In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to flash your BENQ DVD Drive with latest iXtreme firmware.
If you have a BENQ DVD in your XBOX 360, you are luck. You don't need to extract the key, you even don't need to do all the tricky things, such as power on or off the DVD drive, push the tray half way in etc.
The process for BENQ is simple: Read BENQ's firmware, spoof the firmware and flash it back to your BENQ.
For BENQ DVD drive flash, you only need the [connectivity kit], you do NOT need the key extractor. However you also need [VT6421 SATA PCI card] if your PC does not have a SATA port.
In this tutorial, we are going to do all this in DOS.
- Follow instructions on the net to disassemble your XBOX 360, remove the BENQ DVD Drive (VAD6038). It is best to use a [XBOX Case tool] to open your xbox 360.
- Follow the instruction Make a bootable USB key to create a bootable USB key. Download iXtreme 1.5 from [here]. Unzip to a temp directory. Copy all content from DOS directory and Firmtool 1.3 directory to your newly created bootable USB key.
