I have 2 xbox 360's, one has the 3 red lights and the other doesent read games.I was wondering if they are the same drive type could i like swap them over if i like flash them.Or could i take a lense out of one of them and put it in the other.
Well the one with the 3 Red Rings, just send it to Microsoft! They are covered under a 3 year warranty if you get the RRoD! The other one that doesn't read games, you could buy a drive of the same model, and just swap them. That requires opening the 360, and seeing if you have a Hitachi, Samsung, BenQ, or Lite-On.
I also have 2 360's right now and one doesn't read dvd's but does read games, while the other is an error 73 1021 which has something to do with the ethernet port.
You need to figure out your problem before you go swapping lenses or something else that might just be a waste of time. You can determine your drive type with only taking the face plate off and looking at the wire colors inside one of the holes. Just google to see some photos of the trays, then the color of the wires.
One of the drives are samsung so when i get to see the other one hopefully it should be samsung aswell, so i might swap the laser or buy a new one.Then flash it proberbly, if i can fix it.
Anyone got any tips
