I have a Hitachi 47 which has been flashed with the latest Garyopa (2.3 rev 2). The problem I am having deals with original games and backed up games. I get about 2 minutes into the game (I get past the initial load, and the initial game menu) I hear a loud either beep (or screech) and the the xbox locks up. The drive keeps spinning but the game is frozen. I have re-flashed the drive twice. Should I try different firmware? IS the problem with the drive laser itself? DO I need to replace my DVD drive? If so where would I find one?
Also no ring of death either at any point.

Restore your drive and see if it still functions the same way. I highly doubt that it is the firmware doing this but it is worth a try. Maybe your drive is going downhill.

Not even 2 and a half hours and you bump this? Give it some time, and only one bump a day.

Sorry about that, its just very frustrating. If I need to find a replacement DVD drive what is the recomended site to purchase from? Thanks again....
