update your firmware without ever opening the case again.

Q: Do I need any special tools to open up the case.
A: We provide a special unlocking tool to open up your Xbox 360
case. We also provide a Torx 10 screwdriver - both free of charge
with the Blaster.
Q: Can I rip/backup original 360 games to my PC using this?
A: Yes of course. Simply Use the 0800 firmware for that drive and Xbox Backup Creator. We recommend using a BENQ Drive.
Q: Do I have to solder anything?
A: If you have a Liteon 83850v2 or a Liteon 93450 then these drives require whats known as the MRA hack to extract the DVD Key. This can be done using a CK3 Probe v2 or an LT Switch. Both require small trace cuts and a tiny bit of soldering. There are plenty of guides on the forums showing you how to do this.
Q: Do I have to cut the case?
A: There is absolutely no physical damage to the case whatsoever -
inside or out. You don't even have to remove any metal shielding
from the case like you do with other products.

A: It is used with Hitachi drives (not 78 or 79 versions) to give you a drive letter in Windows WINAPI mode.
Q: What is Modeb
?
A: Modeb (or Debug Mode) is a function where the drive switches
itself into a state where it can be recognized in Windows.
Q: How do you power cycle the Blaster ?
A: Simply turn the Xbox 360's power switch on/off.
Q: Can I extract SS/DMI/PFI sectors from original 360 games to my
PC?
A: Yes you can.
Q: What is the best SATA card to use ?
A: In our experience the best Sata Card is the VIA 6421 - Buy here.
Q: Do I need the connectivity kit?
A: No. All those functions are built into the Blaster 360 CK3 Edition.
