What Xbox 360 DVD Drive do I have?

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.

Toshiba-Samsung

If your drive looks like the last one it can either be a Benq or a Lite-On. This means you need to take off the face plate to find out (This does not void warranty). After removing the face plate look at the color of wires in the picture below (You will need a bright flashlight for this).

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. […]
