i changed out my dvd drive in my xbox and put a different dvd drive in because my orginal dvd drive wasnt working it was freezing and would play any games i changed the laser but i still have the same problem. so how to i mate a diff dvd drive so my xbox will recognize it

kel, you will need some software and a computer and a lot of instructions on what to do. Check on here for some very good instructions and links.

You need the board off you old one and stick it in the new one. That haves the chip that mates it to the motherboard.

yu don’t need to do this…just find 2 screws near the ribon cable wear the laser is located. screw right (few times) try game repeat until it works
