To flash the console we have to Jtag the console to extract the DVD drives embedded key (this matches the main board). Once we have extracted this key from the main board, then we have to replace the DVD drives control PCB with the I-Xtreme LTU replacement board.

This is due to the protection installed in the Lite On 1175 and Lite On 1532 drives, also Hitachi drives.

The process is very involved and time consuming and the cost of the replacement drive PCB is expensive, so  this is why the cost of this service is higher for the Xbox 360e flashing service we provide.
