Good, but. on Xbox systems

Putting this disc in wasn't much fun. I was expecting to have to change circuit boards, but there were a few issues. My old drive's circuit board was not the same size or configuration as the new one. The main problem was that the new drive's circuit board had a ribbon cable coming from the motor that spins the drive, while the old drive had the wires soldered directly to the circuit board. What I did was take the motor off the old drive and put it on the new drive. It wasn't difficult, theโ€ฆ

  • Handsome
Cons
  • Disappearing

NOT NEW VEHICLE - Mine was 2009 and used

Advertised as 'New'. It is NOT new as it will fail soon like my old 10 year old drive as this one I have is only a year newer? My original drive was made in 2008, this new drive was made in 2009 and had a well used Xbox 360 faceplate. I have emailed the seller and will update once I get a reply/solution. The seller of the first CD sent me an RMA and a prepaid label. I thought maybe I'll try another seller hoping they aren't liars either. The second CD arrived and it was older than my originalโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Uncertain

I had to solder four wires

Note that you will need to remove the circuit board from the old failed DVD drive. Xbox 360 devices come with three or four different brands of drives. If, like me, your DVD drive has stopped reading and you've cleaned the laser to no avail, check your brand. For me it was Phillips Light-on. You need to go to one of the many websites that explain how to disassemble and reassemble Xbox devices. Google it - Revain does not allow external links in reviews. If you don't have Phillips you have oneโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • No paint needed

Not exactly what was advertised but worked great.

I ordered this drive as a direct replacement for the DVD drive in my original Xbox 360 (thick) which was no longer able to read discs. The description of this disc on Amazon says they are sending: Model number: DG-16D2S Firmware version: AOA1 However what got me was: Model: DG-16D2S-09C Firmware version: AOA2 As the motherboard for DVD drives should be replaced to make it work in your 360, I wasn't sure if that would work. For those who don't know, there is an encryption key on the motherboardโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great replacement for a high end Xbox 360 with a failed drive

TL;DR: This is not a new drive, shame on the seller. It still works great and is still worth the price, but as others have said it's not "brand new". This disc fits my XBOX 360 Elite manufactured on 03/08/2010. There are six wires that need to be desoldered on each drive and then you need to solder the old board to the new drive. There are other 360s that look like my 360 and use a different drive. Be sure to order the correct one, search the internet for more information to determine if it isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Obsolete
