Did a 0401 yesterday and after marking the lines I noticed it was not the same location as the rest. It was a little to the left. Like others have said before, be sure you always use the lines.
The other thing is I had the feeling I didn't had to drill that deep as others. Can anyone confirm that the depth of the line is not always the same?

It differs per chip is my experience. Some are deeper then the other and some are a bit to the left/right Even 0225's differ from eachother, so be very carefull as always |

yeah! really, i was amazed to see my 0225 unlocked in just few touchs of the drill, it was near the surface, so the wires depth differs from chip to chip so always be careful.  |

I've noticed the different depth of the wires also. I still think the unlock wire is well above the others. Just go slow with the drilling and I should be almost impossible to hit other wires.

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. Where did you get spare pcb's? I need 3 new pcbs Don't care if they are locked or not. Prob. be best if they where untouched. if anyone know where to get spare pcbs at a decent price please send a PM or reply here  |

The best tip I can give is to poke around with a needle after every little bit of drilling you do. I drilled way too deep, expecting the program to sound an alert when I'd gone deep enough. As it turned out, though, I had already drilled through the trace, and I simply needed to touch it with a needle to send the unlock command.
The trace can be anywhere between .3 and .7 mm deep. Go look at a ruler and see how f***ing small a millimeter is.

Very silly mistake today. Drilled one 0225, got status 0x00. Only then I noticed it's MXIC and not Winbond! (MFR date 2010-09)
Drive still ejected/closed fine, but read didn't work anymore (didn't test drive if it still read originals). I tried erase and write and it wrote OK, all four lines. But verify of course didn't work since it can't read it.
Now after write, drive doesn't give any life signs at all. No eject/close or laser movement on power-on. Is it time to get a new Mediatek chip or is this situation maybe salvageable?
EDIT: i can still get drive to 0x72, reading always stops after about 10 seconds with "unknown flash" - no dots, but can still erase and write fine.

Are you using Via 6421? It won't read slim drives any more without modifications. XUSB works fine, though. It sounds like just a bad firmware flash. BTW, I believe the drilling method does work for MXIC, it's just much riskier than the Spartan method. Also, take off the drive housing and see if the center motor spins. |

I'm using XUSB. I've done about 10 drives now without problem. Write seems OK, just read always fails. No movement from motor, laser or eject since that write.

Reading Bank 0: Dump Failed ok, now erase your drive and make it blank. disconnect everything including usb pro, power supply for dvd drive and after some time, conect all and write your firmware by doing intro/dev id to enter vendor mode. note you will go immediately on vendor mode when your drive is blank, no need to mpower cycle. i think this may help you. this is how i do when i am stuck on same positions as yours but with vt6421. |
