This thread has been linked to the game 'Sega GT 2002'.
Just as I decide to keep the stupid overrated piece of black plastic for Live, it begins to pack up even more!
I was trying to play Sega Gt2002 (there is a time for everything, and I hate to admit it, but I do rather like it), and it went 'brrrrrrr..click, brrrr...click, whir, whir, schnurgen..' etc
My drive is beginning to sound distinclty miffed/unwell about something, and no it doesn't have those two little holes everyone asks, but to which I have not a clue what they're on about.
RAR!
Help.

No, Samsung ones are the ones with the two holes.

Anyway, I think even though you don't have a warranty now that you should still ring up customer services for advice. They have been known to take pity and repair them anyway. At the very least they could give you some sort of idea of the price.
You can buy replacement drives, one on ebay at the moment, buy it now for £40. Or you could win an auction perhaps for less.
As for replacing them, I think it is as simple as opening it all up and replacing the drives. They are to all intents and purposes PC components and use IDE cables as normal.

If your drive has the two holes it is, I think, a Thompson DVD drive which is considered the most unreliable of the lot. You can also get Samsung and Philips drives - I think Samsung ones are in theory the best, though my Xbox had a Philips ones and was never a problem.
I also think that the Samsung one has some kind of benefit for pirates/mods ?

I thought this was going to be a pirate thread.
You've disappointed me, Cyclone.
