fumanchu Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) i bought a 360 abut a month ago,and ive been thinking about getting it flashed,so last week i took it to this guy who owed me a favour and he said he would flash my 360.its the newest model with the benq dvd drive.now i know you can flash the benq so anyway i waited and waited,until he told me that the dvddrive was bricked.now he says its because its the newest model of benq drive and that the firmware was the latest,but he told me that his pc detected the dvd key and when he tried to flash,he said something about the file being corrupt coz it was the newest version.now hes telling me hes gonna send it away to get unbricked if this is possible,i dont know enough about 360 flashing.and he said it should flash after that. im a bit worried here in case it gets ruined. anyone know if its possible to unbrick a 360 dvd drive?

Wizard Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Best bet is to take this question to more 360 oriented forums. Some of hte links we got to tuts should take you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Basically he is feeding you excuses. It is your friend's fault for not knowing what to do that the drive bricked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackKnight Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Umm, who's he sending it to? You're better off sending it to Microsoft yourself than trusting this guy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
