I'll be posting photos within a few hours.. It was bought from Dubai back in August 2008 but ever since it was sitting on the shelf because it couldn't play backups.. and it's PAL
Hey good to know you managed to flash the lite on succesfully. :) I also have a lite-on equipped 360 sitting on shelf for a few months now.. I wanted to know if you're interested in doing it for rest of us. If yes, then how much would you charge for the lite on flashing?
Finally!
It took quite alot of time. But yes, I believe the patience would be worth it.. I guess it's about the time to take my lite-on 360 out of the store room. ;P
Update from Geremia at the XBOXHacker forums..
Got a drive as gift for testing (thanks Raiden)
Some small update:
it's an embedded spi flash, exactly an MX25L2005 and dosflash1.6 can write it.
The bad is that you can access it only if it's completely erased, this seems to be the "check...
Means there is an option to get the lite-on 360s working.. at least this is a solution. It's better than having no option at all with this drive. Any idea who would be working on this drive here?

Found something interesting..

now that the key has been retrieved, we can simply insert this key into another hackable drive, and then use that right ??
I was just wondering if I could replace my lite-on drive with the older BenQ one? I bet there would be alot of people opon whome their 360s might have died because of the RRoD and the drive remained safe and useable..
PS: watching my xbox 360 packed in the cupboard is a sight of torture.
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying.
You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
