Replace Xbox 360 Laser

December 30th, 2011 | Posted by tonyscha in Technology - (0 Comments)

I did this modification a few months ago, but thought I would write a post about it. My xbox laser stopped working, and you have a few options when this happens

A) Buy a new xbox
B) Return the unit to get fixed by Microsoft
C) Fix it!

I choose option C.

I looked online and found lots of help, found out there is several different models of cd-roms in xboxs. The cd-rom I ordered off amazon was actually the wrong cd-rom, but had the same laser. So I had to remove just the physical laser assembly and replace it. I wont actually provide any instruction on how to replace the lasers, there are many websites out on the web that explain that better then I can, I just wanted to share a picture of the drive assembly and my experience.

Wow where does the time go? Its been a while since I wrote something, so I thought I would posted since I got the week off from school. Its a couple of days before Thanksgiving, been really really really busy with School, its consuming 100% of my time, on top of family and work. Only about a month left, then it will be winter break, Time to party!!! Kayla and I got new phones, we finally retired the Blackberry’s and moved onto Android Phones, we got the Epic and EVO. I posted a few pictures from Halloween and our trip to Milwaukee, WI. We had some baseball game tickets, so we toured everything we had time for, we are power vacationers! It was tons of fun!
