Just a quick update I gave up and got a pre-flashed drive so all is well now. Hehe could almost have brought a new xbox (10+70)

Lol fair point. so the tail grows stranger. Now having got it working and seeing that normal dvd's and games work i thought i'd flash it again. Turns out this wasn't on of my best ideas. Now i get an error 65 which is bad firmware flash :( I know that it might just be that the draw isn't closed trus...

Lol should have looked into it a bit more before i stuck it in there. Maybe should put a tut up there for other thick people like me or just a reminder some where.

Love playing this game play it online with my bro all the time. Human tennis is great fun

Just done a search for replacing the xbox 360 laser and discovered that you have to remove a lump of solder off the new laser. I was completely unaware of this. There's something else for me to try over the weekend if i can find my soldering kit!

LOL Free week it only cost 10.95 p a day for live, for this were getting a free xbox live arcade game. This works out at about £6.50 ish. Seems like a good deal to me 650/10.95 is about 60 days worth of live. I don't see how something like this could be free, especially if you wanted all the feature...

Had a quick play with the rubber band method worked a little can read normal dvd's. Do you think it might have been caused by using the x12 firmwear. Might try flashing it with the x8 one see if that helps. Gonna get an army of rubber bands

Thanks for the quick responce, I've been looking on and off when works allows and found a few things that might fix it, replace the laser, replace the drive, adjust the pot on the laser or my hopefull fav an elastic band. It seems that the laser can start to read the disk to early and start reading ...

Hullo, this is an awesome site and very helpfull. Now for the fun stuff. I was having problems flashing my drive every time I would turn it on while I was booted from the USB drive I would get the overflow error. I managed to read the firmware and thought I was really clever by restoring the hacked ...
