After I get the new one installed Ill update you guys on my findings; and yes it was a pre-soldered clip/chip setup

also I never had any issues with drive or retail disks not working. just never saw the red light except for at powerup.

I have checked resistance from drive to D2Ckey. Ive tried to switch regions, and have also used 5 different dvd types using ImgBurn still no luck. Below is what the leds do when disks installed.

Can anyone tell me if this is right:

Power on---- both blue and red light up for a second or two

insert Retail----- Blue flickers showing access... NO red at all

insert Backup ------ Nothing from either.

Can it be I just dont have a good backup made?

Any help would be extremely helpful. Thanks
