i screwed up. i didn't plug the power plug the right way around to the dvd drive due to lack of concentration and i saw smoke coming from the drive when i powered the xbox360 on (i'm using the xbox360 itself as power source). damn it. i opened the drive, the R204 and the R207 are burned out on the module. i have a spare virgin liteon drive but unfortunately it's a 74850C. Dumping it to extract its key will be of no use as my dashboard(13146) won't recognize it. i have the dummy.bin, the key.bin of my previous out of use liteon(0251). will it be possible for me to load dummy as source, [stock 74850C or stock 02510] as target, spoof to target, erase and write? which one shall i use as target?? i dn't fink stock 74850C will be the proper fw as after 13146 update all phat liteon should be stock 02510 fw, i just want to be certain before i screwed this one too! will it work just fine? or will have an E66 error this time? Assuming that my dashboard (13146) recognizes the drive, at this stage my drive is still a stock version. will i be able to update my dashboard at least to 15574 then flash LT+3.0? i understand that the steps are pretty sequential and it all depends if my dashboard recognizes the new liteon after spoofing the key. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME BY SHEDDING LIGHT ON THIS MYTH? THANKS in advance.

That being said, then there is no difference between a phat 7 series, 8 series, or 9 series drive? If they now all have the same firmware, then they are all as easy to flash as the 8 series drives? The 8 series were the most desirebale before the updates. Also, spoofing no longer is an issue between the series then if they now all have the same firmware, correct?
