I've read guides and I know how to flash drives with Jungleflasher and iXtreme. A friend of mine has a broken LiteOn drive in his 360 and wants to replace it with another working LiteOn drive. Is there anything special/specific that needs to be done?

Read the key from the broken drive, and in Jungleflasher, hook up the replacement drive and load the broken drive's key and info as source? Thanks for the help

Has the broken drive already been flashed?

Exactly how is it broken?

No, both drives are stock. He said it's been giving "Please insert an Xbox 360 game disc" when he tries to play 360 games(originals). It will play dvds and music cds.

You will need to extract the Key, Inquiry, Identify, and serial data from the original drive and flash it to the new Lite-ON drive.

Or, you can swap the PCB boards which would require desoldering and resoldering a couple of wires.

Yea thats no problem. I just wondered if I had the idea down right: extract info from broken, load as source, connect new drive, etc

Only problem with the Lite-ON is that you will need a key reader. The key can not be extract via SATA like the other drives.

Key readers such as the CK3 Probe or the Maximus spear will work.

First option I'd do in this situation is just pull the new laser and install it in the old drive.

If you go the flashing option, then obviously your friend will no longer have a stock console. Unless he also wants the iXtreme update, of course.
