It seems that the method discovered by staff of "Cursos Games" is being accepted!

I wouldn't call using a different tool to make the hole, a new method, per se. I wouldn't expect any recognition if I did it with a fork for instance.

Geremia was the first to bring it to public attention, and it has been dubbed the kamikaze method.  

I'm happy to stick with that.

Undoubtedly, credits to the great Geremia without it perhaps would not be possible!
Geremia The best!

anyone with the non spinning drive motor manage to get it working again? I've noticed it happens when drilling too low and the drive eject gets affected at the same time, drive eject fixed with the resistor and pout method but drive still don't spin.

Did my First WB drive...too easy with my 200X microscope.
all I can Say is The Marking You make is the most important step...

Check the Marks on the Chip at least 5 Times before even considering to Drill...

Geremia is the Legend. He's the one always working and sharing all his discovery for free.
and others are just perfect it

^ this, and f*** off "cursos games", that guy takes the info posted in public and charge $#!t loads from noobs teaching them saying he discovered the methods. Burn.

and BTW, i think that it's more accurate to drill with the dremel of whaterer you want that burn WB with an iron solder. but, of course, this is my opinion.

Yeah i'm agree. "practice makes perfect"

Dremel Makes only cuts to the tracks you need.
Where the soldering irons Heat is not isolated to only the wires you need to cut,
hence more chance of damaging other Stuff (resulting in open tray errors, No eject errors etc),
Soldring Iron also produces a lot of False Positive....

how do these chips get installed to the board in the first place? the chips also have high temperature tolerances...

[deepeastoak]

then check your key if it is right .
and if stil  play dvd error try to flash it with the lt plus 1.9 0272

I took another 9504 slim drive that hasn't been on live and hasn't been locked and dropped the 0272 firmware threw it on the original slim and the damn thing booted up.  The one I kamikazed seems fubared but I'm not sure what I didn't wrong since there isn't an eject problem just issues reading games.  TX pcbs still avail?

Spent some time with Maximus over the mx and wb flashes, while the mx is a piece of cake, the WB is a bitch.
There were at least 3 solutions for WB, some more risky, this is less risky one, even if it's not noob friendly.
It's even not so much techical in comparison to the others one that had few success rate, or against the ones that had lot of effort and got no result.
There are also other possibilities for a software only way, but it's like going blindly searching for a fantomatic "winbond manufacturer mode" (how the hell do they write the serial numb in there? there must be a way), but actually i'm getting lazy.

C4eva respect and others, however, like an opinion from Geremia over whether it is possible to actually own writing in 0225

Sorry no Geremia,no Maximus,no Jesus able to write this

Soft soundtrack for cooling a bit, ok?

Btw, since fw out here have some small differences, prior to go erasing and writing, would be usefull to have fulldump (0225,0225u,0401,xxxx+) ... if you have an app/device that can do it o.c.


As usual, use at your own risk, i don't care. Hate it or love it, i don't care.

Special thanks to Maximus for cooperating and for supplying test ICs.

esto también sirve para liteon slim 1071

i think i got a little lost here .
do i still need to use the 100 ohm resisitor when using the soldering iron  to drill ?

Hot Air Rework on an unmodified chip is a different story.
You are Drilling Into the Chip , reducing thermal resistance (no more silicon to protect the Delicate components inside...)........
Makes sense to ME......

But i don't have a PHD in Electromagnetism or something...

[nirbeltran]

could ay one please confirm if the 100 ohm resistor is needed or not ?

[tingedace]

Lots of people have done it without the 3.3v / resistor (including me) so no, it's not needed.

Well, everyone, although you may be sucessed without the 100ohm resistor, but pls see my understanding and explanation.
If you dont have 100 ohm resistor, then while drilling with 3.3v after the instance of cutting through the wp pin, your 3.3v may touch the ground anytime and any instance and in some case to protect the chip, the mt1335we may reset itself leaving the vendor mode and restarting again, so this may cause the chip to reset or permanently damage itself, so if u have 100 ohm resistor and in case you touch the gnd while drilling, the 100 ohm will act as load and prevent the mx1335we to reset or get damaged. That is what i understand, if it was not needed, then of course master Geremia would had omitted it. Thanks.

[bluemimmos]

with lots of courage, i tried to do one 0225 but i t eventually died, no spinning of disk and no eject, but bought another 0225 main pcb and this time did, with another engraving bit and digged slowley and eventually i sucessed with sucess.
so my points:
1) be very patience.
2) measure and mark very correctly, that is the key to sucess.
3) Clean it and see time by time.

Sorry I meant you don't need to use the 3.3v OR the resistor. Clearly if using the 3.3v you would be well advised to use the resistor. :-)

[nirbeltran]

thx
that was my question , sorry if i wasn't clear on that
