    • Grasp the hard drive assembly and press the release button while lifting its front edge.

    • Remove the hard drive assembly from the top vent.

    WARNING: Just replacing the drive will not make it work correctly. Microsoft has married the drives to the motherboard. Hence, in order to get full operation out of the drive you'll have to perform more steps not listed here. Search in the FAQ on this specific topic for more details. Otherwise, before buying a new drive, try cleaning the inside of the old one and/or replace the belt involved in opening and closing the drive door.

    - Good Luck

    • In the next few steps, you will use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to release the clips along the left and right sides of the bottom vent. Their locations are highlighted in red.

    • You will insert the tool into the holes molded into the white plastic side case pieces.

    • Insert the flat edge of a spudger between the faceplate and the outer casing near the power button.

    • Run your spudger along the edge of the faceplate to release the clips securing it to the front of the console.

    • You may also accomplish this task by using the edge of the Xbox 360 opening tool, but it may scratch the plastic case.

    • Alternatively, you can use your hands to carefully pull the faceplate away from the Xbox.

    The faceplate just pulls off, using a tool is completely unneccessary. https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/xbox-...

    • Stand the console vertically with the top edge facing up.

  12. Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 12, изображение 1 из 2 Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 12, изображение 2 из 2
    • Insert the flat end of a spudger into the small gaps previously mentioned to release the clips.

    • You may also use the long finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to accomplish this task.

    I found it easier to open these clips using the pointy end of the spudger rather than the flat end. Just slide it in against the side of the case and the clip will pop off.

    • Above the front-facing USB ports.

    • Beneath the front-facing USB ports.

    • Press the Xbox 360 opening tool down into the clips securing the lower case to the upper case near the I/O ports.

    • While pressing down on the tool, push the lower and upper cases apart to separate the retaining clips.

    I didn't have an XBox tool, so I followed instructions in this video for this step (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaxIB6cX...) to pry it open with your fingers and a screwdriver.

    The small (metal) women's hair clip is best for un-latching the tabs. The screw drivers just make the holes bigger.

    Denny Ross - Ответить

    You can also use the pointed end of a plastic spudger to push each clip free while you separate the case with your free hand.

    • While pushing the upper and lower cases apart, use the tip of a spudger or the finger of an Xbox 360 opening tool to push the long clip highlighted in red toward the center of the 360.

    • The clip should release, leaving the clips near the power connector as the only thing holding the upper and lower cases together.

  24. Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 24, изображение 1 из 1
    • Press the Xbox 360 opening tool down into the two remaining clips near the power connector.

    • Push the upper and lower cases apart to fully release the retaining clips.

  25. Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 25, изображение 1 из 1

    • Slightly lift the optical drive upwards to gain clearance to disconnect the SATA and power connectors located on the backside of the optical drive.

    • Don't try to completely remove the optical drive just yet. Two cables still connect it to the motherboard.

  31. Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 31, изображение 1 из 2 Xbox 360 Optical Drive Replacement: шаг 31, изображение 2 из 2
    • Grab the power connector by its cables and pull it straight out of its socket on the optical drive.

    • Disconnect the SATA data connector from its socket on the optical drive by pulling it straight away.

    I found the power cable to be very tough to get out, at least it is the first time doing this.

    • Lift the optical drive assembly out of the metal casing.

    Be careful not to lose or break the two teeny metal clips securing the optical drive assembly snugly to the metal casing on either side of the drive's front face. I used a spudger to press in the topmost tines on these clips because they were catching on the drive and bending up. The clips should stay on the metal housing, not come off with the drive.

    • Optical drive remains.

That has nothing to do with this guide. If you have any question regarding this equipment, go to the answer section.

General comment, you make no mention of removing the PCB from the DVD drive if it's being replaced. Any particular reason for that?

" Replacing a defective optical drive with a replacement optical drive does not work. The replacement will have a different DVD drive key, which the game console will not accept."

Not entirely accurate, that statement.

Having fixed a PS3 blu-ray drive by following the excellent guide on here, tried the same technique.

I had a bad drive in my xbox, and I replaced it with a new drive (of the same type). I took the daughter-board from the faulty drive and transplanted it to the good drive. It involved stripping down both drives, disconnecting 2 ribbon cables and unsoldering about 8 wires, transplanting the daughter-board - and resoldering the wires. Then reassembling. It worked for me, anyway.

Sounds like an extremely patience depleting process.

I did this once on one of the newer 360s that are more basic, with help from someone , using scissors.

I am getting the famed red ring of death now...it there any troubleshooting I can do to fix this? I followed all steps and made sure that each wire mirrored the old unit.

Dereck Reeves - Ответить

you actually can swap the drives out pretty easy. you just rip the key off of the old drive and flash it on the new one. you have to make sure you purchase the same drive model and the use jungle flasher. would they allow an extraction and flashing guide on here? and while you are at it, you can mod them pretty easy as well ;)

How come Ifit it does not have intructions for replacing the XBOX360 LASER?

Because, You cannot replace the laser without replacing the drive. It is not possible to replace the laser.

This guide is incomplete thus the pictured console wont work upon drive replacement. Please finish the steps for flashing for they are a very required step in replacing the drive at all.

Wayne Urban - Ответить

Author just ended the repair when there were more steps needed lol. I have done so many of these repairs and it shouldn’t be in the difficult section. If the PCB is ok, just swap it into a different drive deck you know that works. If your PCB is broken , you will need an X360 USB Pro and 3rd part software to extract the key and flash it and original firmware to the new PCB. I should update this tutorial for it is pretty weak.

What kept you from fulfilling your proclamation?

Kai und der Andere -

I realize my 360 is old but I cannot afford to replace it with the one. I replaced the dvd drive and same wont read problem, so I swapped the old board with the new and verified it is the board that is bad, not the drive itself.  Now what do I do? Give up and scrap it? How expensive is the fix to replace the board? Are the parts still available? Im not concerned with the technical difficulty.

Kevin InFlorida - Ответить

This guide sucks. He says you cant swap the disc drives without the logic board or it wont work. Then proceeds to swap the drive but doesnt actually show anything about swapping boards too lol

So people will follow this guide and miss a huge key part, thus ending with a nonworking disc drive lol

Crap guide.

gameskeet - Ответить

It's right there in the header section. It literally says that this guide is ONLY about taking out (and in reverse order putting back in) the optical drive and that, for a new drive to work, it wont work without extra steps. So only very inattentive people will end with a nonworking drive.

But instead of contributing and adding a corresponding guide on how to exchange the logic board in the drive you chose to nag and have a whinge.

Crap comment.

Thank you so much. I was able to fix my Xbox 360

You will have to transfer the daughterboard.

With out googling it I believe there was 3 diff models of DVD drives so make sure u replace it with the same model drive than remove the pcb board from the old one and put it in the new one because there married to the Xbox main board other wise it won't work with the new replacement . MAn I moded ps1s on and remember most of this stuff like it was yesterday. Fun .fun.
