Unconventional Hacks: Drilling Chips and Hacking PSPs Without Dying
The Kamikaze Hack for the Xbox 360 involved drilling a hole in the DVD Drive's chip to shortcut some specific wires inside the chip responsible for the read-only state. The hack was not for the faint of heart, and a steady hand was required. Multiple people ended up damaging their chips, but a significantly higher number were just impressed at how the hack simply worked! The hack wasn't useful on newer revisions of DVD Drives to the Xbox 360.
