I recently picked up a 360 with a hitachi 78 drive that wont open. When I power it on it says reading even tho there is no disc in the tray, when the eject is pressed it says opening but does not open. The drive opens and closes and appers to work fie when connected to my PC. I have dumped the drive and flashed the key to another working hitachi 78 drive and still get the same results. Any ideas?

Check cables and connections from motherboard to hitachi.

I have replaced the cables. Could it be that the drive does not match the motherboard?

No, if the drive didn't match the motherboard it would at the very least eject. If you've replaced cables it sounds like the actual ports on the board are damaged. My logic says if the drive works in your computer and you've tried different cables for the DVD drive in the xbox then it's the motherboard.

I suppose I would get the play DVD message if the drive didnt match, all the pins appear intact on the mobo ports. I guess I need to pull the board and inspect it closer.
