Help With My Xbox 360 DVD drive!!
« on: August 16, 2011, 09:17:19 AM »
Hi all!

ok so ife been working on this Xbox for like a month now.. And this is the first problem ife encouterted...

As i switch on my xbox the middle green light starts flashing, normally this is an DVD problem right? so i checked the SATA and Power cables and there didnt seem to be a problem... I tried to open the Tray by pushing the eject button, but no response... Last night when i plugged in the drive the xbox gave me the RROD with 3 lights.. i switched it on and off and it was normal again.. I think its something to do with the power to the DVD drive. When i switch it on theres no response from the DVD drive...

Its a BenQ VAD6030 drive... I checked the dvd drives power on another xbox and it didnt seem to power up either...


PLease help is needed

Did you remove the DVD drive from the box?  If so, make sure you reinserted the power cable the correct direction.  There are to notches that fit into the drive, i believe the notches face down.  It seems like there would be no way to put it in upside down, but it has happened to me and many other people.  I was fortunate enough to not cause any damage to my drive.

check the wires on ur power cable. sometimes when u unplug the power cable, you may accidentally pull out one of the wires slightly, causing the pin to not make full contact with the wire.  ive had that happen to me once.

Well your in luck, first of all its a Benq drive, so there for its one of the easiest to flash, I have had this promblem my self, and its probable a mobo issue, which is no big deal,

SO step 1- is to get another benq drive being that there are the easies to replace.
Step 2- you dont need no fancy tools to flash a benq drive, so  theres another plus you can do it right from the xbox 360 just need alonger sata cable.
Step 3 is to get the  key off it, which i persnally can help you step by step on here or on yahoo which ever is easier,
Step 4 when ever your ready to start the process PM me and we will get this fixed asap :)

will give you step by step instructions to help you along :)
