This is something I'm very new to-am fixing friends broken xbox RROD and now I have been asked to replace/repair a DVD drive.
could someone put this in simple english for me.
It looks like it should be simple but the more i read the more confusing it gets!
which printed circuit board? and by drive do you mean DVD? sorry but things are familiar if you have done it and for me it's like wading through mud! how I manage to tie my shoe laces or fix iphones is a mystery!
ok. looked at your links. I've got a mac. done a bit of searching and it would seem flashing with a mac is a pretty hard task... might just put this one in the too hard basket and let them sort it out themselves!
I had the same problem of it not reading games. I did the fix where I swapped out the circuit boards. There were two ribbon cables and nine super easy wires to solder. Lucky for me they were identical drives. Thanks for the ideas.
pollytintop will be eternally grateful.
