  • The model *does* matter. At least, if you're replacing a Philips/Lite-on drive, it does.

    I'm going through this process right now, and I've read reviews of people who were replacing a Lite-on with another Lite-on (even the same model), but if they're manufactured different dates they can have different internal components, such as differing PCB boards.

    Hope this clears it up any other poor fuckers with Lite-ons out there, lmao. Everything else seems easier to replace.

  • what about the sim?

  • Ben-key and on-lite? Lmao xD!

    Bro, it's pronounced "Bin queue" and the other drive is a Lite-on, not On-Lite. Good videos though.

  • woow man, your videos are great and really helpful; i would need to pay someone for repairing my xbox but now i can do it myself

  • thank u man for suppot us i've problem with game of Xbox360,like (GOW 3) & (driver-fran

    sesco)it's not working

    i've before update to dashboard 2011

    have u sulotion for me help me if u can

  • Thanks helped a lot!:)

  • I have a benq drive ( two white / gray wires. is this a good drive brand

  • @fireepookemon Yes it is, definitely my favorite drive.

  • I went on your website and I couldn't find a Benq Lite On Drive for the Xbox 360 What do I do.

    Please Send Me a message Thanks.

  • If your not sure you can look on the disc drive its self...top left corner, and on the bottom left corner. Also If you don't have the Fancy doo-dads torqx screws drivers. You can improvise like i did. To open the xbox case I used something sharp..like a pointed knife or something to pop the hinges open...then for the torq screws I used a fairly pointed philllips...a little pressure downward with a twist and i managed to get them off. good luck on your repair.

  • i have an xbox 360 slim what kind of drive do i have please help

  • @3clopez it applies the same tot he tutorial.

    The slim is no different from any other xbox except smaller.

  • thanks man

  • Thanks!

  • mine says 6-1????

    plz help

  • Damn I have liteon sucks

  • dude your videos helped so much thank you thank thank you lol

  • hey ma xbox brand is ben Q and i bought a samsung would it still work plzz awnser me or som1 plz help me

  • @ThetSInsane No it wont.

  • @ThetSInsane No, the brand of the replacement has to be the same as the original. This is because the original drive and your motherboard have a keycode that will only allow it to read games from your original drive. How do you get around this? Go watch his video "How to Fix A Broken Xbox 360 Phillips Benq and LITE on Drive"

  • @ThetSInsane no has to be same brand

  • ok i am sure you get asked this alot but i am having a crysys i just bought the new gears and a new 12 month gold subscription and to no fail my xbox died the day i bought all this GRRR. so my question is this i know i have a lite on drive thanks to your video but when i look for the dg-16d2s-o9c all i seem to find is the dg-16d2s do i need one that is a dg-16d2s-09c or will my drive obard fit on a dg-16d2s??? thanks for your help

  • XBS, great video! Very straightforward and easy to follow. Keep up the great work!

  • That was easy

  • thx

  • thanks man helped a lot

  • thanks man. cooooooooooooooooooool video

  • Comment removed

  • Your videos are extremely helpful. I finally fixed my Xbox! Thanks bud!

  • what about the firmware of the drive?

  • do u need to change the drive to replace or can it just work like that?

  • It's easier then all that to figure out the drive you need. When you remove it you'll notice the top of the drive has a sticker. In the case of the samsung at least you'll see that samsung is the maker right there on the sticker

  • where can you one?!

  • i dont see anything in the hole plz help :(

  • @haloking3000 Same here :(

  • @haloking3000 if you watch the video the hitachi has no wired

  • @haloking3000 Hey, i opened my xbox and the drive goz i had the same problem but you need a bright light and if you dont see it try to turn the xbox like lifting the back or lowering the back of xbox little bit so you should see the wires. Hope this helped nad sorry my rally bad english :))

  • @haloking3000 shit i have 3 xbox and there isnt shit in any of the wholes

  • @haloking3000 you're going to have to open the case, and check from the inside, i was luck enough to put a small torx driver in there, and move around till i seen i have yellow wires

  • hey dude youve helped me alot on fixing my xbox. But my xbox disk drive broke again. i need another drive

  • Yer and then u buy the one you need replace it for the old 1, and then you find out you need to download oads of shit of the internet and install it so the xbox 360 drive can read all of your xbox 360 games, so i now have to wast 1 month on this xbox 360 dvd drive -_- (HELP USE OUT XBOX SLAVE PLZ MAKE VID ON HOW TO INSTALL THE STUFF TO MAKE THE DISC CRIVE COMPATIBLE)

  • Hey, If you put in a different drive then what your Xbox started with, will it still work? I just got mine fixed by a guy i know and i think he put in a different drive then what I had (Lite-on). I wasnt able to install the latest system updates and now i have an E64 and E65 Error.

