Oh your good man. I'm sorry I misunderstood you. Even if the drive doesn't take a disc you can still install a No-BD firmware just fine. If you didn't get a boot loop from installing the HFW this time them your good. You won't have a working drive but it's not needed with a No-BD firmware and Cobra. Heck if it doesn't get stuck in a boot loop and cam still run apps etc you don't even need a No-BD firmware. The daughter board is working fine and that's all you need working. The drive itself doesn't have to be operational. I'm sorry I was misunderstanding you. And I'm always glad to help out a fellow gamer.
