yep
as much as i hate it that sounds right
try the v1.4 firmware on the samsung first.i dont think its going to help
after what all youve done i think the laser is the thing to try
you can get a meter for around 19.00usd
let us know how it goes.

I have a Hitachi 360 I may try thats brand new in the box, but am I going to run into the same issues as the m25 with the drive getting weak and such?
Its got a MFR date of 2005-11-25
I have yet to crack it open to check the version number cuz Im dreading getting the version I'd have to solder.

Excellent video
Wonder how fast I can get that connectivity kit in. You recommend the USB360 and it comes with the connectivity kit right?

OK
I have received the 360USB device and the connectivity kit.
In order to do flash the 59DJ, what programs do I need?
I watched the video but not positive where to go from here. Thanks for the direction in all this
