  • Anonymous Feb 17, 2012

    Hi dropndeal, I'm having the same xbox360 disk drive problems. Do you know where I can find the steps to swap the card from the old drive to the new? Or reflash it? Which is easier?
    Thanks!

    First step is to ensure you have the exact same optical drive. If yours originally contained the Benq X800474-006, then you are good with step 1.
    The replacement must be identical. In other words, if originally a Hitachi or Samsung, then the replacement must be Hitachi or Samsung.

    Now you must open the previous as well as your brand new unit (yes, this voids the warranty). The Card from the old unit must be removed and placed in your new optical drive. Take your time and be very careful. Soon you will be back up and running.

    A very good tutorial is here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wajuuo_C...

The xbox 360 optical drive is "married" to the motherboard via a key code. The optical drive is not plug and play. The only way to accomplish this is to swap the card from the old drive into the new, or extract the keycode from the old and reflash to the new.

I've got an older style XBOX 360 that quit playing game & movie discs.
The diode in the lens has gotten too weak to put out enough voltage to read the game discs. I'm assuming that you have the original drive board still in your system.
you can find another lens on eBay really cheap, here is 3 links because the x box 360 consoles use 2 different lenses. On one of them the connecter for the worm gear mounts on the top, the other mounts from the bottom of the laser

Your Xbox 360 lens are most likely dirty. And your 360 probably has something like dust stopping it from scanning your games. I suggest blowing into your DVD drive carefully and gently. If it still doesn't work I recommend sending your Xbox 360 back to Microsoft for a new one if your under warranty. If you don't have a warranty you could clean you lens by your self. But opening your 360 to clean the lens could make it worse so do it at your own risk.

Benq drive on xbox 360 has open tray error
Yes first check the hub motor if it's stiff you will
need a new drive . This is kinda rare . 80% of
the time it's the laser . Go to Rich PSX buy
a laser for a benq drive ,thay cost 20.00 or so
when you get the laser remove the anti static solder
dot with a soldering iron and find a tutorial on how
to install , It's not that hard.

If you need more info ask

Benq dvd drives
Ok the problem is all xbox 360 motherboards come with preset keys like a password everyone is different. your origanal benq vad 6038 dvd drive also has the key programed into its sst chip on the pcb (Printed Circut Board) which allows it to work with that motherboard (another way of explaning this is it works the same way as a wireless network anyone can connect to it but you must input the correct password to be able to connect and use the internet)

There is a solution you need to extract the dvd key out of your old dvd drive and inject it into your new one. To do this you will need a few tools

Bought new dvd drive benq 6038
LOL well 9 months later, I'll answer your question. EVERY Xbox360 dvd drive is "married"to it's motherboard. The communication between the drive and motherboard is encrypted with a key (aka- DVD-key) IF you don't flash the dvd-key from the original drive to the replacement then there is no way the Xbox will ever be able to play anythngg other than music and dvds. You NEED the correct key to encrypt/decrypt the 360 games so the motherboard can understand it.
