order number 59: hitachi drive repair (eeprom reprogramming)
I had a badly flashed hitachi drive, sent it to Swaytech, and it was back with me within 3 days, working perfectly. Soldering was excellent, service was excellent, and the guy even replied to my emails within hours.
Considering the relative difficulty of that kind of thing alone it would have been good service, but as only a couple of days later he posted about the large numbers of enquiries he recieved, taking the time out to reply to emails and still sending the drive back promptly is excellent.
All in all an excellent job, excellent service, and it was cheap for what it was too

I bricked my Hitachi back in Aug. Read some posts on Swaytech and decided to send my drive for repair. VERY slick process!!!! Extremely fast turn-around considering I sent my drive from Toronto, Canada. I highly recommend Swaytech's service to anyone in need of this repair!!!!!!

Order 246...
I damaged my TS-H943A and decided to purchase a replacement hitachi drive from Swaytech. Didn't pay for the key injection as I wanted to do this myself. The drive arrived in perfect order 4 days later and had been pre-modified to a 0040 version ROM which made it flashable with my key and the xtreme firmware. All in all a great transaction which allowed me to get my xbox360 back up and running.
Thanks Swaytech.

ORDER #209
I sent my bricked hitachi for repair and thought I'd get the dual firmware mod installed at the same time. So i just received my drive and it works great. The switch for mod works great.
Stuart's service is excellent, he answered my e-mails very quickly and explained everything quite thoroughly.
Return shipping took a while but that is because mail service here in Mexico is terrible, it was by no means swaytech's fault. I recommend alternative shipping (DHL preferably) for people in latin america as they have their own people get the package through customs, the extra cost would be well worth it IMO. I would definitely consider purchasing from swaytech in the future.

ORDER NUMBER 327 XBox360 Hitachi drive re-flash. Fantastic service! After bricking my Hitachi and spending hours searching of ways to resolve this - even beeing completely let down by a local guy (
www.hit-it.co.uk - be wary of using them!) i decided to give Swaytech a go.
Best decision i've made in ages. 3 day turn arround to flash the drive to the latest firmware. answered my pestering e-mails in a timely, helpful and freindly manner.
Very high quality work. When I re-built Xbox it worked perfect.
Highly recommended.

Bricked my Hitachi 47d so I emailed Stuart. He replied quickly and answered all my questions. I sent it in from US and got it back extremely fast and it works GREAT! With the newest firmware he installed I can play my own backups now.
Excellent service, highly recommended!
Thanks to Stuart for bringing my 360 back to life!

Placed an order on 1/20/07 for a Thompson xbox drive. Did not take not of the order number at that time figuring either a) I would receive an email with all the info I needed, or b) I could later log into the site and check the status. Never received the email, and 2 days later when trying to log into the site, I could no longer log in. Tried contacting swaytech via email and the 'contact us' form listed on the website with zero response on 1/22 and 1/24 and still received no response. Product never arrived.
Filed a dispute with paypal. Ill see if that gets me anywhere or ill just file a dispute with my credit card company and let them fight with paypal.
This may have been a great store at one time, but now I think its just a site with no one behind it.

Opening a dispute in paypal seemed to work. Apparently owners are having issues with email on the site. Drive should ship Wednesday. Stuart was very quick to respond, so I will assume that my emails did not make it through.
Still not sure I would recommend this site due to the issues with them even receiving the order, however they seem to be very sorry and willing to correct the issue quickly.

ORDER #575
Bricked my Hitachi 47d so I emailed Stuart. He replied quickly and answered all my questions before he got my money. Sent in just my drive and paid for the key recovery and dual mod upgrade (Stupid on my part).
He updated the job info saying he couldn't recover keys and THAT WAS THE LAST I'VE HEARD FROM HIM (from before Dec last year)
He didn't send me the faulty drive back (might be of use in the future, if they find a was of recovering keys from the main systemboard) and he hasn't answered any of the numerous e-mails I've sent.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DEFINATLY WOULDN'T RECOMEND USING THEM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Opened up dispute in paypay.
