Should I re-flash to original FW?

I have 2 360s with BenQs, both flashed with iXtreme 1.6. The main one we use online was banned last week. Since then we have not turned the 2nd machine on. Actually, the 2nd machine has not been turned on for a couple weeks. Should I re-flash the 2nd machine with the original stock FW before connecting to Live?
Thanks

Hello,
just want to help out. I really dont think you can find original firmware anywhere on the web. even if you do, microsoft prolly knows if you played any downloaded "backups."

It couldnt hurt anything. if at all possbile though i would leave it disconnected from your network until this thing blows over.

I had a samsung console with a benq in it, I hadn't played on that xbox since before the ban wave, but after I restored it, I played some COD for an hour or 2, and mid game I was banned.
It could either be that it was a spoofed drive, or that they had me flagged... Either way, if your console is modded, its not safe.

Thanks for the answers. This console has the original BenQ drive in it...never been changed or spoofed. I have the original FW backed up (of course...in 3 different places). Also, NEVER have downloaded a game, only copies of my originals.
