Backups no longer playing

I have had my 360 modded a little over a month.

Backups were playing fine until just recently. now it just tries to load for a few sec then i get the open tray. It still reads my originals fine.

I have the 74850c drive, and its flashed with the lastest firmware. I also use verbatim disks. any help would be great.

Re: Backups no longer playing

Could it be possible that the drive is dying slowly ?

Sounds like the laser on the drive is dying.

Does this happen with newly burnt discs or also with discs that used to work?
Does the drive still play original games fine?

Re: Backups no longer playing

I did the pot tweak and it has been playing the backups fine since. When i read the readings with the multimeter it came out to be around 7.6 which is very high( laser not getting that much power) I tweaked it down to 3.2 and it has been working ever since.

Yes my Originals were still working just not the back ups.

I did order a new benq laser just incase the laser is infact going bad, but its been over a week now and everything has been running fine with the original laser.
