Ok. I have a falcon benq pro unit, close to or just past the 3 yr purchase point. (relating to sending it to MSoft) Had a professional group w reflow machinery do a reflow and my 0110 (3 light RROD) has not changed. It was initially a E74 which became after about 5 reboots a RROD.
I'm wondering if I should have someone else take a look at fixing it. (maybe the first guys missed something?) or sending it to MSoft, OR getting a new arcade unit that will probably have the Lite-On drives I am unfamiliar flashing and I don't have any connection kits/probes or whatever you need for lite-on's.
Does anyone know if I send it back to MS and they CAN fix it, will they leave the benq in there, or if they can't fix it will they replace it with a jasper/lite-on? (that's if they even accept to repair it with my case sticker removed)
Just a little miffed with the whole scenario. Everything was fine with the 360 and then a day later I start it up and E 74..... no overheats, no mods ever done (just FW flashing) no problems... dang it.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
What professional group? So they used an xray to confirm the reflow was good? The GPU probably needs "reballed". Which is like $75. PM me if you want some reballing done.
I don't know if they have an xray, I just saw the reflow machine and the base plate that holds the board in place so they can target the area that needs reflow. There are some groups that advertise in my part of Cali. I don't want to ship it out anywhere unless it's to MSoft.
But one more thing I forgot to ask: If my benq is already flashed, can't I just buy a new jasper unit, take out the lite-on and pop in the benq? Or will this make the 360 go ape, or show up as an instant red flag to MS on live and get me banned for the hardware switch?
Just wondering if it's even possible. I know I can buy the probe or whatever and dump the LT ixtreme on it, but if I don't have to, that would be ok.
You have to dump the firmware from the drive with the jasper. Most likely a Lite-on 9xx series. Then you spoof the benQ to the lite-on. You need soldering skills to do this. Otherwise it will just be a DVD player. Everyone eventually gets banned. Who cares. Especially $5000 later.
