Is it a Samsung? I know there was some kind of issue where the Samsung would stop responding and cause the middle light to flash rapidly.

I dont know if its a samsung. The xbox is an elite system bought a little over a year ago. I dont know if they switched to samsung since then or not. Also the middle light just flashes once and the xbox sounds like its still on then the light flashes and it goes off. I have not tried to flash it ever.

The drive will probably be a BenQ or a Lite-ON. So there is no kind of errors on the screen?

Well the XBOX 360 is probably out of the 1 year warranty. You could try to fix yourself, just make sure you preserve your warranty sticker. If the drive powers on, you could dump the firmware and flash to a new drive.

Your drive is shot. You will need to replace it. If you get the exact same model, you can swap PCBs and avoid flashing.
