Team Xecuter Blaster 360 NE (Next Edition)
New Version
The Xecuter Blaster 360 NE is an external switching device when, once fitted, allows you to flash your DVD Firmware without ever having to open up your Xbox 360 case ever again. In the era of constant firmware updates (30+ so far) this is an absolutely essential tool saving both time and effort, making the firmware update process a walk in the park. Also dumping your game backup to your PC is now a fast and simple process. A perfect ergonomic design means there is no soldering and no cutting of the external case - just plug 'n' go. You only ever have to open up your case once! No longer will you have to have your Xbox 360 in pieces all the time, no longer will you have to take the Xbox apart every time you need to update new features and functions or essential bug fixes, no longer do you have to have your Xbox 360 in bits every time you want to dump a game backup to your PC.
It was designed to be as ergonomically sound as the Xbox 360 itself. Its functionally perfect and works so good that Team Xecuter believes all firmware modders will be using this as standard by the end of the year, it just makes life SO MUCH EASIER AND QUICKER!
Includes a free 360 Unlock Tool plus Torx10 screwdriver!

Some Questions & Answers:
Q: What is it ?
A: The Blaster 360 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: A three part answer this one
1. on a virgin 078. no
2. on a flashed 078 (using slax for modeb) with the fw hacked to fix modeb. it should - ive not tested
3. with x78 fitted - yes (it fixes modeb)
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: 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.
