Xbox is PHAT with latest dash and an old liteon drive. I did not get the key.

I put the power in the wrong way. I can obviously see that R709 exploded. I've replaced it with a 100ohm resistor but It hasn't fixed the problem. The results of all my "tests" are still the same.

With Sata cable and original power cable plugged into xbox:
Eject button on xbox works and on the dashboard works. Games don't read.

With Sata cable in x360 USB pro and original power cable plugged into xbox:
Drive doesn't start up, but xbox does and will seem to send open and close signals to the drive.

With original power cable in xbox but without sata cable:
Drive does not start up at all.

With Ck3 power cable (has 2 extra wires) / probe 3 power cable:
the xbox will start up straight away red-ringing, drive doesn't move.

Whilst xbox is on, with both the original power cable and the sata cable in, if i pull out the sata - the xbox reboots and the dvd drive is dead.


The main chip in the middle doesn't get all hot like some people reported after having this problem.

I'm in Japan and we don't have a ground on most appliances here. When I did plug the power to the DVD drive the wrong way, it had about 3 seconds before i turned everything off.
