WANTED: XBOX (not 360) dvd drive
« on: May 12, 2008, 11:26:30 am »
hi everyone, my original XBOX that my son uses all the time is giving us the ol' "dirty disk error" so i'm wondering if anyone has a working xbox dvd drive they would be willing to part with. i can always goto gamestop and buy a used xbox for 60$ but i was hoping to find a drive in the 20-30$ range instead.


can anyone help?

thanx in advance

I have bought several used Xbox's that were listed on ebay from the Seattle Goodwill that had good drives, and I was able to buy them for less than $35 shipped. They are listed as "untested" but the ones I have bought from them were in great shape.

have you cleaned the laser eye?

it's fairly simple to do and worth a try.

I've got one in the garage with a busted power supply.  You can have the whole thing if you want it, just pay for shipping.

I've 'fixed' my PS2 the same way...  worth a shot if you haven't done it yet.
