How I Fixed An Original Xbox Console's Dvd-Rom Drive

Will a Xbox DVD drive work in my current Xbox, even though the ROM version is different from the original 1?
The model of the DVD drive is still the same.
Thanks

If you are talking about the original Xbox, then yes, it will work.

If you are talking about the Xbox 360, then no, you'll need to flash your original drive key for the new drive to work.

Happy Gaming

I own a 1.4 versioned xbox. My dvd drive works well, there is just one problem. It doesn't play any form of audio. When a music cd is in it will try to read for about 2 mins., then a disk cannot be read alert will apperar. It will play games and dvd's flawlessly just not audio. What should I do?

Make sure your music CD is not scratched up too much. If it is you can buy a resurfacing kit at WalMart for about 20 dollars. If you are sure that the disk is not scratched (it plays fine in a cheap CD player) too much you will need a new DVD drive for your Xbox. You can find one on ebay fairly cheaply. The three most popular brands are Thomson, Philips, and Samsung. The Thomson is the cheapest at around 30 dollars plus shipping. The model number for that one is TGM600. I'm not sure of the model numbers for the other drives but with a little research you shouldn't have any trouble finding them. Replacing the drive is extremely simple, six to eight screws. You will need a Torx 10 and Torx 20 driver or driver bit. Directions are also available on the web. Just do a google search for 'Xbox DVD replacement'. Hope this helps.

When replacing your dvd drive (xbox 360) do you need to switch the motherboard to the new dvd drive?

Hello to answer you quiestion no. all you have to do is take the to cables which are located in the back of the dvd drive and simply take them off. you might need to tug just a little bit so they can come once thats done just plug the cables into the new dvd drive,plain and simple. please feel free to contact me if you have anymore quesitons so go ahead and ask away. hope this helped

I ask because my ORIGINAL xbox isn't reading games very well anymore and I would like to fix it. Would it be possible to fix it without replacing the drive?

Also, DO NOT say shit like "ooo get a 360" because I already have one and I just want to give up on this champ... been running since Nov '01.

You can get it refurbished by Microsoft for $75, or you can get a new one, if you're lucky enough to find a Gamestop store that will sell them for $50 in stock.
