Was wondering if I can use this method that requires me pulling out the dvd drives power plug when the disc tray is half way open then plugging it back and then use probe to grab key as shown here

So pretty much question is, can I extract the key with only probe and no Connectivity Kit? thanks

Mate my opinion if you want to extract the key off a liteon and don't want to buy the probe or kit do the mra hack i have done it to heaps of liteons and never lost a drive yet and if ya can make a probe you can do the mra hack but thats just my opinion, If your chipset supports the drive and have a way to power the drive then yes you can extract it with that probe i think.

oh shot bro, forgot to mention I bought the VIA sata card online so I should be sweet to connect it with just the probe ae?

yeah that will let you connect to your pc but how are you gonna power the drive you could use the xbox itself which is not recommended and which i have done but there is a chance you could get banned for doing it not that any of the ones i have done it with have been banned and they are all online.

Yeah I was thinking of just using the xbox to power it, and was aware could get banned, But should be sweet without the ethernet connected yeah? don't think I'd get banned though, don't really care lol

ethernet cable or not you will still get flagged.

I noticed on the video he said the USB powers the drive? so would having the usb plugged in and out power on and off the drive ?

Nah Ill just use xbox to power drive, without av cables connected it shouldn't boot and give me enough time to flash yea lol hopefully
