I had an XBOX 360 that had the three red lights and then no video output. I bought another XBOX 360 that had a disk read problem. Since one box had one probem and the other another, I just swapped out parts. Now all I did was open the one with the dvd drive problem and simply disconnected thedrive and removed it. I then opened up my other one and disconnected the good dvd drive and placed it in the better console. So just to be clear, all I did was swap out drives. When I started the fixed console back up, I got the "To play this disk place it in a XBOX 360 console" error. These consoles were the same generation and the drives were the same..just a year apart in age. The console plays DVDs fine. But what about the games?? Every game is the same error. I know nothing about flashing or some "key" or how to install software on it, or "removing the chip" or anything. All I want is the damn thing to work. What do I need to do? The drive is obviously good since it plays DVDs, the console is clean and does not overheat. What patch doI need to download and install to get this thing to register 360 games?
On a side note, I'm in Iraq and don't have access to game sites on my restricted computer, so please don't refer me to a link because I won't be able to get to it. If you do have a solution, please email me at *email removed*.
ANY help that would fix this error would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!
