Hey guys!
As some might know, my Xbox is dead, it boots to error 5, and ive done a hotswap, but no hoswap is good unless you have your eeprom backed up.
I'm soon buying an Xbox with a faulty dvd drive from eBay, so I will just swap it for my good DVD drive. If i do so, will there be any errors showing up? Because it will just be another dvd drive, and i think mine is samsung, and the one freom the Xbox i will buy wont read the discs, I will just swap it for mine, is that going to make any sence to the motherboard? Any errors? Because I dont want to take the risk of spending 60 dollars on a faulty DVD xbox that will show errors if i change the DVD drive. I might as well stay without an Xbox rather than risk.
And finally, here comes the big question, what can i sell out of my Xbox and rip somebody off on eBay or somewhere else? I can't sell the DVD drive because I will be using it for the Xbox I will buy. And how much can I charge the people for the stuff i sell? How much will I gain? Do I sell the items as Buy It Now, or Highest Bid? Please somebody tell me, because I spent $200 on this Xbox, and i want to gain at least $150 out of it.
Thank you in advance guys,

I dont wanna sodler it, because I might eff it up. Besides, I will sell the parts of this one and cover for the one I will buy that does not read discs. Also, Ill have to buy a solderless adapter additionally if I buyu a chip, so ya, I'd rather go witha broken Xbox.
Do you guys think that If i change the DVD drive on an Xbox with a faulty DVD drive if it will show any errors? Or I just turn it on and voila, boots fine? _________________

there will be no errors, the dvd drive will work fine. but its really simple to fix the dirty disc error anyway. so I wouldnt get rid of your other dvd drive.

Well sure thats a point but....the chip has saved me so much that I wouldn't even mess with a softmod, hotswapping...good god man...lol. You could have everything done buy a chipper for 40 bucks thats cheaper then a xbox buy hey.... it is a easy fix too so you will have two boxs now _________________ The mighty V6 Passat came to chew bubble gum and kick%^* and shes all out of bubble gum!

Yep, I will have 2 Xboxses, I payed for the one on eBay.
All in all, it cost me $66, so yeah, its a sweet deal considering the other faulty ones that sell for much more.
I want to thatnk you BOSWARTIG for the post telling me it will not show any errors or problems if the motherboard senses a change of a DVD drive. I will also soon buy another DVD drive, or perhaps fix the one that comes with the new Xbox I bought, and I will be buying a chip. I will soon advance my knowledge to a soldering level, and I will solder a mod chip, as soon as I have enough money for it.
To some people, the imagine me as some mature guy considering the way I type. I try to make it as easy to read as possible and I choose the most formal words I can think of, and yet, I'm only 14.
Lol Mol Shmol,
Thank you guys, the HQ members DID IT AGAIN! _________________

You can sell anything you want...
Sell the controller ports, sell the motherboard, sell the fan, sell the case..sell the eject/power board.
Or, you can just sell the machine as a broken Xbox.
Choice is yours. _________________ Xbox 1.4
