.
not a big deal.
the right firmware for that drive is the
ixtreme v1.41

you can read in textbook guide.it goes in to great detail about all flashing.
