Hello, my name is Joe,
We bought our Xbox 360 Elite five or six years ago. For a couple of months, we've had some problems with our disk drive. We would have to push up on it a bit to get it open. However, someone had attempted to pry it open from the side, jamming it shut sticking about an inch out. So I took apart the Xbox and removed the drive. After some examination, it will open about halfway and then stop as if it was open all the way...
Could it be one of the gears has skipped a tooth?
The drive will also not close all the way (the sticking out an inch prevents it from closing properly).
Regarding a replacement, apparently the drives are irreplaceable? Something about certain ID keys created on both the console and disk drive?
Does this mean I can't go online and purchase another Xbox 360 disk drive as a replacement?
Thanks guys
