I just bought a new 360 core recently from Circuit City. Mfg date on it is 2006-09-11. It has a ms28 drive in it, so I searched around the threads for someone who could update the firmware on it. xbox-expert, who is a moderator, did it for me at his house. Before I brought it over, my retail games (sonic & gow) had been playing fine, no errors at all. Once it was flashed, he put a copy in, it loaded, and then turned the system off and off I went.
Now, I'm having some problems. I'm using verbatim dl's and my games, sometimes, will load and play for a few minutes and give a dirty disc error, and sometimes it won't even recognize the game. My retail copy of GOW will load fine, play for 5-10 minutes, then give me a dirty disc error as well. I was told it was flashed w/ 4.2b. I know very little about this, so bare with me.
What is the possibility that the laser somehow got damaged through the firmware hack? If it didn't get damaged, could it be a bad flash? Can my dvd drive be corrupt? If it is, what's my next step? The warranty is void now that it is open. Need some serious help here. Thanks in advance.
