recently purchased a broken 1.1v xbox from ebay. it had never been opened before and the problem was just that the foxcon psu had it's common failure where solder joints break. however, the person that owned the xbox apparently tried hard to pry the disc tray open to get their game out. since no game was left in the tray, they appear to have been successful. when this dvd player is connected to the xbox, i get an error 7. when i connect another dvd player to it, the xbox works fine. so my question is, based on what happened, what could they have messed up inside the the dvd player that the xbox cannot even see it? it is a samsung drive so it probably worth trying to fix.

Hi all, First post! I have recently flashed my TSOP on my 1.1 xbox with the latest 2.4.2 Cerbios and everything seemed to have worked. I installed a larger 6tb HDD and XBMC4Gamers is the latest version and works just fine. The problem I just recently discovered is that my Samsung DVD drive doesn't want to read and discs! Neither Backups, Originals, or Utility discs. I have to reinstall my older 1tb drive to get the xbox to boot from a utility disc! I've tried reflashing my TSOP to some other UMA setting and nothing seems to detect a disc in the drive. I swapped my 1tb drive back into my Xbox and the DVD drive will read a disc!

There's a tutorial I found on Wayback, but Wayback wasn't able to find all the pages for this mod. It's for using a PC drive on an XBOX. The DVD drive is an LG DRD-8160B. It's not similar in layout to the 8163B that there are drawings for. What I need are to locate the X and Z points on the DVD's pcb. This is all I've got...

I'm trying to check my Philips drive for faults. Confirmed that it's the drive itself as this problem occurs across 4 other XBOX's with the same symptoms. Drive refuses to eject and stops the XBOX's from booting. I'd like to test for blown fuses first....can anyone tell me where they are on the PCB?

Aside from the power connector, the other reason for regular 3.5inch DVD drives not working is the firmware. Couldn't we copy the firmware from the Xbox drives eeprom? On some Phillips drives it's even conveniently socketed. I even read the eeprom in my xGeku yesterday and it isn't blocked out or anything, or at least it looked like it was all there? Seems like it would be easy to flash it onto a modern dvd drive. Or at least the segment of code meant for the Xbox. Could this be a possibility?

I have 2 Phillips VAD6011/12 both from 1.1 units. Made around the same time and nearly have the same fault. Pretty much can get no response from them. No eject, no disc seek, no spindle. Either makes the Xbox error 11 or lags out the intro. No Startech attached so not that and has the regular 40 pin and original harddrive. First drive: Works intermittently. Once it properly fires up and doesn't make the Xbox go error 11, it works great. Reads games like nothing is wrong. It's just most of the time it's totally unresponsive, comes and goes as it pleases. Haven't done anything to this one yet. Second drive: Totally gone, also unresponsive. Xbox error 11. At one point while fault finding I turned the Xbox off and while it was booting down the spindle and laser moved for maybe half a second? Like it came back to life for a split second. This drive I have preformed a total capacitor change on, no difference. On the Samsung drives a common problem are the resistor arrays on the IDE line. I checked them out of circuit on drive #2 and two were very slightly out of spec (Only 47.7 instead of 47.0, probably meant nothing), I replaced these two arrays and it made no difference. Voltage seems to be getting everywhere it needs to. No out-right shorts on the caps, chips aren't getting hot and the board is spotless. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Are there any common problems on the early Phillips drives I should know of? Thanks

My HDD on my main xbox is an old IDE from 2004 so I decided it was time for an upgrade to modern SATA WD Drive. Only problem is that it now doesn't fit in my case, despite it being large, due to the NES microcontrollers. I'm pretty sure that if I use this adaptor that I can get everything to fit in the case as I'm no longer extending the length of the HDD with my usual goto adaptor. I've tried googling around but everything I see mentions doing some sort of TSOP flash. Is there a way to skip the DVD check without doing a TSOP flash?

