Hitachi 47D Eject problem after flash
After SLAX failed to load I wen't the cross pin method. Ingeniously, I misread the chart on first attempt and crossed pins 8+1 instead of 9+0. I realised it after the first attempt and quickly fixed the re-wire. The drive loaded into MODEB fine, and flashed without any issues. However now when the Xbox starts up, I can't eject the tray. If I hit the eject button, the centre light flashes but nothing happens. If I manually eject the drive with a paperclip and put a disc in nothing happens. I found a solution on another site, where if I switch the Xbox off, manually insert a disc leave the tray open and switch it back on, it works. The DVD Tray will retract itself, and the disc will read. The game seems to work fine also.
Is this a common problem after screwing up the PIN Jumper method? Is it a bricked DVD Drive or have I burnt something out on the Xbox motherboard?

Re: Hitachi 47D Eject problem after flash
This is why the SHORT method is unsafe.
1 = +12V supply
8(a) = output : eject (falling edge (0V) closes, rising edge (+3.3V) opens)
8(b )= output : eject (normally 0V, rising edge of a +3.3V pulse opens/closes tray)
You shorted 12 Volts to the WRONG pin, thus you messed it up. You either blew the circuit in the Drive, so the drive does not receive the signals from the 360, OR, you blew the motherboard circuit that SENDS the commands.
The correct pins:
0 = GND
9(a) = input : tray_status (0V = opening/closing, +3.3V open/closed)
9(b) = input : tray_status (+3.3V = open, 0V = closed)

Re: Hitachi 47D Eject problem after flash
Thanks for the reply Powerslave. Is there any way I can test to see whether it's the drive that's failing to eject or the motherboard, by applying 3v to pin 8 or something along those lines... If so, could u please recommend how I would troubleshoot it? I fully understand that it is my stuff up, and trying to furthur isolate/fix the problem may well stuff it up even more, but I'm either going to fix it or buy a new xbox to resolve the problem anyway...

Re: Hitachi 47D Eject problem after flash
Connect another Xb360 drive, doesn't matter if it has your key or not (just testing), and test the Eject tray in/out functions. If the donor drive works with no problem (besides NOT playing games), then it's just the drive. If you still have your Key, then you can buy another drive, and reflash it with YOUR key.
If you put another drive in, and it still doesn't tray in/out, then your XB motherboard took the hit.
