Marty Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Posted August 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 No response to button pushes. Any XBOX I attach this drive to will just hang at boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted August 6, 2023 Report Share Posted August 6, 2023 Sounds like the disc drive board is dead. Therefore the Xbox can’t verify that there is a dvd drive connected and won’t complete the boot process. Time for a new drive or going all digital and get a module in place of the drive.

Failed caps on the DVD PCP and the resistor banks can also have open circuit resistors. I have also noticed with cerbios UDMA5 and a Philips DVD it boots to safe mode.

DVD-ROM drives seem to mess with bus speeds like crazy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
