Keys correct, originals+ backups won't boot.. need very quick help..

[Abacus]

I got a ts h-943 drive. (samsung, with ms 28 frimware)

I have flashed it, with xtreme 5.0
All wen't good.
I WAS playing backups, WITH NO PROBLEM.
(So, key is GOOd, and assembly of the drive and the console is good)

After approx... 1,5-2 of play, (GEARS OF WAR ) the console got frozen.........
After it cold down, it did not boot anything.. No riginals, no backups, no nothing..
Just "open try" stuff...

I DID reflash the drive, did it with xtreme 5.1, and did it with original fw..
Did not help me...
It seams that the drive is f***ed up.

Any trick to try?
 (rubberband method does not help Eighter...)

Any ideas what could i do with it?

Try checking all the cables again, even inside of the dvd drive - sounds like it could be your dvd drive laser if all cables are fine.  You could try tweaking the pot,

Cables in the drive look right..
I see the laser head moveing, did see the red laser beam, and so on...
How come a new box (3 days old...) can work for hours, and then the laser needs to be retuned?

I just don't get it...

Cables are good.
Key is good.
System boots up.
Dashboard says "open tray".
If I insert any disk inclueding original, it starts spinning, but...  after a while dashboard times out, and says "open tray".

^ because it's a quality Microsft product word of advice, NEVER look at the laser ever ever ever.  Maybe try restoring it to origional firmware using origional disks and trying the whoel process again, if you can't do it then restore everything to stock and send it back to Bill

I did restore the drive with the original firmware.
Does not works...

Same thing...

I bought an other x360.
I gona switch drives, crossflash, and send it back to the shop...

Is there a way to remove the warranty sticker?
And then is there a way to put it back, so noone can notice that it WAS opened?

[sadalius]

A little bit of heat from a blow dryer on the sticker should do the trick.

hmm..
A friend of mine has blown his x360 the same way.

The drive acts just like old drives with old Xtreme firmware before emproved media detection, and backup disc..

Do looks like the media detection fails. The dashboard times out.
I'v tryed a thing...
I removed the pcb from the drive, and inserted the pcb into an other (samsung ms28) drive.
It was not reading anything eighter...
Keys are correct, as no red lights showed up...
System booted fine, none of the discs booted..  No original, no backup.
Must be something with the pcb..

I took the bad pcb, and inserted into a confirmed , working drive.
It was not working.

I think that something fas fryed on the pcb.
Can't tel what. (yet)

If anyone feals like that, could try to mesure a non flashed pcb, and a not working one.
Maybe it is a firmware fault, that ruins something on the pcb.. (a controller or something, not sure)

Can someone test it?
From a drive that only reads with rubberband method, pick out the pcb,
insertit into an other drive, and test it.
No flashing is requiered, assemble in to the same box.

I wounder how does the emproved media detection works...
I thing that could couse the problem..
