is this a benq drive?

[gd6noob]

so i had a little problem with my own drive but now thats solved thanx to CoFree..

i have a friends 360 and when i plugged it into my comp, instead of displaying VAD6038 like my 360 drive, it displayed "PLDS DG-16D2S 74850C"

the drive tray looks exactly like my benq so i thought it was a benq.. but i booted up my comp and notice it wasnt the usualy benq drive.. so have no idea if its a benq or not..

It's a Liteon mate and yeah they have the same tray as the Benq's.

damn.. thats why i got confused..

is flashing this drive the same except i use the lite on fw?

[dalecheesy]

No it's slightly more complicated. You need to either use a probe or solder/bridge the 707 points if it hasn't been flashed before. Theres a few videos on it here: viewforum.php?f=195" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[gd6noob]

crappy.. where can i get this probe?

or what do i solder/bridge?

[gd6noob]

i was reading around and googleling and apparently you can flash/spoof the liteon as a benq or phillips drive..

its that possible and is it safe?



**** EDIT ***** damn you still need a probe... can i get it off ebay or do computer stores carry them?

I got mine here:

Probe - http://www.modchip.ca/store/product.php ... 284&page=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

CoFree gave them an "A" on his review. Good price and shipping was great.

do i need to have the CK in order to use the probe?


or lets say i find a broken 360 but the drive works and its a benq, can i just swap it?

nope
you will still have to have the key from your orig dvd drive
so if you got that key you just a well flash the orig drive
