Open Tray Error With Samsung
« on: February 08, 2007, 09:13:00 PM »
I just flashed the drive with the 5.2b firmware and can't get any of my originals or backups to play all I get is the open tray error. Should I try a different flash? If so do I have to go through all the original steps to flash it? Is there a tutorial on flashing a flashed drive?

Make sure you re-connected the sata cable to the DVD drive.

you need to use the rubberband trick with some samsung drives so that the laser doesn't go all the way to the middle. After i tied a rubberband around the metal post the laser slides on i have had no problems at all.

Yup, here's how: http://www.360mods.net/News/article/sid=71.html

Did it last month when the 360 was giving me Open Tray errors (ms28) and since then it's been working fine.
