badly flashed drive

[GOODTINGSaka]

now im all new to this but what i wanted to find out is it possible to spoof a badly flashed 360 drive as the drive in the machine does not read any disks even after reportedly getting the laser changed
any information appreciated

[fanni]

We need a bit more info mate

what drive have you got?
What makes you think that it's a bad flash?
Why would you need to spoof it?

i won it on ebay but its not here yet
but heres the info
the drive wont read any discs dvd , dvdr`s , etc
it has a sammy drive in the 360
he has tried replacing the laser
il update more when the machine turns up it was cheap so if its a bum deal then so be it
what do you reckon

could have the wrong key flashed to the drive, if thats the case it will say please enter a xbox 360 game in the dvd drive ( or words to that effect ) also it would read movie dvds ok, not game dvds tho....without the key u will be foobared..just a thought.

[fanni]

Yeah as said above if it has the wrong key flashed into it then it is nothing more than a paperweight

He might have replaced the laser without removing the anti static point If it won't play DVD films then it might have the right key on it.

[fanni]

i take it by the you've done that before

[GOODTINGSaka]

fingers crossed here then well it was cheap anyway so im just hoping its a bargin really if not then it was £26.00 down the drain

quick ? are you guys just flashing back new boxses and going back online or are you only using originals on unflashed boxses

[evilsatan]

I've not done it myself but I can see how that could be the fault and he might have got a proper bargain I am still unbanned on my benq ixtreme 1.41 box and it connects to live daily.

ok update to previous post
the machine arrived today
from the diagrams on line its a sammy drive ,
first problem which was not mentioned in the sale the machines banned on live but has been updated to nxe
which is a downer now as i have 2 360s that are banned but hey lets move on
the machine freeze`s after 10 mins or so but has not 3 reds yet i know thats coming
back to the driive it spins up but doesnt read dvds dvdrs or original 360 games
so what do you guys reckon i couldnt get it open to look as i dont have an allen key that will fit

[evilsatan]

You don't need allen keys mate, you need a T-8 and a T-10. Sounds like you need to replace the xclamps and whack on xecuter pads to be safe. Also a new laser by the sounds of it.

[GOODTINGSaka]

ok he did say that he had fitted a new laser someone on the forum said that they would have a look so i might box it back up and send it over there see what he says
il get the executer kit done but i dont really wanna spend too much on this as i still cant get back on live with this box even when it gets fixed still need to find a cheap box that isnt banned
