I have flashed my Samsung drive with xtreme.

I am getting the message "to play this disc put it in a 360 console". BUT...I am only getting it about half the time with originals or backups.

If I can get the drive to recognize the game initially, then it plays fine, but as far as initial boot up, it sometimes thinks its a DVD and other times it boots fine.

Since it will play fine sometimes, would this more likely be a hardware problem, or could a bad flash do this.

I also flashed back my original bin, and it still had the same problem.

Any ideas...

Yeah clean the laser.

I'm also have the same problem except I have a hitachi 47D.

also those laser cleaning discs arent very good to use on a 400 dollar machine imo.

maybe try a pot tweak, if you can on sammy drives... overall tho, sounds like a bum drive if originals dont work

You can buy them here but you still need your key.

they seem to be out of stock...anywhere else that people know of?

Just wanted to update this in case it helps someone in the future....I ordered a replacement laser from mod-chip for around 25.00 and installed it, and now my 360 is reading all discs as it should.
