Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

The replacement drive for the Xbox 360 was in perfect condition upon arrival. Although my delivery did get rescheduled, I found it to be worth the wait. I installed it and it is working perfectly now. I give 5 stars to the company for an excellent product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement DVD for 360! This was worth it!, August 18, 2008

By	Jacob Mann "Jeli" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, first I would like to say that it took me a while to figure out how to make this thing work.... You have to flash the original drive's firmware to the new drive's firmware. This is because the drive is pretty much married to your xbox... but for any semi tech-savvy user this is an easy task. Google stuff and you'll learn. =P Great product! Saved me over $50

5.0 out of 5 stars Working flawless without ROM flashing, August 5, 2009

By	C. FUNG - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

It's 100% working for me to replace the DVD-ROM of my 360 without flashing.
First of all, I need to tell you the most important thing for my fix is
"the model of the original DVD-ROM is same as the model of the new DVD-ROM I bought, TS-H943"

I guess this is the key that I do NOT need to involve into the process of ROM flashing.

At first, open the 360, then take an old part from the original drive that holds the ROM identity. I followed this video to take the part out
[...]
and replace this part to the new drive.
The last thing you gotta do is just putting the new drive back to the 360.

It took me around 30 mins for the whole process.
For me, the hardest part is "Open the 360"
