Hi guys, I'm a noob so be gentle ;P
I have an Xbox, out of warranty and the Drive is on it's way out (saying discs are dirty etc.)
I have tried the old lens cleaner approach, but to no avail.
A friend of mine has a chipped Xbox (which I'm amused to say has broken on him completely!)
Now, before sending my Xbox off for repair, or buying a new one, can you answer me this - If I was to take his Samsung drive (which I have heard are the best models) and replace my faulty one with his, will it work? There won't be any compatibility errors or anything will there? Just a straight swap I'm hoping for.
It's really just a last-ditch attempt at saving moolah.
Thanks for your help.
