After my last Question about my problem, getting open tray and insert game into 360 console errors ( http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/394012 )

I have decided, as one of the replies said, to do the POT tweak.

Anyone know any good guides on this, i found one at qj.net my MODA, but it's not that explanatory.

I was wondering if there's anyone here who have done this tweak, any recommendation and any sort of tip[s that could hlep me on this.

Thanks for everyone's replies !

I've seen it helps because it makes the laser stronger. I wouldn't ever do it. But I have a link for you, that'll help you decide whether or not you want to do this.

Before you do, what issues are you having to lead you to POT tweaking?

Yeah, by the way, that's the same tut. i gota while ago.

I guess there's no other coice, after exactly 50 "Open Tray-Close Tray" i gave up today.

I will be getting this over to my friend at work, he will be doing the "Operation" to my 360. If this succeeds ill personally try to make a tutorial with a little more in-depth since, like the original tutorial's maker says "did quickly".

See everyone later, and wish me luck, lol.

So we opened up the drive, checked, and found some weird things:

First of all, the potentiometer was 3.235 (which i think it's odd since guides say it should be 3.4 to 4.2 stock).

Anyways, my friend (more "electronic friendly" than me) put it down to 3.018.

Now i get the long "READING" button then "Open Tray" every now and then i get the "put in xbox360 console" message and ONLY once i was able to play an ORIGINAL game.

Any comments or anything anyone call tell me about this ? Maybe tips ? anything will be appreciated.

Thanks again !

So we kept lowering the dial... 3.0...2.8...

2.654: loaded the game about 20 times and worked once.

2.549: one out of every 6 loads worked !

2.341: Games load once of every 3-5 loads.

That's it, i dont plan on lowering it any more, i know this laser is no good, si i was wondering where to get a new unit, anyone knows ?

Thanks for your replies everyone !

Thanks for the reply BurningAs,

Games stopped working, first i had to load them like 10 times for it to work, then the next day about 25, then 40, then 50, then they stopped working.

With the POT tweak they started working again, tho backups don´t play yet, only Originals.

I have read from some ppl in X-S that when this happens all that is left to do is to get a new laser unit, i found one on divineo but they dont say which brand they are. So i´m looking around first.

I know, this sucks, after only 4 months, this happens.

See you guys later !
