Cant detect MS28 after bad flash Any tips?

[HaGGardSmurf]

I tried to flash the 0800 FW into my MS28 so I could dump games and play them on my 1.51 console...

The flash was bad, I would put in the game, and it would read for like 2 mins, then tell me to insert into a console... I was trying to reflash it but ended up plugging the power cable in only partially, smelt a weird smell, now I get E65...

If I power the drive with my xbox, and connect it to my computer, I can eject the tray, but if its not connected to my computer I get e65 and it will not eject.

I know the port my drive is connected on, because I have the log from all the other flashes I have done (I just keep the sata plugged into the card when its not in use). In JF, if I check status, its 0x58, if I unplug the drive and check the status its 0x7F. So there must be some communication there?

Any ideas? Is this drive fried/bricked?

"E65: DVD Drive Error.... DVD Timeout, Wrong firmware, dvd is without f/w chip, etc. This can also be caused by the tray not being fully closed on boot."

This is not my work this is from cofree's thread under Board index< Consoles< Xbox 360< General Information< Error Codes

Im pretty sure if the drive will eject it's not bricked. Not sure on that but, I have heard that.

I would try restoring the original firmware with iPrep. DOS may find it easier to communicate with the drive and hopefully save it.

dont connect sata or play a game with 0800 firmware on your drive, and is it a BAD flash with 0800 or going back to CFW?

that right there
most of the time means it game over for the dvd drive man
sorry.

it is hard to brick a v28
has long as you have the orig firmware and good key

Well its weird because I can kind of communicate with it, but it never will show on any of my ports. If I were able to get it to status 0x70 I could probably do a restore.
