Just what the title says, if you have a broken Xbox, contact me if you know what DVD drive is in it. I want an unmodded Samsung DVD drive.
Long story but MS put some crappy DVD drives in alot of the Xboxes to try not to lose too much money. It's almost cheaper to buy a new Xbox than to get them repaired. I bought a new used one with the Samsung drive (Best drive they've used and it is fast and reads everything) and I need a second one to put into my broken Xbox so I can use it in my car.
If your Power Supply is burnt out and you don't know what drive you have, just locate the DVD Emergency Release button, it's a little hole to the left of the eject button.
Push a straightened paperclip in there and it should eject. If your tray looks like this...

(Note all the extra holes in the tray)
Then you have a Samsung drive.
Email me if you have this and are willing to sell.
Thanks for ya'lls time.

Yeah, some, but the problem is the ones on ebay are either PC drives that you have to Modify (Hell no!) or ones pulled out of a brand new Xbox that someone wants almost as much as a new or USED Xbox.
If I can't get one in the next week, I'm going to go to the local pawn shop, find one, buy it for $130 and sell the parts I don't need.
Thanks though brotha.

I appreciate your help man. You always help me out.
5 stars.
Yeah, I've got that in my watch list, but it's got 3 days left, I guarantee it goes for over $100.
