I can't extract my 79FL key for obvious reasons and I'm not good enough at soldering to buy a maximus passkey.
Is it possible to buy a 78K and just swap the PCBs? Does this process require soldering?
I've been researching the best way to play backups for my 360 for a month now & after mispurhcasing a Samsung ms28 & a VIA sata chipset, I'm ready to just send it out and get it flashed professionally.
Thank you in advance and I apologize if this has been answered before but I've used the search function 3 times and came up with nothing regarding this specifically. (on whether the PCB swap requires desoldering & resoldering)
Thanks, again.

There is no way around it. If you want to play backups you will have to install a Passkey chip to read and write the flash.

This will not work. Since the drive key is on the circuit board when you swap the boards you will still have a Hitachi 79 drive with Hitachi 78 case and laser.

Thank you for your speedy reply. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
