HITACHI NON-79 my hitachi 78 died after updated to lt+ 2.0

[daimaku]

hello, after flashing my hitachi 78 with the new lt+2.0, i have tried ninja gaiden 2 and it has worked just fine, but when i try to run a backup of batman arkhan city, the hitachi dvd-rom just die, i heard the unit trying to read the disc, and after that the unit has open and now, the tray remains always open.

i have returned the drive to stock firmware and i have flashed the dvd again, but still the same, with the stock and the flashed firmware the tray is always open.

can somebody help me to fix this ? or my xbox just die?

thanks in advance for all the help.

Does the drive take two presses to eject?

If so, simply power the drive on and close the drive tray then power it off and try again.

Hitachis have been known for dying during flashes

it will open when i power on the xbox 360, if i put a disc in it and i will close the tray, when it close it will open again, it will not remain close.

it's weird because when i try to power down the unit, the tray close and just before the power is going down the tray will be open again and remains open.

It sounds like it is "stuck" in Mode B, send Mode B to the drive using JungleFlasher and then power cycle.

i have send the mode b with jungleflasher, then power down the computer and then the xbox 360, restore the wires, turn on the xbox 360 and still the same.

the drive is not getting close, always tray open, seems like the controller of the drive is thinking that open is close and close is open, i thnik that because when the tray is open the yellow light is in normal state but when i try to close the tray for the 2 or 3 seconds the yellow light is flashing, (that state when the xbox was normal happend when the tray is open)

any ideas on how to solve this ?

thats drive's pcb has died. seen it loads of times and never once cured it any other way than replacing the pcb. another reason hitachi's are regarded as the worst drives in history lol

 

[daimaku]

can i change the drive of my xbox 360 (maybe for a lite-on) or i need to buy another xbox 360?

 

[piromaniac]

Spoofing tons liteon is a no go in afraid, new Hitachi drive PCB, or a complete drive.

 

[daimaku]

i understand, i have a hitachi 59 drive for another xbox that have dead for the three red light ring, can i use that ?

 

[garageinc]

no you must use a 79 drive as the 59 is not ap2.5 capable and the 79 is so you will have issues

Got a 78 here , where abouts are you , i`m in the uk

 

[daimaku]

i'm in venezuela

 

[krypt1c]

ok bit far to send then , sorry.

i'm in venezuela

 

[garageinc]

you only need the pcb from a 78 drive not the complete drive. i sent a pcb recorded delivery to portugal from the uk and it cost £7. you could then flash your key to it and install it in the drive you already have. the person sending you the pcb may even flash it for you if you ask and email them the key.

 

[krypt1c]

I will leave it in his hands then

 

[garageinc]

i didn't mean i was going to send it if thats what you think mate, i stopped flashing for others a long time ago now.

 

[krypt1c]

Lol , no m8 i meant i will leave it in the hands of the op.

i didn't mean i was going to send it if thats what you think mate, i stopped flashing for others a long time ago now.
