Xbox 360 Model Checker

This Check is for the New Black Xbox Slim Console Only Not The Phat Model

With the Slim Xbox 360 console there are some models as at April 2012 that cannot be modded work however is underway to overcome this hurdle and a fix will be available soon


Before contacting us Its Important to check the 12V current consumption information at the back of the Slim console directly above the AV plug you will find this listed 12V - DC symbol - then the DC current figure

If your 360 Slim console is the Same as Above, Says 10.83A Your 100% OK for the Reset Glitch Mod
You may be OK for DVD drive iXtreme firmware Mod or Xk3y (if your internal drive is a Liteon DG16D4S)

If your console says 9.86A it is likely to have a 16D5S Liteon DVD drive and the HANA chip missing
Your out of luck at the moment however keep an eye out on the main page of the website for the latest info
There have been instances in the past that a console with a current consumption of 9.86A have a drive that can be modded and motherboard with the hana chip this however is extremely rare.

Not 100% but another way to check what type of DVD drive you have is via the serial number of your Xbox console
This method is not a100% Guarantee though see note
This Mothod of Checking the ID via serial is not a full proof way


Check the 4th number from the right of Serial Number in this case as above serial ID is 3
XXXXXXXX3XXX : Serial Number
2 - Liteon 9502 DVD drive OK to Firmware Mod or X3key
3 - 0225 Liteon DVD drive OK to firmware mod or X3key
4 or 0 - Possible Hitachi 0500 No firmware or X3key at the moment **see note


Note***We have had over the last 2 weeks five consoles with a serial ID of 4 in theory Hitachi 0500 and they all had original 9502 firmware stamped on the drive case These console all original virgin untouched
We dumped the firmware in Jungle flasher, The dumped firmware displayed as version 0225

This happens during the system update after 13141 Microsoft change the firmware of 9502 to 0225

Its Nothing to do with Dodgy Chinese suppliers doing a shifty The drives have simply been updated
