Xbox Repair Help

[Playerdown]

My kids have an xbox that stopped reading discs. My son ordered another disc drive (off of Ebay) and tried to install it, but no luck. It didn't have the red ring, but when I finally got a disc to work, it said " you must play this disc on an xbox" Like it thinks it's a pc or something. Anyone have any experience with this?

One of my buddies had the same issue and apparently each disc drive has a chip in it that makes it only work on one xbox. You have to open the drives and switch the chips for it to work. I'm not for sure on this but you can always search youtube just to make sure you know what to do. I know youtube isn't the most credible source for fixing a console but, hell, its broken anyways.

I ended up sending it to a place in PA. For $50.00 They will fix the RROD and give you a 1 year warranty.

For $55.00 they will fix any disc drive problems. I got it back and it seems to work good.
