Hi
I had a samsung drive in my 360, however some of the gears and cogs broke so i got another samsung drive and just took the gears and cogs out of the new one and put it in my old samsung drive.

i disconnected the cables from my drive, and now i have put it all back and when i put a 360 game in it will not load it. it will try readin the disc and then nothing happens, it wont load, no error messages, just says 'eject' again. does any1 what i wrong?

i have not put a NEW drive in my 360 but i did disconnect it, so will i need to flash my drive or enter some key or somtin? if so, how doe i do this and are there any guides if i require to flash it.
thanks

You can't just swap drives like that. The DVD keys in the drives are married to the motherboard. Dump the firmware from your bad drive and flash it onto the new one. Since they are both Samsung drives you don't need to bother with extracting keys or spoofing.

As far a guides goes just search the ones on flashing samsung drives. There are tons of them. Maybe someone will point you in the right direction as I flash them from memory at this point.
