I finally got my Xbox 360 Blaster in! When I got the part I had to take apart my Xbox 360 hopefully for the last time. What this part does is it allows you to flash the DVD Drive without having to take apart the Xbox. Basically it has a SATA Port on the front of it. You just have to plug a SATA Cable from your computer into the front of the Blaster 360!
When I received the 360 Blaster I looked online to see if there was a new firmware out for the Xbox DVD Drive. A new firmware had come out the day before so this was a good opportunity to see if I could install the 360 Blaster & then flash the DVD Drive to see how it worked.
It was a bit of a pain to figure out how to plug all the wires in and run the wires through the Xbox. I was glad to see that they designed it so that you don't have to cut or modify anything on the Xbox when installing the Blaster 360.
After connecting all the wires I tested the Xbox 360 to make sure that it still was operating correctly. Everything looked good booted up fine. There are 2 switches on the 360 Blaster. One to switch it from PC to Xbox 360 Mode. The other switch was to turn the Mode B on/off & there was a Xbox 360 Mode. I switched it to PC Mode & Mode B I saw that the Xbox 360 power button was flashing rapidly. This told me that it was in Mode B which is the state you want the Xbox 360 to be in when you are flashing the DVD Drive.
So everyone thing looked good. I put the Xbox 360 back together, got the newest firmware for the DVD Drive. I put the Xbox 360 in Mode B & was able to flash the DVD Drive successfully in about 60 seconds!!!! Obviously much faster then having to take the Xbox 360 apart every time when you need to flash it.
Here is a little video showing the completed Xbox 360. It shows the Modded Case as well as the 360 Blaster!
