Hi everyone:


I have a modded 360 that got a ring of death. I'm wondering if I order a Core system, how easy will it be to replace the DVD drives?

More than likely you will get the lite-on drive
with a newer system. I have heard they can be a
bit touchy and a pain in the a$$.

Don't replace and just mod the Lite-ON drive. The Lite-ON drives aren't hard. Just follow the Jungle Flasher Tutorial. The Lite-ON drives just require additional steps.

nki00: If you do end up getting an arcade and don't want to try and flash it yourself, PM me.

Thanks for your replies. I read the Jungle Flasher Tutorial and it sounds _very_ complicated + some investment to buy that connectivity tool.

Still, how easy would it be to reflash my current Samsung MS28 with a new key?

You'd have to get the key from the new drive, it would be almost the same procedure than flashing the new drive.
