Phat consoles
How to check which drive is in your console- The
faceplate must be removed from your console. Look into the oval shaped hole on
the front of the drive to check the color of the tray switch wires. Each model
has different colored wires and this is how we can tell the drives apart. The
only way to check the firmware revision is to open the console and check on the
drive itself.
Slim consoles
The slim console's Lite-On drive comes in two hardware revisions, the differences been the embedded flash chips in the drive controllers. These flash chips are the MXIC (Macronix) and Winbond flash. How to check which drive is in your console: The console must be opened to check if you have an MXIC or WINBOND
controller. Take out the disc
drive, remove the screws, remove the cover and turn it over. Take a look at the MEDIATEK chip and the writing all the way to the bottom. It will either start
with 03 or 05.
