because if there is a problem with it after flashing, the log will tell the experts here where you have gone wrong. making it easier for them to help you sort your problems out.
my 3 top tips are.
1 follow the jf guide (in the jf documentation folder),
2 have the tutorial open to follow for reference whilst doing the job,
3 SAVE & BACKUP EVERYTHING

Seems there would be a lot more than 3.....
1) Ensure you have the right equipment to do the job
2) Ensure you are familiar with said equipment and hardware to be used on
3) Read the manual time and time again, and have it open at the steps you are taking
4) Double check everything above (if you wanna be cautious)
5) Don't be afraid to ask to for help... that what the forums are for - But DO make sure you have searched the forums first, so many people have had exactly the same issue time and time again

Why would he follow the jrunner guide to flash f/w to his dvd drive?, And how is he gonna practice flashing equipment, You either flash a drive or you don't.
Maybe you mean the jungleflasher tutorial included when you download it.

1.) Always use Jungle Flasher / JF Tutorial
2.) X360 USB Pro will make your life easier (especially with the slim)
3.) E-mail yourself a copy of your DVD key

Of course the USB molex wouldnt have worked for eject or playing a cd, it's only 5v !
Eject/Play cd requires a full 12v supply
This is well documented, don't blame it on anything other than the fact you didn't read how that particular cable worked.
1- Follow the JF tutorial
2- Save your key in 2 different media
3- Do things slowly specially when unlocking Slims
4- Don't panic as long as you have your key. It's fixable

1. If you are doing multiple consoles, label each one (JA01,ZE02, XE03, FA04) and save the firmware and drive key in a separate folder for each. This way, re-flashing will be cake.
2. Never use your Xbox to power the drive. Suck it up and buy the TX products.
3. Follow the instructions to the letter. The tuts are perfect and have never failed me.
4. Don't spoof drives.
5. Never throw hardware away. As your knowledge expands, you will learn how to fix what you once thought to be broken. If not, I am sure someone will want it!
That is all I can think of!

I can give you one tip when you have your dvd drive key...Just write the key down on the dvd drive Casing...You will never lose the key at all

exactly, writing down just your key won't help you if you have a flashed slim.
you need the full dummy.bin or a lite-ofw.bin

follow the tx guides
have correct equipment for correct drive
always save your key / dummy.bin (i email myself and put it on cd disc as well as been saved in JF)
save JF log and put that in the email and on the disc as well
IF you not sure then check twice before doing it.
