LITEON 0225 Fried from stupid mistake, possibly repairable, would appreciate any advice

[DaveidWeba]

As the title might suggest, I did the stupidest thing you could probably do. I was prepping a friend's Liteon 0225 mxic drive for reading when idiotically.. I put the power cable in upside down. :facepalm:

A bad smell and quick shut off later, I realized what I just done. I've been flashing drives as a hobby for my friends since 2009, and never once have I made this stupid mistake. It pretty much happened because of my poor vision, but that's another story all together.

Well the damage has been done, lets not dwell in the past. I'm wondering where I should proceed from here. My friend just bought this 360 new, not even a week ago, with the intend of having me mod it. So it may be possible to replace it with a used or refurbished version, but I haven't even explored those options yet.

My main priority right now is finding out how repairable this board is and how much that will cost. I'm actually prepared to buy this man a brand new 360 if it comes down to it, but I'm exploring my options for now.

TL,DR : Upside down power cable, need experts to assess the damage and offer advice

To my knowledge, this is the only thing that appears to have broken.

did you get the drive key off of the drive or did you fry it before that

Fried it before, unfortunately. I would be in a totally different situation if it was after, I would have probably just bought an unlocked PCB and continued on with my life, but nope. I royally screwed myself.

Thanks for the fast response, btw.

Then you need the reset glitch hack, i'm sure the board is beyond repair, but dont throw it away tho spare parts is always good t have.. But you need at least a new pcb, perhaps new laser aswell if it was connected atm.

Thanks, I will consider the Reset Glitch Hack.

I'm going to do some research tomorrow, but if you already know any helpful guides I'd more then appreciate it

the reset glitch hack will be your best option, see martin c im sure he can retrieve the key for you sou you can flash it onto a new pcb.

TeaJunkie is the main man for fixing fried boards, he is based in the UK though, but does worldwide shipping I believe.

Ouch, both these guys are based in the UK, huh? Shipping costs and travel time is gonna be a buzz kill. I'll keep these noted as a last resort, thanks guys! :smile:

i think this is there website m8

Have alook, these guys are 110% pro, and know what their doing

Edit: Just bridge r1 with solder and unplug all ribbons and read your key, it will work. But remember to put the cable in the right way

If it is just that resistor that has gone just remove it and bridge the gap with a bit solder as its just a 0ohm resistor
