BTW, do you have a recc for a replacement drive? A coworker of mine said his drive won't read anymore and was contemplating buying a broken one off ebay to get a new drive. Are there better ways to do this? He has a hitachi drive (so he says.)

Thanks

Im not sure what your asking here. what is a recc? or what does it stand for? i tried googling it but came up short.

fixing DVD drives is something that I am working on right now.. whether the drive is not reading the disk, showing the "open tray" error or just not opening... These drives are somewhat a mystery to me as there is not a whole lot of info on how to actually fix them. Stupid tricks that people come up with but they really are doing nothing to fix the problem.. just for some reason the drive decides to start working again.

If the drive just does not read anymore I would guess the laser is broken or some component inside the drive is failing.

I suggest he just get a drive off a broken xbox (hopefully the drive is not broken..)

again.. once i figure out these problems ill post it up

basically this machine lifts up certain chips off boards that cannot be done so with a regular solder gun. The chips I guess you could say are heat treated on the board.. meaning it is placed in a specific spot then heat is applied that melts the solder causing the chip to join up with the board.

Ill get a video of it in action once I figure it all myself.

The work that actually fixes the xbox (reballing) is done by hand and that is going to be the hardest part i believe. Lifting up the chip will be all of a matter of pressing a button... once i calibrate it and everything.. putting the chip back in place after the reballing will take about 30 seconds of precision placement then all I will need to do is press a button to get it melted back on.

this is all theory. Tomorrow when the machine comes the true test comes.

and as squee said.. you SOL if you need certain layers fixed inside a chip. I do not encode or write the chips.. I just fix the bad solder jobs.

Replied. Don't get upset for the straight forward answer. It's the same answer I give to all the places that sends me e-mail regarding reballing. One other suggestion, get a few scrap chips and train your butt off. Check ebay and local places that recycle electronic products.
