Hi,
I just finished reading the DVD key using USB Pro and CK3i.
Then I installed the TX replacement PCB.
Now I check all the connections. I saw that the black and red terminals are shorted.
Is this normal or something wrong with the drive?
Thanks.

The PCB is fine.
After I cut the wire from the original PCB, I tried to use a multimeter to probe the black and wire leads. The multimeter indicated these 2 points are short.

(mistyped just now)

I just wanna know whether it is supposed to be so or something not right with the drive.

I did this troubleshoot because I could not flash the drive after getting the key.

Here is the log:

Sending Vendor Intro to port 0x0000
Status 0x80
Re-sending Vendor Intro:
.........................................................................................
Serial flash found with Status 0x72

Sending Device ID request to port 0x0000
Spi Status: 0x80
Manufacturer ID: 0x80
Device ID: 0x80
Flash Name: Unknown type
Flash Size: n/a

If you are checking with your meter and you put a lead on the red and the other lead an black you will read a closed circuit if you read each lead separate end to end it depends if you go from tx poard to end of drive lead wires it will read a closed circuit as well (( short)) like someone else said post your install picks with your exact test points hope this helps.:)

Yap, I checked by probing 1 end to black and 1 end to red. I got closed circuit. As u mentioned, this is normal. So I can rule out this from my troubleshooting now.
Btw, of course if I probe 2 ends of the same wire, I have to get closed circuit. I'm noob but not that noob. Hehe...
Thanks for the clarification.

I also read this in the JungleFlasher tutorial. I followed exactly same. However, after I pressed 'Yes' and power cycle, the spi lock button was not shown up. As you can see from the log I posted, both 'Flash name' and 'Flash size' were 'NA'. So I had no way to 'write' to the TX PCB.

When I plugged the CK3i to the TX replacement PCB, the green LED on the CK3i (indicating CK3i power) turns off. The PCB also got quite hot at some resistors.
When I removed the TX replacement PCB, the green LED is back on.

Is that the indication that I already damaged the replacement PCB?
