    You will need to read the firmware off the broken drive and spoof it over to another drive

    Have a read here http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...updated-53951/

      Back to basics.... Each DVD drive is paired to it's xbox via a code. Spoofing is the art of copying this code onto another DVD drive.

      It is likely to cost you money to get the hardware needed to spoof the drive. Not sure on price, it cost me about ?10 for a PCI card with external Sata ports.

      You could try adjusting the resistance on the laser power, but you will need a multimeter to do this. This is also only a temporary solution, if it even works.

      Usually the cheapest option is to replace the laser in the original DVD drive. Depending on which one you need it will be between ?6 & ?11 for a new laser. Fitting is quite easy but a soldering iron is needed to remove the anti-static point before installing.
