Keep getting "Play Dvd" when disk inserted

I'll try to keep this as short as possible so here goes: I kept getting RROD so decided to take my box to a local guy to get it fixed. When I got it back, I tried to play a backup and it wouldn't work, so I opened it up and re-flashed with Lt 2.0(it's a Benq drive). I hooked it back up and decided to try an original game(BF3) and it started to play but then froze up. I rebooted my box a couple of times and then got an error(I believe e66??). After a couple of reboots, my box would actually boot but give me the play DVD screen, even with originals. Now, I'm stuck as to what might be wrong. Does anyone have any suggestions?
BTW, I'm on the latest dash, I have my original key, and my drive as of now is at stock. Also, I'm not exactly sure as to if anything else happened leading up to the E66 because this happened over a month ago and I just got my box back from repair.

Buy a new machine(no sarcasm intended) and flash to LT3.0.

Actually, I did already buy a "new" one. But I'm leaving it stock because I'm playing MW3 on Live. Would buying another BenQ drive do the trick? When you say buy a new one, do you mean another phat model or an actual new slim one? I'm trying to avoid having to buy probes or any other flashing tools. I enjoy the simplicity of the BenQ drive. :^)

Did I keep the original what? I am afraid maybe he screwed up and put the wrong board or drive back in when he put it back together.

Ran into another snag. When I try to update the dash I get an update failed error with a code.

Ok, I thought I had flashed back to stock but I guess I hadn't. I got it to take the update. Still working on the "play dvd" problem tho. So, seeing as I was able to flash back to stock and apply the update, that should mean the fw and key I'm using are correct, right? So, does that help in troubleshooting my problem? Does this mean my drive is bad?

Crap! That's what I was afraid of. I had a feeling my board got switched. When I opened it to flash my drive, it just looked different. I think he just screwed up by accident but now I don't know if he'd be able to tell what he did with my original one.
I did put a movie in and it played. So my only option is to look for another xbox then? I really prefer one with a Benq drive or are the other drives just as easy to flash?
EDIT: Here's a question- if he accidentally put my board into another box he was repairing, would they be having problems with theirs also?

Didn't you say that a game did boot on it once, even though it froze up? If the key of the drive does not match that of the console, a game would never boot. It sounds more like your DVD drive is broken or the laser needs tweaking rather than a key issue, unless I'm reading this thread incorrectly.

Yea, I could've sworn the game booted and then I got the error. It's been so long ago I really can't remember the specifics. Maybe I'll just find a used drive and try that before I go looking for another xbox.

Well, I have the original key but now I really have no way of knowing if I have the correct board, or if my drive is just bad. I've been reading about that coolrunner but still have a lot of questions. If I decide to use it, I will essentially just be using this software and an external drive to play my games? Can you point me to a good tut and site to purchase from? Oh, and is there anything I need to look out for before buying this?
BTW, my board is a zephyr
