Okay, I've read the tutorials for the JF;
I've installed Windows XP + PortIO + .NET 2.0
I have onboard SATA and nForce. Just in case, I also have a VIA-card, the correct one.
To connect and read, I bought this:
Xbox 360 Solderless lite-on DVD key extractor addon - DB9 VersionI'm using the x360 to power the drive.
Okay, I have connected the alligator clip to
this part of the x360 to power it with 3.3V
The spear itself, I'm poking into the hole just below 707. I've also tried to poke it at the bottom part (like described
here).
I've successfully pulled off the "tray half-open" trick, and I did not fry the drive by inserting the cable the wrong way around.
JF opens up and it detects the xbox360 on SATA. It also detects my dvdkey-extractor via USB (says it COM3).
No matter what, I always gets the "Bad Serial Data". I'm pushing softly, I'm pushing hard, I'm pushing with all my force, I've tried anything!
Anyone got a clue? :/ I heard that I could get a "battery holder" to clip the alligator clip on to, for making sure it has 3V power, but I couldn't find one at the stores..
By reading this (it's not tl;dr! (IMG:

Thanks, much appreciated! (IMG:
