It's always the same story with these drives. The tray won't open.
I've re-capped a few of these, with the end result being that the tray still won't open, the EEPROM is corrupt, or the drive won't read discs anymore. I had the last thing happen to me today. I thought I'd tweak the laser pot a little, I think I destroyed it when I turned it, because I wasn't getting any resistance reading off it at all after that.
It's always the same LELON caps. And replacements are expensive too because they're always ultra-miniature and rare. LG drives have a much better chance of repair in my opinion, but it's a shame that LG is rubbish (Panasonic chipset).
How about an LG quality drive with Mediatek logic?
