    its a 1.6a and its fragging

    theres a bit of damage i did around the lpc so im guessing i broke a trace or somthing silly.


    but my real concern is if my 320GB drive is unlockable or not

    With a mod chip it wouldn't matter if it can lock or not. Softmods need a locked drive.

    Similar thing happened me....managed to unlock the drive using this:

    http://www.hddunlock.com/

    had to pay $10 i think (there may be a "free" way around this by now!) but it worked a treat...saved the drive and bought a 2nd hand xbox for 50 yoyos...expensive mistake but it could be worse!!!

    well i sent it off to a lad in waterford who was part of the xbox linux project who informed me my board was dead forever so i got a broken 1.3 xbox from adverts( thanks to ongarite and v10) and did the wire install and believe me i felt such a surge of joy when i seen the flashbios screen appearing on my tv!
