[kryptic]

Sounds like its been flashed without a valid key,and without a back-up of the key there`s not much you can do.

[liljoker]

could i possibly change out the drive can this be done and can it fix in any way???

[lilrevuk]

No, without the key from the original drive you have a DVD player

[parminder]

yep your drive is bricked and unless you have the back up of your key then game over mate

you can replace a dvd drive that has went bad.
but
you have to have the key from that orig dvd drive firmware
as long as you are putting in the same kind of drive then you just have to input the orig key in the new firmware and flash it.
but
if you are using a different dvd drive than what was in the console orig then you have a little more you have to do
you have to put the orig key in the firmware
but also you have to spoof the new firmware so it will report to the console that it is the dvd drive it is replacing.

if you dont have the orig firmware(or at least the key)
then that console is bricked.
it will only be able to play dvd movies.
sorry man
