Hello
Got a friends sammy drive here and the drive stucked on ejecting, so i put an extra ring on the magnet. After that the tray keeps ejecting so i removed the ring again. But the problem now i the tray keeps ejecting but everything looks fine... only the laser was not shining the red light but after replacement sane results. So is there someone who had the same problem and know how to fix this
thx

You fried the southbridge "tray status" pin. So it thinks the tray is in middle of either closing or opening then the power led will never stop blinking and it will keep sending the eject command for the DVD drive.

hi, i need a bit of help too, i made a bit of a crap job bridging the solder points on a liteon, i managed to dump the files needed and did the ixtreme. when i put the drive into the 360 i had the power light blinking and ejecting tray. i bought a benq drive of ebay thinking this would sort my problem . i still get the open tray message but it has stopped ejecting constantly. the only way i can get a game to load is change the console settings to boot straight from disk on startup instead of the 360 dash .i did put the old liteon back in the 360 without de-soldering the points. have i fried something?cheers for any help

Try opening/closing the tray with the console on while it's upside down. I've had success on 2 different consoles with the same problem doing this. Also, you can try unplugging the power and manually closing the tray (completely closed if you can), and add power again.

If it works upside-down, it's a mechanical issue, not the board.

I do NOT give support by email, PM, ICQ or whatever. Anyone annoying me that way will have his balls removed. With a rusty butterknife. Slowly. And I'll enjoy doing it.

l_oliveira:
Do you have any experience with repairing a console with this issue? I have a spare console which constantly ejects the drive tray regardless of the model. I checked the tray status line and it hangs around 2.6v when open and 0v when closing.
I did have some luck with a Hitachi drive powered by a connectivity tool. The console read the Forza 3 disc that was loaded (on boot) and then updated the console to 7371. After that it would not read again, probably because the console does not know what to do when the drive power plug is not connected to the drive. The drive spins up but the console still see's the tray as being open.
Anyone know of any tricks to get this going?

I have a fix for this. You must bridge the tray status line to 3.3v, but the trick here is to bridge it before the resistor [R1R4] that leads to the dvd connector. This console is a falcon and I have only tested this fix with a Hitachi 78 drive. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 presses of the eject button to read a game but this is only since I flashed the nand with XBR. It was working without issue before XBR so I suspect it's just one of the beta bugs. Before this fix it would constantly eject the tray regardless of drive model.  The yellow wire is connected to the tray status line and was routed to the top for testing. Just join the two red dots with a piece of kynar wire. Edit- Tested with a liteon drive and it functions as it should. Only small issue with this fix is that if the tray is open and the console is powered off, the tray doesn't have time to close. Just close it before powering off. |

Tested , pin4 from 0.02v now 3.3v and Tray is Ejecting exactly same like before, I press close tray , it closed and after 1sec ejecting again by it self, so it not help me... |

Try a different drive before messing with the control lines. It sounds like a drive fault.

Just a quick thank you. Thanks to this thread I was able to fix a customers drive that was ruined by two previous 'professionals'  The drive wouldn't even show up in the list when using dosflash. Cleaned it up (solderr everywhere, pieces of trace ripped off) and using this fix ( http://www.dream.pic.fi/kuvat/Xbox%20360/Liteonin%20salat/Myrkky%20FIX.JPG/full) brought it back to life. Then applied MRA the usual way, got a dump and used a new drive to fix his xbox. Also it had the ejecting issue (drive would eject constantly and blink all the time) which I solved with the 3.3v bridge on the bottomside of the mainboard of the xbox itself as per this thread Bottomline : great community and even better members here  |
