long story short.
my friend got a bad flash on his 47 Hitachi drive.
it acts completely DEAD. No laser power or light ( opened to see )
no eject obviously too.
he killed his original bin ( stupid guy )
ANY way yet to extract the key from the Xbox 360?
I saw someone made an HDD drive key etractor..
maybe one for the dvd was done??
You'd have to unsolder the firmware chip and read it with an external programmer.
Grim187 can do this for you
