My 59DJ died and I bought a new 47DJ. I had the key backed up from when I flashed my drive over a year ago. I followed the Hitachi_Key_Insertion_Tutorial_v1.2.pdf guide and everything went fine no errors. I re-dumped the key off the new 47DJ to verify my work and it shows as being the key that I replaced it with. I went and booted up with my new drive and now originals and backup will not play. DVD's will though. I have searched around and I have seen that this is a issue with the key. My question is did I mess anything up??? Also is it possible for a key to change over the year period that I did my backup?? Third question is can I go from a newer DVD-ROM version to an older?

can anyone help me out. I am soo lost, I don't mean to sound like a noob. I know I have the right key from my old box. Also if I cannot get this to work I am basically screwed with a new DVD drive.

How did your old drive died? If it was a laser, rotor, or any kind of "mechanical" problem, you could just swap the logic boards and skip the flashing completely. This means taking the 59 (dead) board and putting it into the new 47 drive.

you need to spoof the new drive to match the model of your old drive.

are there any tut's on spoofing for the new drive

use toolbox. It's what I did. under tools it says "spoof firmware." click that and select the drive you need to spoof to. remember it has to be spoofed to the same drive that was originally in that box. there is a tutorial somewhere. try searching.
