Hello everyone!

My first post.

I think I need a new DVD drive, as mine is really loud. I also get artifacts in PGR3 when the xbox is upright, so I have to leave it on its side all the time

I've tried googling, but cant find anywhere to supply me a new drive?

Many thanks in advance,

Alex.

Are you sure it is the dvd drive and not the fans that are getting louder?

The artifacts and loud noise could possibly explain an overheating issue, not the problem with the dvd drive.

Yeah, he has a good point. Artifacting should not be caused by the DVD drive.

It sounds to me like a heatsink it not properly secured to the mobo maybe? And when it is on its side, gravity pulls it in to place but when upright it does not?
