Self Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Video tutorial on how to pot tweak the Thomson TGM600 DVD drive found in the Original Xbox. It is recommended to have an ohm meter so you can see your adjustments before powering the drive back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Yeah it can if done right. Just remember, VERY slight touches of the potentiometer make HUGE adjustments. You don't need to reduce the resistance all that much to make a difference. It's harder than it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, Will give it a look and do a little research before i try it myself. i have like 3 or 4 dead Thompson drives laying around. Maybe i can bring some life back to one of them for a little while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
