This is the case:
I lately tried to mod two Xbox 360 consoles. Both are Lite-On's. I made a DIY key extractor but failed to extract the key (this is 99% sure due to my serial port)..
Because it took too long for the guy who i did it for, i had to rush when I re-assembled the Xbox. Now the guy is explaining his X-Box doesnt work anymore (I did not have time to check whether it did or did not work)
Now i just tried my own box, but when i want to play game, I only get the message that the Disc is only compatible with a Xbox 360 consle (instead of a DVD-player).
Since I did not change anything to the firmware of BOTH Xboxes, is it possible I swithced the drives by accident (So wrong key > motherboard)?
Originally posted by wld: Ok, i have the other box right now and when i get home i immediately will try it again.
Can this also be the problem for my home-made probe to return without any signal? Or is that just my probe? I tried multiple transitors..
getting the drive into half open position is quite picky. i was in a similar position, after almost a year a had to read the key out again. both my serial port as key reader were fine )read out many a year ago), took me an hour to find out that it wasn't in half tray open position. just power up the xbox, open drive (with tray open). unplug the power connector on the back of the drive (i unplugged it from the xbox mainboard). then put tray in half open position. put power plug back. and it read it immediately. if you still get bad data, scrape a little bit of the green stuff of the r707 port. then it will read fine. if still not, then your keyreader and/or serial port is the problem
good luck
