i have a Sammi ts-h943 drive and i have bought a replacement drive which is exactly the same, how do i transfer the old dvd key to the new one? i thought id done it correctly but when i put the new drive in my xbox it has 3 RED flashing lights which it didnt before id changed the drive, has this anything to do with the new drive or is the xbox just broken? Thanks for any help.

Right have you flashed SAM_OFW from the Samsung_Post_13141 folder ??

What you do is load your original dump in the open source firmware it will ask to to auto load fw say no then you manually load SAM_OFW from the Samsung_Post_13141 folder to the open target firmware then click spoof source to target then you unlock the sammy and write the fw ...

4 counts as 0.

So your secondary error code is 0102.

Your GPU needs a reflow. It's not related to your DVD drive.

You don't need a reball station, but you certainly don't blast it with a hot air gun/paint stripper. :facepalm:

Pretty easy to fix with a proper SMD hot air station and a preheater.

You said you tried the hot air gun fix and it turned the GPU into popcorn.

The kits off eBay all use paint strippers to try and "reflow" a GPU, and thus are one of the most popular fixes... shortly after the "towel trick"... both of which cause more harm than good.

Agreed there... I've fixed 8 consoles with my setup so far, but I don't consider myself a pro...

Three 0102 units, two 0020 units and three E74 units.

OP, I am pretty damn sure you've got a Xenon motherboard due to the fact you've got a Sammy drive... so that error code will be related to your GPU dying, not your DVD drive flash.
