Xecuter Blaster360 FAQ
>> From Team Xecuter:
[QUOTE]
First we would like to thank you all for sending us your questions. We have answered the most popular ones for now and the rest that are not listed will be posted soon.
Any more questions are welcome:
* Q: What is it ?
A: The Blaster 360(more info) is switching tool that enables you to plug in your SATA cable or X360USB externally to the Xbox 360 to be able to flash update your firmware without openeing the case again.
* Q: Do I have to open up the case to install this?
A: Yes, just once.
* Q: How long does it take to install?
A: In our experience about 5 minutes.
* Q: Do I need any special tools to open up the case.
A: We recommend the Xecuter Unlocking Kit V2. This includes a tool to open up the case itself and a Torx10 screwdriver. This is available at all Xecuter stockists.
* Q: Can I flash my Samsung with USB with the Blaster 360.
A: Nope. The Blaster is an external switching device, it does not give any flash update capabilities. You have to use SATA for Samsung or the X360USB for Hitachi.
* Q: Can I use this on an Hitachi 078 model?
A: Two part answer. First no as you cannot flash update the 078 model. Second Part however is that we are working on something nice so that you can flash update your 078.
* Q: Wow FANSTASTIC (to the above question) what is it? where is it? how much? when can I buy? etc etc
A: Like we said its a work in progress and another product - you'll see soon
* Q: Do I have to solder anything?
A: There is absolutley no soldering required. There is simply a couple of plug sockets.
* Q: Do I have to cut the case?
A: There is absolutley no physical damage to the exterior of the case.
* Q: What is the mode switch for?
A: To switch between Modeb and standard (Modeb for Hitachi, Standard forSamsung)
* Q: Does the Blaster360 use the Xbox power supply?
A: Nope. You use an external Molex power supply (or PSU). This isolates the Blaster360 function to be completley safe and seperate from the Xbox 360 itself.
* Q: How does the Blaster360 turn on ?
A: When you connect the external Molex PSU the Blaster360 auto switches to "External Mode". When you disconnect the Molex PSU it auto switches to Xbox360 mode. Of course you must NEVER plug in the molex psu and the xbox360 psu at the same time. Lots of smoke (probably)
* Q: How much is it?
A: We are currently optimizing costs and will announce a retail price shortly. It won't be cheap but won't be expensive either. Bear in mind we operate a high quality design and r&d policy which is expensive for us. No cheap china knock offs here.
* Q: Where can I pre-order?
A: We will announce stockists in the next few days.
* Q: Can I dump game data to my PC using this?
A: Yes you can
* Q: What is the LED Glow feature ?
A: Simply put its a strip of green light that pulses. Gimmick? Yes. Required? No. Cool. Absolutley
* Q: Can you disable the LED - cus I hate LEDS?
A: Yes you can You can also set the LED to be permanently on if you don't like the glow feature.
* Q: Can you flash the Samsung MS28 drive as it requires some switching on and off to get it to work with SATA ?
A: Yes you can. We have included an MS28 on/off switch to make it very simple. (It is essentially a power on / off switch as on the connectivity kit v2)
* Q: Do I need the connectivity kit?
A: Nope. All those functions are built into the Blaster 360.
* Q: Where can I find install instructions?
A: We will post detailed instructions shortly.