So its been awhile since I've gotten back into the modding scene, but followed some of the tutorials, and was able to get a donor DVD drive to get my modding to occur. The error I'm getting is when disconnecting the DVD drive from the IDE cable, I get the Cerbios Error 13 code and it reboots into safemode selecting UDMA 2 (which is the default for what I configured in the Cerbios tool anyways) and never is able to boot to the dash. If I have the DVD drive IDE cable connected (no power or with power, either or), it will boot to the dash. My goal is to make this a slim boot, and I need to use the DVD drive in another console, so I want the ini or bios configured to bypass the configuration. So the basics: 1.1 TSOP Cerbios 2.4.2 (up to 1mb by copying the export from the configuration on Cerbios Tool) Using stock IDE cable for the configuration and a 4TB with Startech adapter. Adapter jumper set to Master config (also tried as cable select but same issue) Flashed worked fine, boots to Dashboard no problem with DVD Drive connected and 4TB drive. Config file loaded into C drive and its contents below ; Cerbios Config ; Check For AV Pack AVCheck = true ; LED Ring Color, G = Green, R = Red, A = Amber, O = Off FrontLed = GGGG ; Fan Speed 0 = Default, 10-100 = Manual Control, Supports increments of 2's FanSpeed = 0 ; Drive Setup ; 0 = HDD & DVD, 1 = HDD & No DVD (Legacy Mode), 2 = HDD & No DVD (Modern Mode), 3 = Dual HDD ; I have tried this with both 1 and 2, no difference made DriveSetup = 1 ; Set UDMA mode 0-6 On Cold-Boot UDMAMode = 2 ; Set Master Drive UDMA mode 0-6 on cold-boot UDMAModeMaster = 2 ; Set Slave Drive UDMA mode 0-6 on cold-boot (if enabled by DriveSetup = 3) UDMAModeSlave = 2 ; Enables Automatic Time Sync With Optional RTC Hardware Connected to SMBus RTCEnable = false ; Forces AV Modes That Would Normally Be Rendered At 480i to 480p.Requires 480p Set In MS Dash And Component Cables Force480p = false ; Forces VGA Modes For Component Cables Or Custom VGA Cables Using Mode(2 + 3) for VGA Displays Only, This Enables Force480p By Default & Sets Console To NTSC ForceVGA = false ; Load XDK Launcher/XBDM if it exists (Debug Bios Only) Debug = false ; Blocks Games From Updating The Original Xbox Dashboard, Useful for softmods BlockDashUpdate = false ; CD Paths (always falls back to D:\default.xbe) CdPath1 = CdPath2 = CdPath3 = ; Dash Paths (always falls back to C:\xboxdash.xbe) DashPath1 = C:\evoxdash.xbe DashPath2 = C:\avalaunch.xbe DashPath3 = C:\nexgen.xbe ; Boot Animation Path (always falls back to C:\BootAnims\Xbox\bootanim.xbe) BootAnimPath = C:\BootAnims\XBOX\bootanim.xbe Thanks for the help in advance.

I got an OG Xbox with a Samsung Ver B drive that won't spin up when I put a disc in the system. It doesn't give me any error messages and I can still access the dashboard menu and files, but the disc just sits there and the drive won't spin the disc. I'm not too familiar with the insides of the drives, but is there any way to replace whatever motor controls that? I tried looking up a replacement drive and all I could find were "not functioning" or "not tested" drives.

The title pretty much says it all. The DVD drive on my Xbox refuses to open if there's no game in it. I have to manually open it up - taking it out of its metal housing does the trick - to have it slide out the tray when there's no disc in there. Nothing moves at all, so far as can be seen. I hear some mechanism at least trying to work, but the tray doesn't budge. If there is a game disc in there, it opens normally. I can only conclude that the extra weight of the disc does something, but I'm far from an expert. I and a few other amateur handymen in my family have had a look at the mechanism and couldn't find anything amiss. None of us have ever worked on something like this before, so it's very possible we overlooked something. Does anyone have a clue what might be going wrong and/or how I can solve the problem?

Dear Friends, I try to find a solderless adapter for my 8164B DVD drive to use it in my Xbox, but there is no any chance to get the "Talismoon 8164 Solderless Adapter" anywhere on the internet. (as you see it on the pic). I'd like to ask you, is there anyone, who has a complete schematics/PCB and a BIN file for "Atmel_Tiny12l" microprocessor? I think I try to build one for myself. Thank you for your help! BR: SiD

I have a softmodded xbox 1.6b with unleash X. The laser used to light up spin for a bit the disc and give a dirty disc error (this was still on og dashboard) now it just spins the disc twice and the laser never lights up and doesn't move unless it is moved before boot. The weird thing is that it doesn't seem to have a corrupted bios because it shows up the model on unleash X settings but not the serial number(it says not supported )but there is a number on the right that I think indicates the revision but im not sure. If the fix is the 33 or 88 ohm resistors(hasn't checked them yet) it is going to be easy to fix but i cannot troubleshoot it any further.

I would like to remove the DVD drive on my 1.0 tsop . Occasionally the Xbox will fail to boot because of the drive, and I have no need for it. I looked around on the internet and my xbox, although I know it can be done; I am not seeing clear way of performing this mod. Assistance would be appreciated.

