Can someone post a picture of how the cables plug into the back of the disk drive on their xbox? Ours will not work - won't open or read disks. I suspect the problem is that the cable with the two white tips will not go in all the way to the DVD drive.
It stops about 2/3rds of the way in and I'm afraid to put any excessive amount of pressure on it until I'm sure it needs to be pushed in farther. Thanks!

Don't power that drive until you are 10000000% sure you got it right, or you will/have fried your PCB and the drive/xbox are trash!




From what you posted, chances are you fried it already and that pretty much means that you've got an xbox 360 paper weight.

Did you get a firmware dump before it stopped working?

Oh yeah, I didn't even think about that.

You've got to be kidding? Can we see a pic of yours?
