Re: **Warning** Serial data is bad ??

I didn't have a official probe, (I built my own) but the first probe I built gave me that error. I took my time with the 2nd probe, tested it in Hyperterminal and then it worked.

Try to get a signal from Hyperterminal just to see if it's working. Again this was troubleshooting my own. :|

Re: BENQ reads Original 360 games, dvd movies, NO Backups

Alright, then we know its the laser. 360 drives were designed specifically to read 'originals', we have made the 360 do something its not intended to do, which is read backups. Since your laser is weak, it may still be strong enough to read originals, but not strong enough to read backups. ok I agr...
