These signals go thru 1Kohm resistors execpt for EJECT.

patx, I think you got pins 5 & 7 swapped. Read carefully what wenid said:
QUOTE(wenid)
Pin numbers are based on looking into the socket on an Xbox DVD...






I double checked my connections today w/ a DMM, and still no-go. When I boot into evox, it tells me that the tray is "OPEN". Thus, determining that tray_in or tray_out is incorrectly wired. Looking more into the signal traces, I really think that either TRAY_IN or TRAY_OUT is not correct. The picture below shows that TRAY_IN goes thru a complicated path to get to pin65. Is it really pin65?

Wenid, is there anyway that you can take a few snapshots of your setup?

sorry for that, typo, meant the pink one.....all those colors...just too many for my brain wink.gif

just took a closer look on your pics and saw that pink is 'serial data' and blue is 'ready'. got to try that.

Another typo, menelik ? smile.gif

Pink = ready
Blue = serial

Thankx truBB, I tried with the wires 5 & 7 swapped but no go anyway.. same as U... evox tells me that the tray is"open".
What if we use the tray_in, tray_out & eject points from your post #489 the READY & DATA from Wenid's one ??Will it work ??

@trubb

im swapping all colors ..this happens when you drink too much and try to write.
anyway, trubb, did you try to swap the tray signals? maybe they're just swapped - but im sure you tried that. maybe you could post the voltages of those points, this should lead us to the right way. moreover you got a nice oscope, why dont you use it wink.gif

btw, i dont wanna command you, i just ont have the equipment right here.

Unfortunately, I don't have an o-scope (I used my brother's). Yeah, I tried swapping it, but really, its a shot in the dark. I'd prefer to have the drive in hand, so I can check it myself. Well, that comes to thinking, NE1 with one of these LG drives willing to sell it?

This is really excellent! I've followed along so far and I am having the same problem as everyone else with the tray signals. I too am wondering about point '65' - all the other points are 49, 50 and 52 - these are all close together what about 51? Could anybody with a scope please check? wink.gif

Keep up the great work all - Wenid this couldn't have been done without someone willing to take the time and effort to do what you did for this hack!! beerchug.gif

What a great mod for ~$20.00!

As I posted before by using truBB's points on front & Wenid ones on back I HAVE IT RUNNING LIKE AN ORIGINAL DRIVE !!! ... just 4 wires and a 1k ohm resistor on the CD_RDY wire. The xbox even boot with the eject button !!! I played originals, backups, muzik, dvds ... everything works fine !!!!

Apparently it's not working with CD-Rs can you confirm this please?

By the way : congratulations to all of you who worked on this project, we now have a wonderfull alternative to the XBOX DVD drives. Also congratulations to the people of the french website http://gueux.be who worked hard with your contribution on this topic

A tutorial on this manipulation is also available but in french.

Thank you all smile.gif

I confirm no CD-R in this drive, it wont even try to read it... and i had some trouble with recent originals games like "MechAssault 2" ... it's freezing on the loading screen in evox. But with "007 agent under fire" it runs #1 ...
