I got an incredible deal on someone's oldxbox and it was having drive eject issues. I took it apart thinking it was a belt issue. I removed to foreign objects that were stuck in the drive: an xbox game and a one and a half inch wood screw. After I removed the objects I powered the xbox up again and the disc tray wasn't even attempting to move, still stuck in place.

Does anyone know (don't say ebay) where I could get a replacement drive or if there is, in fact, a way to fix the existing drive?

Well since you don't wnt ebay, I don't know, but just get an old not-working XBox for spare parts (although you didn't want ebay, it has many there).

Let me clarify, I just don't want people saying ebay because I already know it as a resourse and I don't want 15 posts that just say "ebay"

Other than the resource you don't wish mentioned, I would just say look at other online places you no doubt are aware of, like amazon.

Honestly the most reliable places to buy old console parts cannot be discussed here.