  • Usher, why are you teaching this? You should be learning to sing.

  • u look like Usher.

  • why cant anyone just read the CD drive case label?

  • @AmericansCan1 Ok then, thanks for the warning btw...

  • @AmericansCan1 he is not going to sue Xbox Slave he is going to sue the people that made that guide...

  • figures my hard drive is the benq 35.99 still cheaper than a brand new xbox

  • Mines is gray with a 6-1 on it. Does that means it a hitachi or Thomson or something else completely

  • Can a liteon be replaced with a samsung or a benq?

  • Fuckin benQ for the win. :D

  • thanks for posting tthis really helps

  • Which ones the quietest?

  • @jpollorena BenQ

  • I have 2 xboxes and if what you said is true, then one is Samsung and the other is LiteOn

  • I have two red wires what kind of drive is mine?

  • @zippoboy123 wtf did you not watch the video? u hav a samsung!

  • i ordered samsung and mine is lite on will the samsung still work

  • FUCK YEAH I HAVE A BEN Q

  • no it wolnt run right if you do that

  • I have a Lite on drive but does it really matter drive you have.I mean can I buy a Ben-q and it will still work even though it a different type.

  • dame man you smart pleas give your self a pat on the back (clap) (clap)

  • ca je le savais déjà. c'est facile de savoir quel type de lecteur on a sur notre xbox.

    Hey man thanks for your videos its so cool but we are lot francophone who don't speak english. its possible to translate your videos in French?

  • ca je le savais déjà. c'est facile de savoir quel type de lecteur on a sur notre xbox.

    pour ceux et celles qui ne comprennet pas l'anglais. le mec dit pour savoir quel genre de lecteur on a sur notre xbox 360. il faut démonter le couvercle de devant (façade) et sous le lecteur disque (entrée) il y a un trou suffit de voir la couleur des 2 fils. par exemple si il est blanc ça signifie que c'est un BenQ (première génération de xbox360). ansi de suite

  • Hey i really need some help. I have a hitachi drive and I wanted to replace it with a new one. I was wondering if I can just take the drive key out from the old one and put it in the new one and it works or do I have to flash the key in order for it to work. I read online that you would have to do that and it worried me. Also, when ordering the drive does it matter what the model number is of my drive because i know that the firmware changed with different models.

  • all right man, i did what you said to do in this vid and in the last one i watched, gotta hand it to you bro, fixed that shit like a pro i did

  • OMG A big thanks too you becasue I don't want to fash the wrong xbox 360 with the wrong files

  • u look like akon dude

  • this is wrong

  • what if i have red and white cables (samsung drive) but the top of the drive looks exactly like a benq drive nd on the sticker it says "phillips and benq digital storage corporation" ????

  • why did u flag the webcam

  • which drive is best?

  • I have a LiteOn, what a turnOFF.

  • man usher really helped me out

  • Thanks bro this really helped.

  • haha

  • Ok i have a 1st generation xbox 360 pro any clue as to what drive i have?... I really need to know . thx.

    Jesus fucking christ, some people are SO thick!

  • i dont have any ribbon and no plastic piece over that hole. any ideas on another way to find out what kind of drive it is

  • biggest youtube fail ever 1:27

  • I just recently purchased my friend's Xbox360 for 100 and he did told me the drive wasn't reading games. I need to thank you for telling me how to replace a drive and take apart my 360. the drive is on order and cannot wait to play my second recent gen system.

  • @wyldfox2007 You got diddled. You could buy a brand new Arcade for like £120.

  • @ThatGuyyy123456789 and btw i think he means $100 not pounds :P

  • @tikterd12345 Still got done. You can find them for much cheaper than that.

