Lets
look at
our schematic
shall
we ?

Wow
that’s
a mess.
A Good
idea would
be to
read the
German
tutorial
(with
translation),
he goes
into more
detail
on what
exactly
is going
on, but
I’ll
try to
explain
it. Also
you’ll
notice
I hacked
up his
diagram
to fit
mine,
Just wanted
to thank
that guy
for his
hard work
in putting
the original
tutorial
together.
In a
nutshell
that little
yellow
wire connected
to the
old DVD-Rom,
serves
as a few
things:
a) Power
for the
drive
b) A
extended
eject
button
c) Sensor(s)
to know
when the
tray is
open,
and closed
d) Sensor
to know
when there
is a disc
in the
drive
e) And
the E
pin I
don’t
know,
maybe
has something
to do
with the
original
copy protection
authentication
What
we are
going
to attempt
is to
give that
yellow
wire the
information
that it
wants.
