LITEON 9504 Slim 9504/0272 TX Replacement PCB Issues!

[Ploide]

Hi All,

I purchased a replacement TX PCB for my 9504/0272 Drive, flashed back to stock on the original PCB before updating to the latest dash on the console. I then flashed the new replacement TX PCB and all went fine, no errors from anywhere etc

I put the drive back together and went to play a game and the console says "Open Tray" you open the tray but it ejects SUPER fast. Then wont close all the way when you press close it just goes in about half an inch and sticks...

I did have a search through the forums and found only one other person that had a similar issue and they just reverted to their original PCB and a Sputnik 360 mod. However having paid £50gbp for the replacement PCB from TX i'd rather like to get this working.

Just to add... the flash seems fine. If i manually push the tray closed, it will boot original and backup games inc XGD3 backups fine. It just shoots them out so fast it looks like the disc tray itself is going to eject haha and then wont close on its own.

Any idea's ?

Many thanks in advance

Usual stuff to start u off - double check the wire connections - also look VERY closely at the soldered end of the wires - sometimes there has been the tiniest thread of conductive material bridging the connections.

The wires into the connector block look a little pinched but now I'm clutching at straws lol.
also - if u have like a jewelers 10x magnifier, check the IC pins make sure there are no bridges during manufacturing etc

Thanks for the quick reply i shall triple check all of the above and report back soon!

Its the Red wire, make sure its connected properly. Also, in the no solder addon, make sure that u didnt tighten the screws on the rubber, but on the wire

Thanks again.. Red wire sounds promising. When the replacement PCB arrived the red wire was disconnected at the PCB end/Solder end. I have resoldered it though and it looks like a pretty good connection (See below)

I have re-done the none-solder block ensuring that the wire is touching and no sleeving (it was ok) - Guess its time to re-solder at the PCB end and give that a shot !

 

[diaboliq20]

yeah - I think that'll be the issue - there may be a break in the wire (doubtful), but try the resolder first- although your first attempt looks solid....

 

[Ploide]

Well... I have just unsoldered, re-trimmed a fresh piece of exposed wire to solder on, soldered it back on, looks a pretty good / solid connection - but the same thing gutted!

And more idea's anyone before i have to get in touch with the supplier to arrange a return ?

Appreciate the speedy replies guys! So thanks in advance.

Solder the wires direct to the pcb.without the solderless block see how that gose.

 

[Ploide]

Yeah will give that a go... will have to make some extensions though as i cut the orig wires shorter to try and do a neater job lol - i have just tried taking the red wire from PCB to Block out of the equasion (see below) brand new cable direct from block to solder point - but no joy still the same! will try direct solder on all wires next...

 

[alyshehata]

thats wrong xD. u soldered that new black wire to the pcb and put it in the no solder addon ? solder that new black wire to the drive part of the red wire and take out the red wire that came with the tx pcb

 

[Ploide]

Nope ... that was right. However i noticed there were two wires coming from the motor (Black/Red) I have done the same with the Black wire as i have done above with the red (See Below) and its working perfect !!!!! Wooo Hooo!!!

Thanks again guys for your help i wouldnt have done it without your guidance! *thumbs up* !

 

[diaboliq20]

I was gonna say - I thought both load wires controlled the eject - anyways - happy times for u mate - well done!

 

[Ploide]

Happy Times indeed! I've been very patient waiting for this moment - now im off into my cave for a few days to play some GOW3 haha

thanks again - really appreciate it.
