Hi There,

I have a Samsung MS28 drive which had FW iXtreme 1.4. I tried to upgrade it to iXtreme 1.61 using JungleFlash and now I am having the following problem. When I reconnect the drive to the XBOX360, the center green led doesnt stop blinking and the drive keeps on opening. Everytime you try to close it, it just closes for a few seconds and opens again. On the dashboard, under My Xbox, it shows the status "Opening" or "Closing", and never even tries to read any DVD.

Anyone encounter this situation before?

My flashing process went smoothly. The only thing I can think of is that I had to use the "Half Closed Tray" trick to get the drive into Vendor Mode. After that the drive never closed again.

Is the drive bricked? I reflashed it again using iPrep and DosFlash and the flashing process completes fine, but when I connect it back to the Xbox360 it starts to behave the same way.

Thanks in advance,

LC

did u open the drive up and pull any ribbons or wires loose from the pcb?

I did take the bottom casing apart to check if there was anything out of order and everything looked in place. I didnt check for ribbons though.

Any ideas? Should I take the PCB apart and put it back together again just in case?

the only time i have ever seen what u are describing was a case where some drive wires where left disconnected in a liteon drive.  this might not be your problem, but it would be a good place to start looking.

check inside where the drive sits in the front part of the chasis to make sure the two silver clips that holds the drive in hasnt dislodged and sticking out an
this happened to me once where it kept opening and closing
