    If your looking to pay with laser arent komplette your only option really?

    Ok so i did a bit of digging:

    Komplette do not have alot of sata controllers (2) , but this one might do the trick

    Komplette does not tell you what chipset it has

    The manufacturers website does not tell you what chipset it has

    But I found this

    And according to the comments, after you translate it from dutch to english, it has the right chipset
    I 'm just ordered. The chipset is from VIA grbuikt. Type: VT6421A (so it is just right for the firmware of your 360 to flash them!;)

    EDIT: you should ask on the Komplett forum on boards to make sure its the right chipset - VT6321A

    I got mine of DX for a similar price, but He said he needs it in a hurry and needs to pay with laser

    Most sellers on ebay offer postage on the same day if you buy early, and most sellers also offer paypal as their preferred payment option :)

    went for dealextreme in the end. I sent it to my place in Ireland cause i'll be back there next week for a few days and don't have a desktop here (in Holland). I was banned there about 2 weeks ago, and I've been patching ever since, but the reason i wanna access the drive is to extract my key, I've a feeling it might burn out soon. has anyone dummied one of those Samsungs from dealextreme out of interest? was it easy to do? I'm thinking of ordering one to be sure to be sure.
    (Was trying to be as vague as possible there Kinetic^ with regards to what should not be mentioned, if i overstepped what's allowed, I'm sorry)

    EDIT: I dont even have an excuse for why i typed this out! For some reason I thought you were asking has anyone done a samsung with the card.

    Your afraid your laser is going to burn out is it? Just buy a new laser, cheaper than a new drive!



    Install the drivers that are linked to on the dealextreme comment section.

    Download Jungleflasher, install the portio drivers that come with it

    If your looking to upgrade your firmware download the latest one (samsung its 1.61)

    Open jungleflasher, go to the mtk flash 32 tab , select the right address on the left, then press "read" and follow on screen instructions.
