LITEON 83850 v1 installing new replacement drive, key not found

[ill800]

the drive itself will open and close, but it wont stay closed. always says opening. power button always blinks. wouldnt surpirse me if the drive itself was bad. got it off ebay, but from a reputable dealer. the only other drive i have is the one i burned up. it still powers on but wont read discs.

Try reflashing the drive in Dos using DosFlash 16,also are you sure that the rebuilt dummy file that you've built is 100% correct? The drive that you've got you said is a replacement or refurb,have you checked to see if someone hasn't tried and botched a Kamikaze hack on it? I have only seen this problem on failed kamikazes where the drive just says opening then closing but nothing happens and the center power led just flashes all the time

Why would you kamikaze a liteon 8 series phat drive?

I only said that he has to check to see if the pcb is damaged,and someone sold it to him as he said he isnt sure if it's a refurb or replacement,I know that the Kamikaze isnt for the 8 series LO,its just a suggestion..
