I have had the same problem here, I powered down the box and brought it back up several times, and it started working. Very odd. But by drive has had trouble reading DVD's before the mod so I did not think much about it at first. This weekend it did it alot, Games would apear to be blank. I brought up the box with X3 off and games worked fine.

confused about flashing xbox from lt 1.0 to 1.1

I have a liteon 74850c. I flashed it with ixtreme lt v1.0. To flash to lt v1.1, do I need to do the soldering mod?

If I do, where can I buy it in the US? The website only shows 2 uk places.

Do you have the LT Switch or something similar soldered to the LiteOn drive? You will need to get the drive in vendor mode to flash again, which requires the use of the MRA hack (you can use something like the LT Switch - I use this). Then just load the original LiteOn 74850c firmware (called 74850C.BIN, found in LiteOn_iXtreme_LT_v1.1.rar\LiteOn_iXtreme_LT_v1.1\liteon orig) as target and your dummy.bin (either one) as source - spoof source to target and flash!
