sad.gif Yup, I get to join the club along with the other unfortunate losers who were too cheap to buy a modded drive and ended up with a Thompson/Phillips Paper weight.

Here is my experience....

I took the resistance mesurements with a Multi meter... the tutorial was a bit vague and mostly misleading.... I got 1.522 for resistance... I pulled it down to 1.480 and still nothing... so I went to 1.350 and It started to read CD-r which it didnt used to but still no DVD-RW... so I made it go a little lower... and um well yeah the pot was smoked... as in dead (*no actual smoke occured, it was a metaphor)

So unless reading CD-r, when you could already do CD-rw is Uber cool and awsome.... DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS MOD.

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this a 11 in stupid things to attempt.

IT IS NOT WORTH IT!

Alright, everybody get in line and lets start the flaming! No worries you will get your turn.... dry.gif

Just because you failed, doesn't mean no one should try to do it.

I don't really know actually, I just like the word.
I couldn't think of some other unfunny overly-used one liner to use.

he just likes to spam, him and soupy are like butt buddies, worthless posts, always spamming, i bet if you looked at his entire collection of posts since he joined like 5 months ago, 90% are worthless garbage as the same with soupy , this one posted more then 12 times in that stupid halloween post. and for me to keep on topic and not spam, well dude just because you failed at it doesnt mean others shouldnt try most people do it to save a drive that is getting DDE.

All you did is repeat what Iamcanadian said. Is that what you consider a useful post?

But just to be on topic, Im going to copy and paste another persons post and consider it useful since apparently thats how it works.. dry.gif

Stop flaming eachother!!!!


BTW, saying not to try one mod, is like saying you messed up your case with a dremel, and saying dont ever try case modding..

There are chances, and unfortunatly, yours was bad.

That's actually a great analogy. I'd sig it but my sig is getting quite large and reaching the limit.
Or saying you messed up on soldering so dont ever chip your xbox

Just because you failed means only means YOU failed, not that this mod should not be attempted.DVD drives are all diffrent, 1 outta 10 drives might not make it past the first tweak, but you shouldnt discourage other modders if this mod should be necessairy.
