i got a maximus passkey but am having a lil problem

I installed flashed and had it working fine, when I took the chip out, I got 3 red lights, with an error ive never seen 0031, and what was odd the 3 was upside down, (player 4 was out, normally 3 red lights, player one is out)

When I pulled the drive out it booted fine

But once I put the drive back in, I get the same error, and it happens as soon as it gets power, no fans no nothing

I got it to boot once, but the laser stayed on, didn’t move, and the drive wouldn’t eject, I rebooted and back to 3 red lights

Am I doing something wrong?

The install was on point, nothing bridged, and the removal was fine as well nothing splashed no burnt spots nothing.

i tested a diffrent drive in thier and it worked fine, but i think this 79 may be dead??

And if you put the chip back in ? Just for testing ? Does it work fine then again ?

no the drive is 100% unresponsive, what i did was swap a ms25 into it, swap the keys, and all problems solved, now jus hope the next 79 goes better

I have tried to install my passkey I found  it pretty hard to install , I have broken some of the spare pads how would i fix this? I will take a photo of it in a few hours  cheers

[ebphondaprelude]

yea their about the same as an NME install
but since the pads are gone u need to either solder to the trace or the IC leg coming off the chip

[foaley77]

ok cheers

Whats the best way to get the resin off I did not risk using my heat gun I just used a 40 W soldering iron which did not do a very clean job.

What would be the best way to do this, now that i have broken "A,H and I" Pads could I use the thin cable plus my own wire for A,H and I pads?

[foaley77]

Forgot to mention Do you have to put the ground cable on as well as It is not on one of the guides i have seen?

[foaley77]

Would it be safe to put Alfoil around the bits that i don't want to get hot and use a heat Gun?

Yesterday i got my infectus passkey for my hitachi 79fk drive.
it was a hard job to solder it.
first you must use the heat gun to remove the glue,but attention not to hot.
then solder the chip to the pins,best to use a 15w-25w solder iron.
this was hard it took me 30min for 12pins and i am very good in soldering.(be carefully with this)
then i connected the drive to the pc and it was recognised by xp.
i flashed it with toolbox 4.0 and now my elite runs perfect with verbatim double layer.

[foaley77]

Did you use the wire or Cable?

[neonmod]

Just got a new elite with a june 07 hitachi drive, with rom version 79FL, i take it, it falls into the result as with the FK version and is not software flashable in the normal way ?

[xbox360fun]

i used wires to solder the passkey.
the infectus passkey has no cable.

[foaley77]

ok cheers

[foaley77]

I installed the passkey with wire but I have no flashing blue light and drive does not eject no smoke or anything I used my xecuter connectivity kit to power it on , is this right ? why won't the drive eject I hope i can get it working as it's not my xbox.

also do i have to use the ground cable?
