yeah I burnt the latest firmware to CD-R
I'll contact spedmetal as I have been looking for a few days now with no answers.
I'm unsure what a "bridge" is but my guess is it's a short. I've also did a resistance check on nearby pads to make sure none are touching.
Total loss here.. even if it was that I didn't burn the firmware CD-R, the laser refuses to spin up while the mod is powered.
Thanks for the help thusfar!
