You said ages ago ....
Out of date, incompatible firmware could be your issue. If you are using like Ixtreme 1.91 - that could be the problem.
Flash the drive back to stock for the correct corresponding Dashboard version to your console. See where that puts you in functionality. Custom firmware comes later. Use LT 3.0
What dvd drive board mod did you do for this LiteOn? The simple probe of MXP01 ... or cutting traces. The cut and patched traces could be a problem
