DVD Drive failure
| DVD Drive failure most
common problem,
this ranges from dirty disk error (DDE) message shown here to inoperability of the drive
door, skipping in movies, slow load time or the call customer service errors
10, 11, and 12 |

Options:
- Replace with PC DVD drive. Downside is you
end up with a console that cannot play standard X-Box games, you need to
install a mod chip to replace the stock bios to make the drive usable and you need
some soldiering skill if you want the button to work on the front of the
console. Upside, faster load time and you can still play DVD's
plus this will have little problems when it comes to reading CDR and
DVDR media (of course only used to install linux).

- Replace with X-box DVD drive. Downside
Microsoft will not sell replacement drives so you must go with a used
one, how much longer will your "new" drive last? Upside,
no modifications are needed for your X-Box. Purchase

- Fix existing DVD drive. Everything
I have to say on this option.
- If your original Xbox DVD drive is dead,
completely, no life at all, this may help you. "There are 2
small fuses on the drive PCB on the opposite side to the BA chips (look
elsewhere to see how to get to em) they are brown rectangles with the
markings "MP200" on them. If either of these is open circuit
(burst) replace it with a 200mA fuse. I think i broke mine whilst
unplugging the yellow wired connector before the xbox had properly
switched off." (taken from message board, untested by Llamma).
