When i start my xbox, with my cheap tompson dvd drive plugged it, the chip goes red. is this a common problem or what? i have a tompson dvd drive and the chip boots fine with just the hard drive plugged in. but without my dvd, i cannot boot onto evox, <

Sounds like the drive isn't sitting right over the chip and moving it. Make sure its seated properly on the pins. <

I Fixed it, Seems like one of te pins in the IDE Connector on the dvd drive had gotted pushed into the drive. causing a bad connection and the chip to fail. took the drive apart, cleaned it up a bit, and now this tompson drive works like new...but for how long

My thompson reads multiple mediagreat, my samsung only -rw and -r and really only workes with Ritek, my LG in my new 1.6b reads everything so long as I use Qwix to create an ISO first. I personally believe that the rep for thompsons comes from being the first drive and everybody blaming the drive when it was really a burn compatiblity and all the kinks in buring for Xbox hadn't been worked out and the rep has just stuck. <
