i have a Q about coFree's tutorial flashing the benq

[yousif666]

Hi

cofree when i saw your tutorial video of flashing the benq drive (the latest one)

i saw you connecting the drive with a connectivity kit

its connectivity kit pro right ?

and i saw that you power up the socket from a molex

is it the power supply of the same PC you are using ? or an external power supply ?

cus im afraid to use a USB cus alot of users reported that the socket is burnt up with the USb and some of them when they connected the molex

Think cofree usually uses a spare atx supply but you can use one of your pc ones (i had to use a spare psu as every time i turned the ck3 on it reset my pc) And yup it will have been a ck3 pro. If you are worried about using a usb get yourself an r232 cable and use the com port instead.

as i was watching the video i didn't see cofree connect a USB neither a rs232

so i dont have to connect a usb or a rs232 ?

just a molex ?

Yip as it was a benq it doesnt need either (just the molex for power) You can use one of your internal pc ones as i think my problem was down to a cheap pc psu.

i will try it and i hope it dont burn up

Thanks for help

on the benq you dont have to use a rs232 or a usb
in fact it wont work if you do.

the benq dumps the firmware out through the sata cable.

i use a old at power that i junked out of a pc.

you you use you computer power supply
make sure the 360 dvd drive is grounded to your computer case one way of another.

[yousif666]

ok, please can you tell me how to ground it ?

cus this is the thing that i am afraid of and dont know how to do it

because my case it shoking me when i touch it

just have the dvd drive setting on the edge of the computer case or a small wire taped from one to the other.

[yousif666]

then i will just put the drive on the case

thanks
