damn arakon i was about to lay into him!!

resistors alters the current in a system, which in turn affects the voltage through the equation V= IR and CANNOT be used as a volotage regulator.

twat for such a knowledgeable guy as you pretend to be you dont even know primary school science.

please stop telling people complete nonsense or even better take a hammer to your PC and do us all a favour.

to derrick

if all else fails buy a cheap connectivity kit and stick it in the PC will power your drive fine.

yes the disc plays but it can still get you banned as it cannot be 100% stealthed like 360 games as said before

what is this thread for?

who cares if people who arent as good as you at modding do a bad job?

I especially dont want to read your crappy rant about it so stfu.

what type of samsung do you have ms28?

need to work out port for sata card and send sammy unlock to the drive to make it appear.

never did it on a laptop through pcmcia before not sure if it even works may be wrong someone else will confirm.

nice external case looks buff did you make it completely from scratch or did you use a HDDVD case?

i'd love to see the cooling mods you have made way for any pics of that?

umm no they are not!

"Philips & Liteon Digital Solutions Corporation"

and from wikipedia

"In 2006, Lite-On IT acquired BenQ's Optical Disc Drive (ODD) business to become the second largest optical disc drive manufacturer in the world.

In February 2007, the European Union approved Lite-On's buy into the Philips-BenQ joint venture on digital storage. Lite-On bought out the BenQ shares under the deal and the joint venture was renamed Philips & Lite-On Digital Solutions (PLDS)."

Yes i know there was a phillips drive made for the 360 but it was not used in the final models just in dev models so why would he be asking about it as they cant be used in commercial models?

b4 u jump in to take the piss out of someone, know what you are talking about or even better if you have nothing useful to type. then simply dont, your post count has f*** all to do with your knowledge or the size of your cock.

to danzio: i think you need to spend a good few days researching and learning before you attempt a mod as you seem to not know the ins and outs of it and its very easy for a newbie to f*** their 360 up, i know as i killed my first 360 flashing xtreme 1.0 back in the day.

also dont let ppl like .ISO put you off asking for help if you get stuck, there are some of us nice people who will help, used to be more on this forum years ago before all the banned pricks from x-scene started arriving.

the major point is no-one will hold your hand through it.

google textbooks tutorial and read read read

good luck.

i use aone and sumvision no problems at all occasionally get a 10 spool that are all duff and fail, just take em back to the shop for a new spindle.

used to use verbs only but caught myself on when i realised how much they cost compared to the cheaper media like x5 the price.

OMFG how funny you think that these are "official" drives!!!

they are clones from china 100% identical to the ones people are making themselves.

This i know as i can get them direct from china from the wholesalers for a good price if you buy in bulk.

ive seen them in real life and held one in my hands- completely identical apart from the fake m$ warranty label.

i challenge you to buy one and crack it open who would take bets its a BEVS scorpio??

FYI ebay is full of pirated material being sold as official you are a very nieve person indeed.

i have found that verbs do not work with some samsung and hitachi drives so they arent all that.

verbs come in different quality bands- cheap verbs are $#!te.

i personally use any discs (Aone,sumvision) that will read in the xbox its easy to rerip your original to a cheap disc when its duffed.

memorex discs are $#!te buy good quality discs benq can be very fussy about media.

also what app you use to backup the game?

i would go back to the guy and ask him about the discs.

just because he tells you they are verbs dont mean that they are good quality discs.

verbs even get copied too you know, damn asian ppl can copy anything!!

the firewall i was mentioning was on your pc not the router

you cannot watch HD stuff over wireless of you are on a poor connection or too far away i have found.

correct me  if im wrong but doesnt wireless standards get faster as the letter progresses through tthe alphabet? ie n is curently fastest and a is oldest and slowest?

is your PC connected through wireless to the network also? in that case you will have to open ports to the pc as well as the 360. i suspect this is your problem you may need to hard wire the PC at least, in every setup i have done my PC is always hard wired.

final idea for you is to buy the kit that lets you run a network over your home power lines you get two big plugs with ethernet ports in them, one beside ur pc and one beside your 360 then you will defo get it working.

i have had my 360 hooked up to wmc over hard wired network, on wireless through ms dongle and between two routers not a problem at all.

Very important to set up a dmz in your router, assign static IP to your 360, and open all ports to your 360 to get open status for live.

I am pretty sure that of you cant get wmc working you are prob blocking 50% of other live users from playing with you.

Also check your AV/firewall settings i use NOD32 and it blocked it, had to go in and manually let it connect.

ive seen a memory card advertised from datel that uses a micro sd slot and lets you put in any size micro sd up to 16gb

they must have cracked the security chip to allow you to change the memory size so perhaps this is possible with a bit of haxoring

i would only flash a native fw to a drive in case of any differences in the fw that could result in ban

maybe paranoid but no reason not to do it as precaution though pointless if modding the drive

good point on the jf would be easier to do key swap

replacing the laser is piss easy a lot easier than reflashing your key into a new drive

but then that is piss easy to me too.

search google for textbook's tutorial should help

in a nutshell here what you do

hook up benq to pc and use jungleflasher to read fw off orig drive

hook up new benq and do same

open fwtoolbox 4.8 and copy paste your key into the new fw

then use jungleflasher to flash modified fw with your key back to 2nd drive

put it all back together and pat yourself on the back and get down to some naked xbox.

what you mean mods?

like cheating or making custom maps?

ps if you mod $#!t and log into live = banhammer

try xbox backup creator 2.8 better app imho

also make sure you have flashed the kreon firmware onto pc drive if it isnt already there

i wouldnt do that as you run the chance of fookin the drive up if you dont connect the power cable correctly or god forbid put it in upside down yes i know its only out for a second but its still a risk.

only other way is to do it via bootable floppy disc drive not 100% safe but ive used em lots before i got myself a mobo that supported usb booting
