    Hey guys,

    Gonna attempt the Winbond Slim Kamikaze hack and I was wondering where I can buy a dremel with a .8mm bit in Dublin? Does anywhere do them? Or does anyone have one for sale?

    Thanks.

    There's 2 for sale there.

    Never under estimate adverts.ie, has to be the best online sales website around.

    It is a way to unlock Winbond Chip that is present on some Xbox 360 slim DVD drives. Once the chip is locked (either on purchase, or through a firmware update) you can't write to it anymore so you can't flash iXtreme LT firmware.

    To get around this, you can drill a very small hole in a very precise place on the Winbond chip to unlock it. It's not easy and requires patience and a very steady hand. It's called the Kamikaze hack because if it goes wrong, you've bricked your DVD drive - it's all or nothing. If it does go wrong then you need to either get the Winbond chip replaced by a professional or buy a replacement DVD drive circuit board.

    I won't be attempting that them :)
    So does that mean that you have to do the kamikaze hack. You can't even use the usb pro and ck3 to unlock it ?!

    Well you still need both items after drilling to write to chip(Well you don't actually need them if you have compatible sata ports and another way to power drive). And would have used them before drilling to get key.
