@panosvo
Only remove the activity LED from the front and the tray was perfect??

@menelik
Sorry again, i'm little slow... what are the *recommend* tray points to work fine the autoplay? I'm confused. :_(

-I forgot to mention it, but I put a couple screws underneath the drive, to space it up a bit. In other words, I put 2 of the supplied screws into the drive, on the bottom side, before laying into the black tray. It pushed it up just enough so that i to wouldn't rub along the tray.

Very nice idea useing the audio plug its self! Whish I had thought of that. I also spaced mine up but with blobs of hot glue instead of screws.... also a good idea.

hey guys,

if i didn't use the 4th resistor, i wont get CD-R support, right?

does this include rewritable cds, or just CD-R?

this is because i read here somewhere that using that 4th resistor takes away from the drive's ability to read DVDs, and its also a burden on the lens, like pot tweaking.

i measured a lot and couldnt see a 'pot tweak', the laser bias doesnt get more power. moreover there is a minimal dvd disadvantage, you can adjust this with higher resistance values.
the vrcd resistor is to read any cd-r (5 years old dark green dont work , newer cd-rs work great)

Anybody know where you can get the male connectro for the yellow dvd cable (i.e. so its plug and play withouth spicing the cable), without ripping it off of another xbox drive?

Thanks

The PDF is a dead link! I just received my drive today and want to get to work. Can someone get it live again?
