honestly, what were you thinking? Do you have the drive key for your drive?

If not, you just screwed yourself.

4: Hit Lite-On-Erase button. NOTE - This is done AFTER you have already successfully transferred your inquiry.bin / identify.bin / key.bin files!!!

Congratulations on the paper weight. No key means the system will not use the drive. If you have no backup of the key or a backup of the hacked(with the key in it)/original firmware, there is nothing you can do. You can't replace the drive for the same reason, you need a key unique to your console from the original disc drive.

Try to patch your warranty sticker up and send it to MS, they just might send a replacement console if you're lucky enough. You really have no options on fixing it yourself if the key is gone. Maybe if you can patch up the warranty sticker they might just think it's a factory defect. It has a lite-on so your 360 must be new and you might be able to sly yourself in.

If they send it back to ya, put it on Craigslist and try to sell it to someone who wants parts. A friend of mine fixes consoles and pays nicely for lenses, heatsinks, and power bricks. Then cut your losses and use the money you get from selling parts to buy a new console.

Just tossing ideas out there. Also never, EVER try doing this again.
