How much would my elite be worth? it needs a new dvd drive, other than not reading any games it works fine. Also is there anywhere to trade it faulty consoles?
As long as you didn't mank the seal should be alright. I've sent off 2 that I opened and both times sent back a refurb. Both were DVD drives going but said they were red ring.
May 08 should be fine as I think they still do 3 years for red ring
I would say there is a risk of getting banned if you do replace the drive yourself. In the ban wave nobody found a definitive reason why they got banned and a different dvd drive could be a problem. I wouldn't risk it, just send it off at least then you've got protection if something goes wrong in the future
Ive read that u can pull the old firmware off the old drive and flash it onto the new drive, which makes the xbox think it is the original drive, anyone know any more about this?
Its a benq VAD6038 drive. Went out today and bought a new 360, got a good deal from argos, Arcade console, Forza3, In the movies with the camera, and Scene it with all the controllers for 129.99. I thought this was a blinding deal as all three games are like 30 quid each.
Still gonna repair the elite. If i only use it on live for Sky player would they still ban the account?
