[QUOTE="FAST6191, post: 6377030, member: 32303"] I believe the xbox drive was tied to the console like the 360, however as everybody went other modding ways it was easier to ignore and replacement/repair is tricky (most would instead head down the laser replacement path, give or take what I mention in a moment). I will say though that a lot of the time the drive was not dead but the little rubber band inside it getting messed up. If the drive does not open then it might well be this. Take it out and clean it and the thing it runs on, possibly replace it if you can find something suitable. Equally even if it does not eject normally then keep trying and it might eventually pop out. Stick a copy of splinter cell in there and do the softmod, after that ignore the DVD as it is of limited use. You can do a hotswap mod, and yeah if it is an older one you could TSOP mod it as well. The ones that did not involve opening it up though did involve having a game boot. [/QUOTE]

If you have one, then chances are is that it needs a reballing of the chips.
