you see the problem is iprep and dosflash try to erase existing firmware before they write the new firmware so when i try to write (restore) the orig firmware, the utilities freeze when the try to erase because there is nothing there to erase (hence, 1 red light - optical drive error)

I have tried that with a USB drive and it just sits there on erasing and does nothing. The DVD drive does not even boot up...

Was yours doing the same thing?

Quick light in the middle and then just blinks?

I can not get the dvd drive to even spin..

Any more detail would be great
thanks

I attempted my first Benq mod. I used Iprep 1.062 and an nforce motherboard. After lots of rebooting and replugging into 1-4 SATA slots, I got the iprep program to finally see the drive and start flashing numbers. I tried the on and off thing even thought it never got to d1 and it went through all the reading Bank stuff successfully. I have a Key that looks normal. I did the FBEN and it erased and then it never wrote a thing. Now when I boot the Drive is not recognized by my PC and the FBEN just sits there. The XBOX has 1 flashing red light and won't boot. To make it worse, I had two XBOXs opened both Elites and grabbed the wrong lid and used the wrong serial number. Am I totally screwed or do I have options?
