Tons of stuff for you to search on this topic. You'll need to replace or recalibrate the laser. Go with replace.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

What chip? Should be a flash not chip. Your laser is probably dead. replace the laser or the drive.

thanks ppl spoke to a realy nice guy after some looking on the net and going to have my driver changed, rather then just the laser as i have no knowledge of soldering and just easy for me to just change the whole driver !

Replacing the laser on a Liteon drive doesn't require any soldering.It's an easy job and is a lot cheaper than paying for the whole drive to be replaced.There are loads of tutorials (http://www.pothsprojects.com/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=535).Thats the one i used a few weeks back.Hope it helps.
