hey guys , my blinkin xbox 1 dvd drive has given up the ghost and died
nowadays this isnt much of a problem because it was only used as media centre under my tv
but , i'd like to know if possible if i cant revive the old box as currently it wont boot , showing error codes 7 or sometimes 12
i have checked all the ide cables & power cables all secured
i did a tear down on the drive , cleaned the lens etc , put it back together - dvd drive now wont open
so i guess a few options
(1) new dvd drive
(2) a chip with a bios supporting no dvd check
(3) ?????
is there a way with a softmodded box to run the thing without a dvd drive ?
somewhere i read about just using the dvd controller board with the drive attached ?
anyways , much thanks in advance , hopefully i can breathe a bit of life into the old timer !
oh and i know its still a bit early - but Merry Xmas
