HELP!! Hitachi v78, removed black epoxy but now the tray wont open?

[stickybudd]

I have just removed the black $#!t from a v78 and i thought i would test it before removing the chip, when i power on the 360 the power light stars to flash like an earlier version hitachi when its in mode b, the dash board loads up but the tray wont open. I have opened the tray by the white lever under the disc tray and put a game it to see if it spins up but it dosn't, however the lazer moves like its trying to read the disc but the motors aint spinning. I have tested for continuity between the motor connecors on the board and the points on the motor and it has continuity so i havn't damaged the connectors. When i try to open the tray it says opening at the bottom of the dashboard and after a few seconds changes to closeing and then to open tray.

What could have happened while removing the black epoxy? i am 100% sure i have not removed any componants from the board with the epoxy. Please help as i really need to fix this drive. Thanks for your help.

You sure you reconnected all the cables on the pcb? Very simple fix if thats the case haha

My best guess is that you have overheated the IC

Are there some Hi-Res pictures of a working 78 PCB without the epoxy?

Sure it will come in handy when something goes wrong