Hi guys, I have a 1.6 with cerbios(udma5) flashed to my duox2 chip, a 2tb hdd with startech adapter and 80 wire cable. The cable I got is super tight (barely fits) and now that ive set it all up with the games I need, I have no use for the DVD drive so would like to remove it as this would loosen up the cable a bit and put less strain on the startech adapter. Just wondering if it's as easy as changing something in the bios and removing the DVD drive or is it more complicated than that? I see DVD delete kits for sale but I wouldn't have thought I needed to jump through so many hoops.

This archive contains a copy of team cerbios' xmv player and the video that plays when you put an og xbox game in a dvd player in xmv format made with JCRocky5's Convert to XMV program. Place contents in BootAnim folder and point your cerbios settings to use it as the boot animation with cerbios tool.

Hi everyone. I have a Phillips DVD drive that i have taken apart, cleaned and replaced the belt on. When i slide the tray all the way in, the laser mechanism doesn't "engage" (not sure about the correct term, but it doesn't move up like it should to read a disc if a disc is placed in). I manually slide the black plastic part at the front to get the laser to move up, but sliding the tray back and forwards won't do it on its own. If i plug this back in, when i open the drive, and try to close again, the laser still won't engage, and the drive just pops back out and stays out. If i leave the top off and manually slide the plastic, making the laser move up, then place a disc in and turn it on, it reads the disc perfectly. I can't seem to see any broken pieces. Does anybody know something that could be causing this from experience?

Noticed a werid issue with my DVD Drive. Besides it getting stuck, sometimes the DVD drive goes to far out. So when it goes back in, it makes a horrible squewking noise. I tried replacing the belt, and while it did fix it not getting stuck, it still goes too far out and squeaks when it goes back in. Any help?

From left to right: DVD Ready, DVD Activity, HDD activity, LAN activity. The DVD activity light is separated from the HDD activity light and DVD Ready light is present. How was this done? I know about the HDD activity signal, but that is handled on the right of this little custom housing. The left two LEDs are the ones I am wondering about. I assume it involves tapping onto the DVD ROM drive PCB. @KaosEngineer

I'm posting this here as I am at the end of my rope with trying to diagnose this issue. I have 23 original Xbox's and this fault ONLY happens on hard modded systems that have the Samsung DVD drive (both the SDG-605B and SDG-605F). I will give a little information first on the type of hard mods I performed to each of the systems(they are all identical). modchip: Xblast Jafar/Aladdin ide wire: 40 pin 80 wire 24" long ide to sata: startech adapter(set to master) hdd: 3tb wd red pro or 4tb hgst ultrastar RAM: stock 64mb(1.6 models and 2 1.4s) or 128mb upgrade(all other models) console capacitors: all replaced on both the motherboard and PSU with Panasonic FM(mouser) or Nichicon (console5 kit) DVD drive caps: all replaced on Samsung drives only BIOS: Cerbios 2.3.1 UDMA5 (tried UDMA2 did not help) Xbox motherboard revision: I have all revisions from 1.0 to 1.6b The issue I am having is that XBMC4Gamers gives the DVD "Busy" signal when I try to boot a game(game is brand new, no scratches), and the stock 5960 dashboard will just give a disc read error. The error can be fixed by simply rebooting the console into xblast OS then loading cerbios from there. Once the console boots again the game reads fine first try and works without stutters(the lasers are fine). The issue will happen again if the xbox is turned off then unplugged and allowed to sit a bit. If I turn it on again using the power button (instead of using disc button to boot to xblast first) the issue will happen again until I go back into xblast and reboot the bios. Also, the game will boot if I have the disc in the drive when first turning on the console. It only doesn't work when trying to insert it after reaching the dashboard (stock or xbmc). This issue only happens on the samsung drives. I have many thomson, philips and even 1 hitachi drive and the issue does not happen there. On first boot with these drives, the games always load first try without having to reboot the console. I can rotate these samsung drives between consoles and the issue follows them to whichever console I put them into. I am convinced that this is not a hardware issue because of this but some problem with either the BIOS or xbmc4gamers. I really hope someone can help me here as I have no idea what the issue can be and troubleshooting this had led me nowhere so far.

I took apart three consoles today that where sold as parts, all three had Phillips drives in them but one was a V1.0, all the research I've found says this drive only started at V1.1. The seals were intact, I was the first to open it up.

Anyone tried doing a tsop flash on DVD dongle. Thinking that it enabled dvd payback with i/o and it has a bios. Would be great for 1.6 consoles if it worked. I'm sure some files on dongle would need integrated into custom bios
