New 360 arcade extreme DVD swap ?

[deanofire1967]

Hi there
i need a little newbie help please ?
i have a 3rrod 360 premium that is extreme modded that i have tried to have repaired but still dead (even after paying £30)
my question is can i buy a new arcade (now that they are £130) and just put my old dvd drive in it or is it not that simple ?

thanks
Deano

how about READING?
of course it's not that simple. in fact, due to liteon, it got a lot harder now.
read up on what to do with the liteon.

sorry about the "reading" its just that a reputable online modding company told me they replace the lite - on unit.

instead so i just wanted to know if i could use my old dvd drive ?

[Arakon]

yes, if you get the key from the liteon and reflash the old drive.

so is this "reading from the lite-on drive hard then ?
total neeeewbie
thanks

yes and no...you have to have the appropriate tools, your going to need to open up the drive...solder 2 points and some wires to 2 points...then hook up your RS232 or 3232 to those wires and then connect that to your pc...and then you can dump it (it's probably cheaper to just get someone to dump the key for you).  You get me ?...read and then re read
