I tried to flash my xbox 360 lite-on drive today with a ati chipset. I could not get it to read the drive key. From what I had read is that they work best with the VIA chipset or a Nvidia chipset. I was wondering if anyone has more info on that.

I only use my via pci card, purchased from ebay.
I will look into it now mate and post back here.
What i have just read it will require soldering, i have emailed you a guide that covers all drives.
If anyone else requires this guide then message me.

Yea I know. I bought a generic TTL adapter from the Segem market. and had soldered it on and connected the two bridge points.Comment

On the ati chipset it would detect the lite-on drive but would fail to get a good key. I will go back to segem and pick up a via card and try that.Comment

If you struggle to do it with the cia card you have me on messenger and i have done quite a few of these drives now without any trouble.sigpic

to be honest too the ck3 pro looks allot better, also using the ck3 and via, you need all drivers installed into xp, then if your still getting bad key error with the drive half open, you will need to pause the boot up in windows, either by an os select screen or by entering the bios.sigpic

Yea I bought a via card today and tried to do it. but I am sol, my drive died. the drive controller chip gets really hot when power is applied to the drive and i get no response from the eject. I am so upset. But I wont give up. I will just buy 5 more xbox's that way I am sure to get at least one of them working.Comment

Well you got nothing to loose here, put it all back nice and neat, send it back to ms, i have heard of a few people doing this and they have got it back working.
For the bit in postage its always worth a try and i have sent chipped ps2's back to sony before now with recons sent backsigpic

Yea and if ms wont take. I can do the walmart swap. You just swap the guts with a new one from walmart. and they will exchange it.Comment

Yeah thats another way around it but honestly the solderless methods on the liteons are the safest.
The hitchi 79 drive must be modded before it can be flashed and thats the only 1 i know of that requires any kind of soldering.sigpic

it wasnt the soldering. I am a expert at that. The drive just died without warning. Just bad luck i guess.Comment
