First, thanks for taking a look at this topic and helping me; I really do need it.
A while ago, I tried flashing my Xbox360 (it's a phat Lite-On 7C) and before I had time to dump the key or anything, I lost power so the drive turned off. When I tried again, the DVD drive just wouldn't power on (although the CK3 would for a millisecond, before turning off) As far as powering the drive with the console and using it normally, it doesn't work either; I get no response from the drive and the center light just keeps on flashing green. From what I've gathered, I think this means my Xbox360 has entered "bad flash" mode. However, some people also told me it was a short circuit and/or that the circuits/board were fried. Although I'm not sure who's right, all I need is just to get the key so I can try flashing it again.
So that's what I'd need help with; how can I get the key back, even though I can't read from my DVD drive.
I thought of one way to do it, but I'm not sure if it would work. Here it is. Somebody once told me:
The thing is, I looked at the the requirements for Jtagging an Xbox360 and my kernel is barely too high to be Jtagged. BUT, I'd like to know, how far can I possibly get into the Jtagging process AND can I get far enough to get my key back? If so, it may be a viable way (or the only way) to get back my DVD key.
If it's not possible, what can I do to play games on my Xbox360? I don't care whether I have to use discs or an external hard drive, I just want to be able to play games; and I will be happy enough even if I can only play offline.

...it depends on the motherboard. But if you have a Jasper, Zephyr or Vejle [Slim], it can be jtagged, Xell installed and you can retrieve your DVD key again, like so:
