Hi
First posting so please be kind !!
I have a faulty Xbox DVD model TS-H943, basically the drive is dead and looking at the PCB one of the chips is totally fried and i beleive i am unable to therefore get the Key data.

Have you actually tried to dump the key before you assume the PCB is fried, give it a shot because at this point that's your only hope. Unfortunately without your original drive key your 360 will now assume the role of a DVD player but you won't be able to play any games on it.

Thanks guy's not the answer i was hoping for but unfortuatley expected !!
The drive is dead and hence i cant even 'see' the drive, my only thought is to remove the firmware and what i assume is a flash device as it is surrounded in epoxy from the PCB and try and fit to another drive

Can you post a pic?

You might be able to remove the flash chip on it and read it in a external programmer.

found the following link
http://www.xboxhacker.net/index.php?topic=3719.0

Which whilst discusses bricked drives effectively covers what i am trying to do ie. remove and copy the E^2, seems however there is some encryption so a bit of work to get this fixed.

Good point leerage, forgot about the external programmer. At least it gives MCUK some glimmer of hope.
