Ok I have an old xbox 360 (white) that i want to mess around with. I am trying to find the model number to my liteon cd drive. (nephews put a key into the drive and messed it up). I took it apart before i stored it to try and fix it with no luck, i recently got my xbox back out but I'm missing the CD drive cover that has all the important info on it. Is there anyway i can get the model of the drive with out the case?
Look straight at the front of the drive and you will see two wire together.The colour corresponds to the drive type.Here is a link to determine which dvd drive type you have.

Does "nephew put a key into it and messed it up" mean that your nephew tried to flash it and now the key is mismatching/missing? If you don't have the original key for the drive the Xbox 360 is nothing but a DVD player and there is no reasonable way to retrieve the key.
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

No as in my 4 year old nephew put an actual house key in the drive. It wont read any discs anymore and i want to replace the drive.

If you have a Lite-On drive you need a working Lite-On drive as a replacement. There is only one version of Lite-On drives for Xbox 360 Phat. You also need to know how to dump the key from the old Lite-On, which could be a total pain seeing that you have to start it in half open mode to do so. The Jungleflasher Tutorial is a pretty good point to start how to do it, it can be downloaded from their website, just google it.
Also googling for PMT or Pogo Mo Thoin method brings useful results.
