IVE MODDED MANY DRIVES AND FIXED MANY BOARDS BUT THIS ONE TOTALLY THROUGH ME! RECENTLY MODDED A FRIENDS BENQ DRIVE, PEACE OF P1SS AS WE ALL KNOW, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE FINE  UNTIL HE BROUGHT IT BACK THE NEXT DAY WITH THREE RED RINGS AND ALSO THE DRIVE WAS UNRESPONSIVE.

I HELD DOWN THE SYNC BUTTON AND PRESSED THE EJECT 4 TIMES TO READ THE CODE WHICH READ AS ERROR CODE 0013

I CHECKED THIS OUT ON A FEW SITES AND FORUMS AND IT SUPPOSED TO BE A RAM OVERHEATING PROBLEM BUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT PROVED THIS IS INCORRECT!!

I STRIPPED THE BOX DOWN THEN PLUGGED EVERYTHING IN AND POWERED UP, STRANGE NOT ONLY THE DRIVE IS UNRESPONSIVE BUT ALSO THE FANS WHERE NOT WORKING AND THE BOARD DID NOT GET HOT!
ID NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE!

SINCE I HAVE NUMEROUS PARTS I TRIED ANOTHER POWER PACK AND HEY PRESTO EVERY THING WORKED PERFECTLY! SWAPPED BACK TO THE OTHER POWER PACK AND THREE RED LIGHTS AND AN UNRESPONSIVE XBOX360 WITH AN ERROR THAT READS 0013.

MY FRIEND HAD MIXED HIS OWN POWER PACKS UP RESULTING IN THIS ERROR WHICH WAS SUPPRISINGLY EASY TO FIX, JUST CHANGED THE POWER PACK.

I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE MADE THIS MISTAKE AND THOUGHT THEY HAVE THE DREADED RED RING OF DEATH OR EVEN HAD POWER PACKS TURN FAULTY AND GOT THREE RED LIGHTS WHEN ACTUALLY THEY JUST NEED A NEW POWERPACK.

ANYWAYS I HOPE THIS HELPS AT LEAST ONE PERSON AND IN N WAY AM I TRYING TO HAVE A GO AT OTHER PEOPLES WORK! JUST TRYING TO ADD NEW INFORMATION TO HELP US ALL OUT.

I HAVE ALOT OF EXPERIENCE IN DRIVE MODDING SO IF ANYBODY NEEDS HELP OR IS STUCK IN ANY WAY JUST LET ME KNOW YOUR PROBLEM AND ILL BE HAPPY TO HELP.
