What's new

Starting from Liteon firmware version 83850 V2, there has no easy to extract the key. Thanks to MRA at XBH, he figured out a way to extract the key with lifting the legs of the chip. However, it still requires soldering wires on the PCB.

In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to extract the key from a 83850 V2 or 93450 without soldering anything on the PCB.

Tools required

You will need access to 3.3V and GND, thus you need our own brand of DVD power adapter, which has easy access to 3.3V and GND.

  1. XBOX 360 case opening tool with TORX bit. Buy from [here] or [here]
  2. Access to your PC's native SATA port, or a PCI to SATA card. A VT6421A powered PCI to SATA card works best. USB to SATA convert does NOT work. Buy VT6421A PCI to SATA controller card from [here] or [here]
  3. A XBOX DVD power adapter. Buy from [here], [here], [here], [here]
  4. TIAO's 83850V2 and 93450 Solderless Key Extractor. Buy from [here] or [here]

Once you have the DVD drive removed from your XBOX 360, remove the cover and then locate the two screws and remove them:
