not quite sure where to get an answer for this so here goes.. is there only one benq drive for the 360 or are there multiple benq drives?? just want to make sure before flashing so I dont brick my drive!! it took me this long to get a 360 and who knows how long it would be before I would be able to get another if I mess it up!! thanks in advance to all who look and help me out!!! _________________________________________________________ http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php
Nope there is only one version of the BenQ. Should work out just fine for you. _________________________________________________________

Buddy,
As long as you get a firmware backup from the dvdrom drive you wont have any dramas.. Once you have a backup even if you brick the drive you can easily just buy a replacement drive and flash it with your unique key!
Thank you darth and hobbs!!! Like I said I just wanted to make sure that I was under the right impression!!! And I will make sure that I use iprep 101!!! Again thank you both!!
Edit: by the way darth congrats on becoming a mod!!! _________________________________________________________ http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php
sorry did not want to make another thread but... Just to see what you think; have you ever used this program: 360 modification disk v. 1.53?? if so how easy is it really to use it??? like I said earlier don't want to mess nothing up.. I just want to get as much info on this subject before I give it a go!!! lol!! _________________________________________________________ http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php
I have never heard of that program personally. I would use with extreme caution.
Actually I've been mod for a while now. I just became an admin though. Need to get my sig updated the next time robbyboy gets on. _________________________________________________________
another thing is do i have to have VIA SATA 6421A PCI to flash the firmware??? _________________________________________________________ http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php

yeh, as long as your SATA chipset is compatible you wont need the addon card.. I had to get one myself and was well worth the $5 including delivery.. lol _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:
