    Hey guys, like the title says. Is it possible to RGH a Falcon that has a bricked (bad flash) LiteOn DVD drive?

    My problem altogether is that i wanted to just swap the bricked LiteOn to a BenQ, but i forgot to grab the DVD drive key. So my theory is that if i can RGH with a bricked drive and grab the nand and what not, then when it is RGH'd i can grab the DVD drive key from the motherboard and write it to the BenQ. Thus leaving me with a fresh RGH without the E64 error and a new BenQ added.

    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks,
    SlopeyAU.

    Edit: - P.S. Console hasn't been updated in around a year.

    yes then you should be able to RGH the console, But honestly if you do, you will care less about the drive then, lol , it will be a secondary thought at that point, only used for occasional disc ripping or menu launching. (unless want it for online use in that case, you then repair the drive, remove the RGH, and flash nand back to retail/stock)

    Right, i understand. So when it is RGH'd i can just chuck in an external HDD and use like normal?

    because i was thinking that if i RGH'd and the drive was still bricked then it would still give me the E64 error and not boot up. That's the only reason why i was gonna swap the drives, but if it boots up and skips the error then i am fine with that.

    yeah you will then use the external to load your games (xbox Hdd can also be used but usually lacks in space)

    You can fix the bricked drive once you have the DVD key or just remove it entirely and jumper the dvd power cable pins like this to keep the center light from flashing

    NOTE: if this is all due to a pesky E64 error that is because your drive does not have the correct firmware flashed to it (or is wrong model drive) ,,you can simply flash the correct FW and though without the DVD key correct you will only be able to play cd's and DVD's ,,(not games) but the console will then boot without error
