This video explains how to properly replace a disc drive in a xbox 360 due to disc read error messages. This method is done without flashing the drive which can cause serious problems and can end up getting the xbox 360 banned from xbox live. If your xbox 360 is still under warranty I do not recommend do this yourself, instead contact xbox support and set up a repair that should cover the cost to fix it. If your warranty has expired then this is the best way to fix your xbox 360 without worrying about getting banned. Although, if you want to be able to play backup copies of xbox 360 games then you must "flash" the drive. There are plenty of videos on that elsewhere.

  • yes the firmware is ...

    yes the firmware is on the logic board you will be replacing. there is no difference in the drives. your logic board is what makes the drive work with your 360 so all the new parts in the new drive will work with the old logic board.
