I wish people would stop thinking that unhooking your xbox from the internet will keep you from getting banned when you play an early release or a burnt game. It doesnt matter if you disconnect your internet, HD, memory stick, brain.....as soon as you connect to live again your xbox sends any/all of...

just reading on another forum and read some people can still access live if they take the "backup" disc out of their drive. They are able to talk to friends, access xbl content and games just like they arent banned, but as soon as the disc is back in the drive the ban message comes back ag...

I havent been banned yet but 2 guys that ive modded their consoles for have been. 1 has a hit47 with 1.51 and the other is a benq with 1.6. The only thing that either of them has in common is Forza 3. Everyone else that ive done mods for havent reported to me anything yet. One of the guys got forza ...

I would also make sure you didnt put the power cable back into the drive upside down. If so you could have created that burn smell and possibly fried your drive.

Ok, thanks for the link.

If nothing seems to work, I could always just get another laser assembly right? or is there more involved with that then just swapping them out.

I have a pretty good idea of whats going on (i think) from what Ive ready but I figured Id ask here. Flashed my friends Hitachi 47 drive a few months back. He just decided recently to start playing it and the games I had given him weren't working. I thought maybe the flash was bad since regular game...

I was having the same problem, the way i solved it was using slax to put the drive in vendor mode, once i did it popped up in JF. Unsure if it will work for you but it was the way I got around to see the drive.

Well theres a guy locally here in seattle that I brought mine to before I decided to start doing it myself for people. Ive had this guys xbox for about a week or so now, Im just gonna give it back to him for now and do some more research on the liteons to see if theres something i missed before I ge...

That didnt work also......I think im throwing in the towel for the time being on lite-ons. I just cant figure out why its not working and Im doing everything by the book. Who knows, maybe ill try a different one in a week or so and it'll work lol.

anyone have any ideas?

Im beating my head into the wall trying to figure this out. I cant seem to pull the key no matter which way I go. JF says serial data is bad everytime using the probe or even bridging with a screwdriver. Its showing the lite-on drive on my via sata card and if I have the usb plugged in it shows it o...

Ok, I got my via card and I can now see the dvd drive on JF and everything checks out. Now when I put the probe in the r707 hole and push the get key button on JF i keep getting serial data is bad. is my probe gone?? Ive tried to bridge r707 with a screwdriver and keep getting the same thing over an...

none of those are a problem, I just wanted to make sure that if I was going to do the screwdriver bridge I would go about doing it the same way but instead of putting the probe in the 707 hole I would just bridge the connection points.

Thanks

ok, next question. I have a via card coming so with any luck my no detection problems will disappear. Now what I need to know is if my ck3 probe did in fact die....is there another way to extract the key instead of having to order another probe and waiting over a month to get it like last time. Ive ...

So I was just reading up some more on if anyone has had the same problem as me on the net and found another forum where someone was stating the same thing: his bios was detecting the drive but as soon as he opened up JF it wasnt detected....the com port was checking out fine but when he cycled throu...
