Thats just interface fhe actual hack method would be same as to drive. I flash all my drives from my laptop using x360v2. Youcould get a replacement pcb

didnt understand that
explain it in simple terms and wont do i need to flash like what equipment cant plug sata drive into a sata card on a laptop as they dont have slot inside for one
only thing i have built into my laptop which might help is a esata port

You will need a x360 v2

Method used will depend on drive. There is info here in the stickies

pcb chip starts with a 03
where is the cheapest and quickest to get one of them

You can get replacement chips but require good soldering station an skills. If i remember right u need the sputnik hack for that pcb or replacement pcb

Have a look for the "Sputnik switch" and how to install it and you will know what you have to do , 3 solder points and 1 trace cut on the pcb and you will still need the 360 USB pro or similar flashing equipment, I've no soldering skills at all and I've done 2 of these slims successfully .
