need help please

so here goes............

I purchased an elite off of ebay with good warranty seal and it stated would read games (would play movies). I got it in and it had a lite-on drive so I ordered usbextractor from canada and got it in yesterday. I just got time and messed with it today. The warranty sticker looked good and I opened the console. When I did the dvd drive had two of those foil tapes and it looked as though the sticker was broke on the side of the drive. I read it with the extractor got all the information and use Jungle to open the dummy as firmware source then i opened benq ix1.6 as target and clicked spoof to target. I erased the drive and flashed it. every thing seemed to go well but.............It is still not reading any games originals or backups but will read dvds. What can I do I am lost at this point. also when i put game in drive it says put in an xbox 360 console to play. Thanks in advance for any and all help.

maybe it is a PAL xbox.
Have you tried any PAL games?

As far as I know it is like that : Only read DVD's = FW problem
Does not read anything= laser problem

I tried call of duty 5 region free and it gives same message. Anymore ideas?

open your firmware up and have a look at your key. sounds like you have a faulty key

key: 5643316A1DFE3EAC2D047C0B41759D12? Looks good to me any more ideas.

if you get "to play this game put it in a 360" normaly means bad key

try and reflash the drive!! also did it work b4 you flashed it

I bought it off of ebay and that is how it came. I have tried flashing it again with no success. I just says play dvd and screen says put in an xbox 360 console to play. Only reason i bought was for a spare and it had warranty sticker. I dont know i have tried everything I know.

[commando_lee]

did you try the console b4 you flashed it??

do you have another drive??? that you can use to test it just in case its a faulty drive.

I had a fulty sammy come to me would play any dvd and music, but would not play a game. I flashed the spare drive with the info from the sammy and it worked.

[harley5185]

I did try it b4 and all it would do is say play dvd as it does now. I do have a spare benq and spoofed it to the lite-on with the key and all it does same thing.

[commando_lee]

i would say you have a wrong key then mate.

sorry

[harley5185]

well just my luck. I am reading the benq now just to make sure the correct key is in the firmware. Also you think I could put the warranty sticker back on and send it in to Microsoft and they fix it? Thanks for all your help and quick response.
