guys, i have a question...

work the modding with 1k ohm resistors but of more/less than 1/4 watt? (1/8 or 1/2 watt is possible?) i have serious problems with find this value (1k ohm 1/4 w) in my little city.

any suggestions? i don't want drive 4 hours to the near city to buy four resistors.

thks.

1/2 will work too. if you got a damged mobo you can take a resistor from there, its a common resistor. you also dont have to use smd, you can aso any other ressitor, only the value plays a matter.

its great to see that this mod works for the most

the TrayIn point (the one hidden under the ribbon cable), is fine and works, but it doesn't retract the tray when you press the power down button. If you want it retract the tray when you power down then use the OUT point next to the Eject point on the other side of the PCB.

it works with that point, i made many drives and you can power it on over eject and it drives out nd when you push the power button it will drive back.

So, let me get this straight, if you leave uit the VRCD wire, the drive will read more dvd's but no cd-r?

menelik · « **Reply #95 on:** June 03, 2005, 12:36:00 PM »

you got it. you could add a switch, when you wanna use cds switch it to GND through 100 Ohm. if you wanna use dvds just use no wiring. as i dont like switches and tis method works for all dvds i tested i dont advise you to use them. as you see ths mmod works for the most, i'd just use other resistors.

Hmm, not interested in CD-r's in any way, so when i feel like it, i think i'm going to remove the wire.

Can someone explain the flashing procedure a little better. The tutorial briefly covers it, and the other thread about the 8163B wasnt to clear for me either. I have used the sf8163.exe in a command prompt within windowsXP. I have made a diskette with the sf8163.exe and the 8050L.DLD file and booted from the diskette and it wont flash either. I have the LD 8163B on the secondary IDE port as master. I even tried starting xp in safe mode with a dos prompt and was still unsuccessful. I can start the app but every time it tells me that there is no drive and I have also done the /r and /i options as well. I know I must be doing something totaly wrong as this seems to be a very easy step that I cant get passed. A little help here would be very much appreciated. Thanks

I have to try it l.o.l.

Now on to the rest of the mod!!!!

Thanks to all that have brought this information to light, keep up the good work.

Thanks for that spedmetal. I don't normally use a PC, so that will save me some time searching for how to make a boot disk.

I just bought my drive today! Sold a Thomson for $40 and bought this for under $30. Good deal.

menelik · « **Reply #101 on:** June 04, 2005, 02:07:00 AM »

the flashed drive wont work with a pc. if yu'd put it into your xbox you'd see that it works well.

Slrpgeit · « **Reply #102 on:** June 04, 2005, 09:21:00 AM »

Hmm, i removed the VRCD Wire, and now it doesn't auto close when i power off the xbox, what did i do wrong?

Slrpgeit · « **Reply #103 on:** June 04, 2005, 09:38:00 AM »

Damn, the vrcd point came off, is there an alternate point?

/edit: problem solved, left vrcd connection out, my eject wire came loose.

Slrpgeit · « **Reply #104 on:** June 04, 2005, 10:00:00 AM »

Edit that, it was my tray out wire, not eject.
