BenQ Hard Drive Q's
My BenQ was having problems before I installed a Blaster 360 NE. It would not open sometimes & had problems a lot. When I installed the Mod it would open 1 out of 20 try's & would not stay open for more than a sec or two. So I thought it was the Blaster 360 NE (Did not flash drive yet.) & took the mod out
put the original wires back in & still no luck. just makes noise like its stuck. I was looking into buying a NEW BenQ drive on Ebay from Hong Kong for $8.99 maybe three because shipping is 15.99 & the extra's wouldn't hurt. But as I scrolled down the Ebay seller Tab it said.................
Installation warning!
These drives are not just a pull the old one out and put the new one in solution unfortunately, there are procedures to extract a key from the old drives bios file, and then the need to imbed this key into the new drives firmware file. This is a procedure that should only be performed if you’re already experienced in flashing 360 drives. If you don’t have any experience with flashing, you will have to buy the drive and take it to someone that knows how to flash and repair Xbox 360 consoles. Also note that if your drive is just having problems reading discs, you might be able to get away with just a laser replacement. This requires a soldering iron, but is much easier then installing a new drive, changing drives in a 360 is basically a last resort as a repair option.................
So my question is what should I do from here I'd like to fix this problem. I don't know how to extract the 'Old Drive Keys' & Transfer to the new BenQ & I ordered a Blaster 360 CK3 because I thought the NE is a little out of date.
Even though I don't have a Liteon Drive. I like the USB Feature I will be using my Toshiba Satellite Laptop with a USB to Sata Cable to Flash my drive once I fix this problem.
Thanks Everyone for your Help!!! :wink:
