Hey,

My CD Drive was busted and i went on ebay recently and bought "New XBOX 360 HITACHI-LG DVD DRIVE ROM VER. 59DJ".

I got this delivered within a week from hong kong, great mileage. the instructions on the ebay page () said that the console requires a key from your board for the drive to work, you will need to flash the drive with this key. Anyone know how i do this?

As far as I know you will need to get the key from your old drive...but that's going to be a bit difficult if it doesn't work...I guess if you still have the old drive you could see if you are able to extract the key.

I'm not going to walk you through the whole process, use google.
