from this point on, anyone who says

1. when will the firmware be ready
2. how can i get a new system without a liteon drive
3. what drive is in my system
4. does anyone have the ability to contact c4e directly
5. can we just flash the lite-on with the benq firmware
6. something stupid/useless/not constructive

you WILL have your post invised and your account put on a 7 day mute. if you are unsure about if your post is going to get you in trouble, post it Here.

this being said, i just want to explicitly say, those of you posting the c4e irc logs, great work. those are actually useful and give everyone a straight from the horses mouth update.

*MODERATOR UPDATE*

Please review This Post for the latest news regarding the status of this drive.

Hi today i recieved a console back from microsoft repair center in Australia, it had a BENQ drive which didnt seem to flash via dosflash. Apon inspection i believe i have found a new drive revision!

Model no. DG-16D2S
HW Version. A0A1
FW Version. 74850C

I would be willing to loan/donate the drive to C4E, if he would like to contact me about it via PM
Cheers

Have you tried to dump the firmware with dosflash

Have you opened it.... A picture/scan of the pcb might indicate if it completely new or just a revision...

Dosflash doesnt read, it gets to the usual y/n to resend commands. Hit Y it will do the normal 51/D1 when I cut power and turn it back on, then the code changes to 52/D2 and will not read. I have flashed manier Benq before with no problems, Here is a photo of the PCB, which confirms a new model

What's more I don't see a flash device....

I doubt it, but is the board double-sided... any parts on the bottom side

No parts on the other side.... as you can see theres clear epoxy around the MT1319L chip which would indicate where the FW is stored:) although im no hardware expert

Also noticed the manufacturers are Phillips and Lite-on, not Phillips and BenQ like on the VAD6038

It's going to be like the xbox 1.6 when they removed the flash chip and incorporated it into the chipset.. And we thought the 79 was nasty...

So the discoverer gets naming rights, correct? i shall call her BastQ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But I guess this should be the Lite On (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

your name will be forever tied in shame with the end of the 360 flashable era

Never say die, at the end of the day, there is firmware is there somewhere on chip and it needs to have a key written to it for it to work, so it has to be writable....

MT1319L is the drive controller, similar to the MT1359SL that is on the BenQ drive.

Can you take a clearer pic of the top and bottom of the board please.

Thanks,

Caster.

Can you also take a picture of the tray.

Also, the drive functions perfectly fine in the console, correct? Plays originals fine, etc...?

Thanks,

Caster.
