Hi guys, Haven't used this forum in quite some time...so please bare with me. I have a really old 360, and my drive stopped working. It would not read discs. So I am trying to fix it. I would like to swap the drive with the same exact drive.... a few questions...
1) does the new drive come with a card like mine does? Will all I really need to do is just solder the 6 wires on to my card..and then install in the new drive?
2) I see there is a price difference between the same drives offered on ebaY...is that because they are of different firmware? I need the 74850C in order for this to work right?
3) I destroyed the ribbon cable when taking apart this broken drive, do I have to order another ribbon cable..or will the new drive come with one?
4) Is this endeavor worth it..or should I just say TO HELL WITH THIS....and run out and purchase a new xbox. I really do not have the money nor need for that. Has anyone done this switch before...and is it easy. I have soldered before, so I think I can do a simple solder job if that is all that is required.
My xbox is in pieces.... (IMG:
