[Philips Vad6011/21 Disc Laser Lens Replacement Still Not Working]

Thanks.  I will attempt a return and exchange.  I wonder if I jacked it up when I removed the two solder blobs.  I did remove the protective film but almost didn't notice that.    I'm going to buy a solder kit with the sucker for my next attempt.  Luckily I have the Rocky 5 softmod installed on it but was wanting to play the xbox games via disc.  It is a huge bummer it didn't work out.  

[Philips Vad6011/21 Disc Laser Lens Replacement Still Not Working]

Hi,

I just replaced my Philips VAD6011/21 Disc Laser Lens with a Disc Laser Lens for Xbox SPU-3141 Philips Microsoft original from ZedLabz https://www.ebay.com/itm/Disc-Laser-Lens-for-Xbox-SPU-3141-Philips-Microsoft-original-ZedLabz/333312052835?hash=item4d9af24e63:g:khoAAOSwGcpfEEyk

Unfortunately it is still not reading my xbox games discs.  I have the Rocky5 Softmod and it states a DVD drive status of "unknown".  It seems like I did it correctly and desoldered those two points on the new Disc Laser Lens.  Sometimes I will get the "Empty" status too.  

I tried Pot tweaks on the old laser and then that helped for a very short time so I bought the new laser after it stopped working.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Thanks to Rocky 5, he told me to "Show Hidden Files" in WinSCP on youtube so I can now see the .emustation folder.  I thought I'd post this in case someone else experiences this.  However, I don't understand how to have roms/games show because it seems like I ftp them over correctly to the xbox.  I have everything in the E:\ drive in the xbox and my Emulators, Media, and Roms folders are set to Q:\emustation\emulators and then the same for both media and roms in the UI of XBMC but when I change it to E:\ my path is much longer for emulators, media, and roms it still does not work.  I tried E and Q but both do not work.  I have them all working in Launchbox on my PC so the roms in theory should work.

 

Any Ideas?

Hey glassweezer, what did you end up doing because I have the exact same issue (I think)?  When I ftp over to the xbox, I can then get into XBMC-Emustation but no emulators show.  In addition on the xbox they show in file explorer but in the FTP my .emustation doesn't seem to ftp over.

Thanks.
