my mate gave me his console just before christmas and said he was getting an open tray fault. i ordered a recon drive off fleabay with a years ticket(benq vad 6038) and fitted it on christmas eve (swapping over the pcb from the old drive). i get a phone tonight saying hes getting the same fault with the recon drive.
My questions are. is this type of drive prone to that type of fault.? is it possible the console is at fault or the pcb i swapped over from the old drive.

Hmm recon isn't new is it ..

How olds the laser..?

Ahhh it may me the console.

Fb.

i'm going to send it back obviously. just wondering if its possibly the console thats causing it or the pcb from the old drive.

I would put the original pcb back on and flash your key to that , then you will know if it was the pcb at fault.

as you know dave flashing isnt my strong point.
have many drives have use heard of where the board is at fault for open tray

Lol phezo ,
not sure i haven`t come across any , normally a laser change is all that is needed.
Although i did have 1 the other day that had bad soldering on the wires that go to the pcb and that was causing `open tray` error.

Only ever had it be the laser,
