Some people here really resent noobs who cry for help with their first post after signing up the same day and give up after a few minutes of searching. Flashing a drive is much harder than finding a tutorial, and if you cant do that ..........need I say more. Please take this post for what it is intended, not to flame or ridicule, but to give you a little kick in the ass and tell you there is no free lunch, without reading and understanding no amount of hand holding will get you through this unless you understand what it is you are doing.
If you cannot manage to understand the tutorial you can search around and there are a few people you could send your xbox to along with the original DVD unit and the replacement DVD that would be able to flash it for you at a reasonable price. People here are willing to help but you must put forth a little effort in order to get a return.

In the time between your first post and your last you could have probably found all the guides neede dto do what you want to do and also learned why and what you are doinng rather than trying to get someone else to just spoonfeed you step by step instructions for your particular issue.
People don't mind helping out, but it's annoying when someone asks you to do the thinking for them...

So, you joined yesterday... I guess you haven't been reading the boards much.
Everything you need to know its in the boards. There's a lot of tutorials for what you need. You SHOULD read them then ASK questions about the points you have doubts or don't Undestand.
Even if we (users) help you here - besides redundant information - many things may be kept unexplained an you WILL MESS UP (even more) your Xbox!
My advice: Read the boards, find the tutorials, find the tools, etc... THEN ask questions.
You'll need tutorial (and tools) to read you actual drive (need the KEY) and spoof it to the new drive firmware.
Since the original drive maybe OK you can also try to clean (drive and) the LASER with q-tips and alcohol. The POT calibration is next (if still not working) and also the rubber band mod. You can use search to find tutorials about this around here or: www.justfuckinggoogleit.com
You're not on your own but help yourself by help us help you
I've got an death x360 (3RoD) and before actually doing something to the box I've spent about two weeks reading boards and tutorials to get to the point I know which solution is the best solution (for my case). Now its running fine
but still have to do some preventive mods to keep 3RoD coming back. While your box is open its advisable to do some mods to keep the temperature down (but that decision is up to you...)Good Luck!

Basically he got handed a fish... God forbid that sometime in the future he will need another because it's pretty obvious this is the kind of guy who doesn't want to bother learning how to fish...