  • I have to thank xbox slave for reminding me about the changing out the boards inside the dvd drive, I forgot about it.

    see my xbox 360 f'd up recently and I contacted microsoft about it, those assholes told me $120.00 to replace a faulty drive, I picked up a new drive for $25.00 on ebay and did it all myself, see I have the second gen with the HDMI, I had the service contract, and it was fine for the last 2 years until ast month then the laser started to fart out

  • i took my xbox apart. how do i know what type of drive i have, the face plat is dissconnected and the drive is alrready taken apart

  • Thanks after watching your other video I was curious to know which one I have. Anyway Microsoft wants $100 to fix plus all the shipping BS and my warranty has expired so I may as well fix myself for around $30

  • wait so your saying if i just find a drive that is the same brand i can swap them out? please message me back need to know urgently thanks

  • @lopo398 yep

  • Dude you rock! Best Xbox "how to" videos on here. I'm tired of trying the so called Xbox fixes that others have posted and just to put a new drive in it and be done with it. Thanks for the info.

  • can you replace the samsung drive with the hitachi drive? if you just take the cables out of the samsung one and place them in the hitachi will it work?

  • i became a ps3 fanboy after my xbox red ringed twice and the second time the cpu and the gpu were fried ive had a ps3 for 4 years now thats twice the time ive had the 360 for so yea now i got another 360 and guess wat it did jus guess

  • ty usher XD

  • I have a Samsung drive in mine can i use one from my old one thats a benQ?

  • what is one white wire????

  • Can't you just look on the label on the top of the drive? Mine says Phillips and Lite-on. I can do this because I opened my whole xbox up though.

  • wat would happen if i put the wrong DD in my x box, whould it not work, explode?

  • The subscribe button isn't yellow anymore >.<"

  • could you do a video showing how to place the drive in the xbox?

  • thx

  • Thanks for making this easy to understand. The other videos were confusing and disorganized.

  • does the version matter?

    

  • what can i do to a liteOn drive

  • my brother pulled out the whole disc tray so i dont know what one to buy please help me find out

  • THANKS man i found out i have a hitachi drive for my 2008 Arcade Model!

    TY

  • I have an interesting question and I know that this is going to be a serious longshot.

    The question is: Is it possible to install a blue-ray drive into a 360 system?

  • i have a yellow wire and two black wires can you please tell me which one i have?!?!

  • why the fuck is the philips one heavella expensive.! thats the one i have

  • Comment removed

  • I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH I COULD KISS YOU IF YOU WERNT A GUY!!!

  • is it just me or dose that guy look like usher lol

  • Just you.

  • Can you list the model number for the different drives?

  • king kong looking mothafucka

  • hey i have a hitachi drive but i heard the lite on drive is better and quieter. Can I not just replace the hitachi with a lite on

  • @SonofAmerica1111 No you can't, the motherboard is programmed to work with only a certain type of disc drive, sorry.

  • i dont get it, if some one wants to play ps3 why do you have to hate on them for wanting to play on one, ps3 fanboys say the same shit about xbox, both have their ups and downs...all of you dickheads who keep hating on each other for playing on the other consol, get the fuck over it

  • @tikterd12345 I agree. I love Xbox 360 but I don't hate PS3 users,, my cousin has a PS3 I've played it and liked it. Even if I didn't like I wouldn't say: You stupid! You should bought an Xbox!

    So, shitty assholes, SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST PLAY YOUR GAME! JUST PLAY! YOU DON'T NEED TO FIGHT TO SHOW WICH IS THE BEST CAUSE YOU KNOW IT'S YOURS! THE OTHERS WILL THINK WHAT THEY WANT! AND THAT'S IT!

  • @tikterd12345 SHUT UP!!! :'(

  • @ThatGuyyy123456789 PS3 FAN BOY FAGGOT

  • @tikterd12345 :'( Words hurt.

  • @tikterd12345 tere is so many systems out there, I have owned almost all of them since the 70's and I like them all, the ps3 is ok, but I still love the PS2 better, I like the ps3, but I don't own one, not enough games on it that I like, but I am not gonna slam someone for owning one, each system has had their share of bugs, the ps3 has had them, that is why they got rid of the backwards playability, and the xbox 360 has had it's share as well with the RROD, so it's a no win on what is better

  • @rallygsc thank you, i own every console so far (SNes = best so far) and i think they are all ok but none of them compare to SNes and PC :)

  • @tikterd12345 you sir, are a genius.

  • @Kaneownzu lol are you being serious or sacastic?

  • @tikterd12345 im being serious

  • @tikterd12345 well said

  • @tikterd12345 you mispelled console =)

  • @jespin562 just tryin to prove a point :P

  • ive got a hitachi drive and if i want to bypass flashing my replacement i have to swap the chip out right? well i noticed that on the hitachi model the chip is connected to the drive by some wires that are soldered on directly to the chip. will i have to solder my replacement drive onto my old chip if i want it to work?

