XBOX 360 Samsung DVD drive.

Is their any way to swap dvd drives? Does it have to be the same manufacturer? I would like to get rid of my dirty disc read error. I've read that Samsung Drives are the culprit. Was curious if their was a way to switch to BenQ.

Or possibly the louder Hitachi drive.

Really, I've read that samsung are notorious for dirty disc error. Hitachi the same?Vamp112

Hitachis are even louder. 

but they are turning into the infamous DDE

I swapped out my samsung for the hitachi no problems so far

Where can you get the Benq drives?Avalos86

gamespot dosent allow people to talk about moding.  xbox-scene.com is the answer to your flashing needs.  it's possible to replace your drives but of course it'll void your warrenty.  it's not that hard you could do it in about 15 minutes (unless your quick taking off the case) if you know some.  good luckbudorz

How hard it to flash a drive, I'm not a beginner, but would rather not screw this up. Know of any sights, that give the step by step. Thanks for the tutorial on opening the box, pretty easy. Nice image tutorial. Thanks again.Vamp112

Where can you get the Benq drives?Avalos86

Your best bet is getting one off ebay right now. But its hard to find them sold seperatly because they are so new. 

how do i know that my disc drive is samsung or benq or whatever...

There is no way of putting a new brand of drive in your 360. You can only replace it with the same model. The drive is tied to the system.

I believe you´re right!

Its not like the old Xbox, where you could swap any original Dvd drive, in case your drive was dead!

check xbox-scene.com, it has all the info you want. 

I know that they are louder, but I can deal will louder, as long as it quit getting the dirty disc error. I take care of everything I buy, so believe me when I say its all clean, even the hardware. Leaves me to believe that the dvd drive is cheap. I've had problems with standalone samsung dvd players before, any thoughts about what my best options would be. Anywhere I can get new hardware drives, circuit boards.Vamp112
