XBOX help

common problem replace the DVD drive.

Very ture about it being a common problem, but you can't just go out and buy any dvd drive and put it in an xbox. You either have to buy a used xbox dvd drive from someone or there is a dvd drive you can hack the crap out of and make it work.. Looks like too much effort for me to try and have it not work right. I'd look into getting a new optical assembly, but first I'd try cleaning it.

The DVD drive has failed, there's places that sell replacements, I don't have a link on hand but Google should turn something up, just look for Xbox DVD replacement.

forget Google there is a guy on ebay that sells the thompson drives new for 24.95 i think just search for the xbox replacement drive.... comes from canada unless you can do better than 24.95 for a new drive
