GENERAL Use Slim Liteon pcb in Phat Liteon Drive

[dx5512]

Hi, I have seen people take a Slim Liteon 16D4S PCB and put it into a Phat Liteon 16D2S Drive, and I really want to do this since my slim liteon drive is shot (PCB is fine) and all I have is a phat liteon drive as a spare. I'm pretty sure this will work since the phat and slim liteon's pcb looks exactly the same. Is this O.K.?

They are nothing alike in any way.

Although the laser ribbon looks the same the phat has an extra pin they deffo don't look the same but if you swap the laser and PCB I cannot see why it woudnt work

i'm just asking if it would work and be safe.

 

[sarah1331]

No it won't at all be live safe
Spoofing is never supported either

Ps. Use a hack saw to cut the width of the phat drive


Edit. Think I miss read you going to use your orig PCB if yes it would be safe yes. Sorry

Well I don't really think its spoofing since ur using the same pcb and key that orginially came with the slim.

Safe....... it's not possible unless you can perform magic :facepalm:

Two completely different drives and layouts if you can make that f**king thing fit you must be paul daniels.

[sarah1331]

just buy another liteon slim drive, get the key off your pcb, flash it to new drive and sell the pcb to make some pennies back

 

[dx5512]

the motor and laser, so instead of replacing them which is a big pain, I might as well just get a new drive.

 

[sarah1331]

Lasers are not the same sorry bud

Buy a 16d4s put your PCB in and sell the one you buy

It's suprising how people will take anyones advice on a forum eh? I must admit TJ, i had a good laugh in this thread, priceless!

BTW, why dont you just use any pcb from any drive, they all look the same, in some way
