Why would you want to find out what model you have? Well if you wanted to flash your xbox you need to know. The good news is you can find out the model of your xbox 360 dvd drive without voiding your warranty. There are three different models. First you need to look at the tray.
Sudoku is one of my favorite games and I really enjoyed writing a sudoku solver. This sudoku procedural program was written in the language c++. The sudoku program allows you to input a board via a text file and allows you to save your progress. If you get stuck, the program can finish the board. I also spent the time to implement a colored board into the program. If you don’t understand the rules of sudoku or how to play sudoku then you can go here.
A big disadvantage to the xBox 360, especially the early consoles, is they scratch your games. In order to allow your xBox 360 to play your backed/burned games you need to flash your DVD drive. This will ‘trick’ the xBox 360 into thinking you have inserted a valid game. Otherwise the xBox will not read the games. If modded properly, you be able to play your original backed up games on Xbox Live.
This is not an easy process. The process is not the same for every console. It depends on the model type and version of the drive. Since there are many different types of models and versions, it can be very complicated. Even though you know how to open your xbox 360 and connect it to your pc does not mean it is even possible for you to mod it. Most motherboards will not be able to flash it. If you aren’t careful you may end up ‘bricking’ your drive which then will turn your xbox into an expensive paperweight. You can tell what model of drive you have without opening your xBox.
