ok a guy i work with gave me a 360 because it didnt play games and he got an elite for $200 so he didnt want it but any way it plays movies and everything but not games i have tried to flash the firmware with the autoflasher thing but my pc doesnt detect it microsoft wants a $100 bucks to fix it. the guy that gave it to me said that when he got it it would play back up games and everything but slowly stopped doing that and thats has me wondering if it was flashed with a bad key . so can any one tell me my options

The only way you can get it working is to use flash the DVD with a firmware that contains the original DVD key.... Find out form the guy if he did it himself or if he got someone to do it for him... Most modders would keep a reckon of the keys from the jobs they do just for their own reckords. Then if the customer does mess it up later they would be able to fix it up for them....

If it worked and then slowly stopped working then it could be as simple as replacing the laser. I laser that is dirty or going bad will stop the drive from reading the sectors of the disc that show it is a 360 game and it will look like a DVD. I would open it up clean the laser really good with a Qtip and Alcohol, then test it out. I still recommend trying to read the flash and see what ver it is of the firmware and reflash to newer IX1.4, Good Luck and it does sound like you got a great deal if your friend really didnt do anything to the firmware and it worked but stopped slowly.

that was no good i tried an xbox one game in it and it told me that i needed a hard drive which i dont have one but could the laser just be bad and is there a way to get the key off the mother board or put in a chip so i can use any drive in it so i can get another ts-h943 and if the board is bad just plug in the new one and go wild or a chip that will make the mother board not even look for the key

You can get the key, but its easier to get the same drive and swap the PCB's over.

how would i get the key just in case i can get a different drive

Hang on, did you mean an original XBOX 1 game, if so the hard drive error is correct and the dvd would seem to have read it fine... Try a 360 original....

Dump the firmware using MTKFlash and open the resulting dump in Toolbox, this will display the key.

yeah the xbox original would say something about the harddrive but the 360 games would just say that i need to put it in a Xbox 360 i why would it not play 360 games thats what has me confused
