How to change the circuit board in a Ben Q/ Phillips dvd drive for the XBox 360

http://www.lvmobileproductions.com
This video is an explanation of how to change out the circuit board of the Ben Q/ Phillips dvd drive for the XBox 360. When I could not find a video on the subject when I needed to do the repair, I decided to video my first attempt. I hopes this helps anyone that wants to attempt this repair on their own and please comment if you have anything to add. I dubbed in the audio because the original was very poor.

hey, do u have to solder the wires off? or is it possible to remove with all the wires attached? im reluctant to have to spend more then i have to...

@AudaciousGemini Well. I have seen this repair done by splicing the wires and using electrical tape. I won't say that you cannot do it this way, but it is not the recommended way to make the repair.

Does anyone know where the best place to buy a new drive is??

@mattch21 Thumbmonkey on ebay has been good for me in the past.

Great vid man, do you remember what wattage you had your iron set to? I'm guessing maybe 18?

[LVProductions71]

@go0nTMM Actually, 30. I do not recommend using such a high setting if the user has not had a great deal of experience with one. 15 to 20 should do the trick without doing damage to the board.

@ESOxiiNsAnE hey im about to make a video when mine comes in so just subscribe to me

@mattch21 try tmart, 30.00 and change shipped with a couple tools..

this is the best video i've seen to explain what to do to avoiding flashing the drive. i used the same procedure on a philips dg-16d2s and it works like a charm now. just swap the boards and solder the connections in the same order and it will work.

Hey man Im getting an error when I put my xbox game in the xbox saying: TO PLAY THIS DISC, PUT IT IN AN XBOX 360 Console. Would this fix the issue if i replaced the drive like this?
