Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Microsoft Xbox 360 (Slim) Disc Drive Replacement with Improved DVD Drive & Laser - Phillips Liteon (DG-16D4S: 0225) + Nextec T8 Screwdriver by Tony Pierce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works great but you have to know what you're getting

My XBox 360 Slim ejected a lot during use (quit game) and it took forever to realize the tray was actually closed. This disk, purchased through nextec, fixed the problem. This is the perfect match. However, you MUST know: the XBox motherboard knows how to recognize the source drive for Microsoft DRM purposes or whatever. Just plug it in and you've got nothing but a second-rate DVD player. You either have to open the device and change the drive board (fairly easy soldering project) or somehow flash the board. product, even without modification. For real? It's like a dealer putting a Warantee Void if Opened sticker on your new car door or a new keyboard with a VOID sticker on a USB connector. I can understand not guaranteeing something I've opened up, replaced components and soldered, but it's totally unreasonable at the level you'd expect from a Dilbert comic.