  • When will you be getting the BenQ in stock? I need one right away. Thanks.

  • I have a LiteOn and mine is burned up, but I can't find any option to purchase a LiteOn on your website =/, could you help me out?

  • I have a liteOn drive where do i buy the liteOn drive from your website?

  • so thanx man it is does help so i dont have 2 look inside which model i have so soon i will order new samsung drive so umm i have to swap chip from old drive i have right der into new one or just leave new one n remove old one ??????

  • if i have yellow wires, is it ok to order a benq drive and swap them out or order a hitachi drive and swap it out? or do i have to have a liteon drive? cant seem to find one anywhere

  • I have the Yellow wires and a Liteon Drive, i cant seem to find a liteon drive on Xboxslave or anywhere . He mentioned that it is the same as a Benq drive, can i just buy a BenQ drive and put the Liteon circuit board in a Benq Drive?

  • I have the Yellow wires and a Liteon Drive, i cant seem to find a liteon drive on Xboxslave or anywhere . He mentioned that it is the same as a Benq drive, can i just buy a BenQ drive and put the Liteon circuit board in a Benq Drive?

  • @SoggyOatmeal

    The Xbox 360 doesn't ACTUALLY have the red arrow there, just take off the faceplate and look in the little hole right next to the disc tray and match it up to the corresponding colour in the video. Your Welcome :D

  • @SoggyOatmeal

  • My xbox dosn't have the red arrow, where do I locate the little hole so I can find the wires.

  • yo i bought a new liteon drive and it wont work i looked it up on google and i have to "spoof" it? or "flash" it? i dont know what this is please help i been offline for 5 months :( please reply back

  • @KillaSabb1 where did you get your liteon drive?

  • @YOUNSTER007 i bought it off some random website but let me tell ya it doesnt work i put it in and it dfoesnt work u have to use ur original disk drive unless u wanna do some hardshit its called "flashing your drive" its too hard for me i said fuck it im just gonna buy a new xbox when i get the money ive been offline for 6months =(

  • @KillaSabb1 thanks man i ordered mine

  • @KillaSabb1

    Yeah man seriously,I have been using my friends fucked up xbox for 2 months now until I buy my FOURTH fucking xbox thanks to this,idk why they just can't sell one universal drive for xbox,i don't care if it cost like 60 dollars,it will save me the 200 dollars of buying a new xbox

    Microsoft has let me down so much.

  • @volcomish ye its like they program their xboxes to break every1 i had lasted 1yeari need a dam warranty is what i need i want a ps3 but none of my friends will get 1 so i guess im looking at another xbox meh as soon as i get it ill start saving for a ps3 that way if the xbox breaks i can just play the ps3 lol

  • @KillaSabb1 DON'T buy a ps3...lol I have one and have honestly only used it like less than 10 times in the 2 years i have had it.

    Xbox might be a piece of shit but they still have better online play and games.

    Ps3's online might be free,but it's so boring.

  • @volcomish really why is it so boring?

  • @volcomish Idiot fucking liar I've had my xbox for 4 years and its fine if you've had that many xbox's then they would obviously still be in warranty.... just a PS3 fanboy (not that I've got anything up with PS3 I've got one I just prefer my xbox) trying to make xbox look bad by lying shut up!

  • @LxNightriderxL You're a fucking idiot,go read my comment again I even put it in caps. Xbox will always be better than Ps3,just a shame microsoft cant sell disc trays that work on any xbox.

  • You said model #doesn't matter? What about HW ver, and FW ver., several combinations out there but none that exactly match mine, from research seems to be a hack protection thing, so should it matter if I switch the PCB?

  • thanks im gonna order my new drive now

  • Hey xboxslave shat part do we clean on the xbox if our xbox is overheating?

  • DUDE!!! Thanks so much for all your help!  All your videos have been soooooo helpful.....my house is back to normal...cause the xbox slave saved us!

  • You are awesome, Love this!!! Thanks

  • hey i looked on ur website but i couldn't see the LiteOn drive so if you know were could i get one or if they might sell it on ebay?

  • So if I have a LiteOn drive that is broken, I can only buy other LiteOn drives even if I switch the chip?

  • sweet i got a new elite and all and my pro wont read games so i need the benQ drive i might give it to family or sell it.......

  • "Beke" lol

    "Hatache" lool
