I have not tried to flash the drive or modify it in any way, and this is what is so strange. This is the information I have gathered so far;Xbox 360 HDMI DVD Drive is Liteon DG16D2SHardware Version A0A1Firmware Version 74850CWhen I switch the xbox on the centre green LED just flashes, and the DVD drive does nothing (no motor spin up, no laser movement etc) also the drive will not eject (totally dead) and the xbox eventually reports the E64 error. I tried a new DG16D2S drive (same hardware & firmware) in the xbox and it powers up fine and reports no errors, but obvioulsy I can't play games as I need the key off the original drive.I have opened the DVD drive and there are no tracks burnt, and I have taken measurements off both boards for comparison. The DVD drive has 12V, 5V, 3V and 1.8V on the board, and the only difference I can seem to find is that Pin 3 (open / close) on the JD1 DVD power connector is constantly high (3V). I have traced this back to the MT1319L chip and the o/p is high. So I am assuming that the DVD drive 'thinks' the eject button is somehow 'stuck'.All I want to do is retrieve the Key, and flash it to a new drive to play games. I am not interested in playing backup games at all. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get round this please? Thanks in advance.Update..........!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;DSo I have managed to fix the drive. I gingerly removed the resin from around the MT1319L chip and re flowed the solder on the pins (1 to 10). I also noticed that a couple of the thru pads on the Sata header socket on the DVD PCB had come away from the PCB (they were still attached to the tracks, but they were lifting the tracks) so i re soldered these. Tested the board again, and hey presto the open / close line on the JD1 DVD drive connector was not held high any more. So I plugged the drive back into my xbox it worked and plays games. So as a precaution I hooked the drive up to Jungleflasher and retrieved the DVD key just in case the drive dies in the future. I must say that the quality of the Lite on DG162DS DVD PCB drive board is pretty poor, and I was not surprised when this board started doing weird things. Oh well at least I got the DVD key...................!!!!!! Thanks for all of your helpDave
