Hi. I've been having trouble with the solderless kit. The kit itself works fine. I've cut the board, extracted the key, and applied the silver glue. I waited overnight for the glue to dry, but when I connect the drive to my xbox to test it, the xbox rrod's. When I connect the drive to the power adapter, the adapter lights flash then cut off and my computer doesn't see the drive. I didn't have this problem before I applied the glue so I scrape the glue off and tested the drive again on the adapter. Everything is fine. My computer sees the drive and the adapter powers up. I'm doing two liteons. One 93450 and one 83850c. Both have the same problem. I left the glue on one and it's giving me the rrod and doesn't power with the adapter. And the other I took the glue off and it does power. I'll include pics of both drives. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I think you have a short circuit somewhere.
1: if you have solder iron, try to solder it.
2: or remove the glue and try again with tiny amount to start with, and dry it using a hair dryer. Then use multimeter to check to make sure no short circuit.
thanks
