no probs mate and yes it is reported as safe for live, but of course this rely's on all your backups being fully stealthed.

My mate got all his stuff yesterday and attempted his first key extraction, but somehow he said that smoke/spark came from the black chip near the 07 point.



When he put it back together it had rrod, and he didn't even get the key!

So is his pcb dead? or is there some fix you can do with that chip?

Cheers.

Yeah you have to send it to a professional. Theres nothing you or your friend can do unfortunatley. As your in the uk, send it to TeaJunkie or Flashing360. They'll sort it out.
Either send them a PM or use the request a service at the bottom of the home page.

like to say thanks flash my frist one on trobble at all ok so you will be attempting to flash the liteon 74850c. all you need to do is probe the r707 hole on the drive and follow the tutorial. i assume the ribbon you are referring to is the laser ribbon? its recommended to remove this as its widely thought that leaving this connected whilst flashing the liteon can lead to the open tray error. if im mistaken then let me know and ill help you out some more.

i sucessfully flashed my lite-on drive using the blaster 360 i sucessfully burned a copy of mw2 and when i put the disc inside and load it...it would load from the hard drive and when i press eject on the blaster the disc comes out and im still able to play off the hard drive with no disc. i was wondering if this is safe... thanks for all the great guides this was my first flash!

The game only needs to be in the drive to start the game. If you try to start it from the HD without the game in the xbox it won't work.

Hi

I just thought I would check here as this seems to be the main tutorial. Is it important that I remove the ribbon as stated in this post

Or is it ok to do it exactly as this tutorial says

Thanks in advance

Although its never been proven that leaving the laser ribbon in causes the laser to possibly burn out, its still thought to be good practice and its better to be safe than sorry.
Personally I remove them but there's loads of guys that never do.
It's up to you, but for 10th seconds work, I'd say its worth removing it.

id never removed a laser ribbon until recently. ive never had a laser issue after but didnt want to damage a customers drive and end up losing money so i do now just to be careful.
