My old Falcon xbox died awhile back and I ended up upgrading to this jasper i got off ebay. Being the diligent consumer that I am I decided to flash it like my trusty old Benq was.

My SATA chipset wasn't behaving and I kept trying different ways to get my homemade probe to go. JF kept failing on the dvd key extraction. The probe part seemed to work fine, it would just fail after it. Looking back I should have bought a VIA SATA card, I think the issue was my chipset (nforce 720a).

One of the brilliant suggestions involved yanking the power cord out instead using the inline switch during the probing....... great idea :facepalm:

My hand slipped and my sewing needle totally ruined my PCB. JF won't recolonize it anymore and my xbox does a single red light on bootup. PCB is toast I'm guessing.

Does anyone do any repair services to take the chip out? I would be willing to pay to get the key extracted, flashed and repaired. I'm located in the Northwest, United States.

Thanks!

Looking at it again this morning, I don't think I scratched it. It just looks that way from the glue that holds the chip in. I think its just stuck in a vendor mode or something from when I was trying to earlier. I didn't erase it yet so looks like its getting sent off to Mr. Nofel. Thanks for the quick responses guys! Much appreciated.

If you have used x360usb pro and probe3, that would not have happened.I think the PCB is just bad flashed and you can recover it very easy with x360usb pro.The dvdkey need to be extracted from the xbox360 motherboard.

You'll most likely need to RGH/R-JTAG the console to recover the DVD key and possibly a replacement drive if it cannot be reflashed/repaired.
