Hi, I have a console with a dead DVD drive. I'd like to recover the DVD key for it, and swap the drive with a working one.

My issue is it's hard finding RGH hardware as most TX products seem to be discontinued -the UK resellers seem to have a very limited selection available.

The console is a Xenon with the 2.0.9199 dash.

Existing tools I have with me include the CK3 PRO, the NAND-X, X360USB PRO V1 along with soldering equipment and thermal compound.

From reading the roadmap and hardware suggestion guide, it seems I need to be performing the RGH v1 as there's no R-JTAG for Xenons?

What would be the cheapest way to go about recovering the DVD key? And where can I buy the requisite tools?

Thanks!

It is possible if you can get your hands on a rev c coolrunner but unless someone on here wants to sell one you may struggle to get one. To be honest you'd probably be better off just buying a Fqlcon or Jasper console.

I've had to replace clones that others installed due to issues that they caused. They can work for a while and die, not work at all and just continuously attempt to glitch making you think it's doing something or prevent the console from powering on all together.

My point is, using a clone on a Xenon is a bad idea. They take so long to glitch anyway that you won't know if its the console, your setup or just a junk chip.
