Quick Qwestion

yes, the green pcb board contains a key(refered to as the DVD key around here  smile.gif ) in its flash that locks it to the original console, however the physical tray, case and other parts are not.

So you can switch out the pcbs with other disc drives of the same type if you happen to break your original drive and your PCB is still in tact. E.g:

Liteon pcbs only works with Liteon drives

Hitachi pcbs drives only work with Hitachi drives

Hope this helps

If you have a JTAG then you can change the key on the motherboard side to match the new DVD drive's key.
