    ok guys, im ever so sorry for creating a new thread, but, the other one doesnt seem to attract the attention (due to the thread title) of the new error that is now in place (i fixed the original problem!)

    ok if anyone cares to follow, the previous thread is http://forums.afterdawn.com/t.cfm/f...y_replacement_liteon_drive_or_repair-930778/2

    i am now to the stage where i have had to re-flash the drive to a stock firmware of 0251 and i now have it playing original discs again.

    for some reason no matter what i do i am struggling to get it to play back ups!

    although i have easily without a problem flashed a number of xboxs and never come across this problem once!

    could anyone assist

    and once again a quick update, turned xbox off and then back on and then now it will not play original games and i havnt touched the xbox what-so-ever !! please im begging the people in the know how to help :(

    edit: i reflashed to drive to 7485 and it now plays and recognises original xbox games.
    but i am on the latest dashboard build as i only updated a couple of days ago via ethernet

    i have no idea what so ever as to why it wont allow me to play back ups??

    is that what is wrong with it mate, i have just found out off the owner of the xbox that it didnt load games all of the time (had to eject and put it back in in order to play originals) and there was me thinking i had broken the xbox itself!

    now, even if i flash it with 0251 lt 3.0, shouldnt it atleast recognise back-ups?

    for example:

    could i flash it now from 7485 all the way upto 0251 lt 3.0 without doing anything else in between? or do i need to flash to 0251 stock then from stock to lt 3.0

    flash straight to LT3.0 no need to do anything else and just try to do a pot tweek and also inform the owner that he will need a new laser or drive soon

    This has happened me lots and lots of times with Lite-On drives. They read originals but will not read a backup. I end up cleaning the laser and adjusting the POT (little things like philips screw heads on the back of the laser that face towards the back of the drive) by just turning them anti-clockwise by about 1/16 or 1/8 of a turn but not too far or it just gets worse.
