Hello this problem started quite a while ago back when the 13146 update first came out.
When the new update came out my drive somehow got rendered useless for reading games.
Before going to the new firmware 13146 i flashed to stock then flashed to 13146. My drive then no longer played discs. Backups, originals, and cd's. I have yet to try movies.
I initially thought this had something to do with the new firmware but was not somewhat concerned as I was not banned from XBL and I could still log on and play arcade games and be in parties, hulu, netflix etc.
After LT 3.0 I never got around to flashing it until now, and still I find this problem. Im very unsure as to what would cause this. Switched out dvd drives (unsoldered the pcb and soldered on to the new drive). Tryed reflashing to the OFW before LT 3.0 then reflash to LT 3.0 again and still nothing. Im beginning to become stumped. I just want to play my backups and keep the originals in a high place away from children.
For reference. This is a liteon drive
Original 93450C or 02150 after 13146
Replacement was a 74850C (Which shouldnt matter because the pcb's were switched). This drive was refurbished off ebay.
I will try to resolder the joints just to be sure. But I am not sure this will fix it as the drive was rendered useless after 13146 not before.
P.s. I dont find myself a noob, but not expert, but my account is too new (post count, sorry) to post elsewhere.
Any help would be welcomed, i tried to search the forums but I couldnt find anyone with the same situation.
Also I did not spoof the replacements with the old key because I do not have the PMT probe, I only have a spear from maximum (very old, forgive my error in buying from maximus). Tryed to do half tray, and probe the r707 point with the maximus spear but no dice.
