Installing a Custom Modified LG Drive

  This LG Xbox Drive started out as a PC Drive. Now it has a modified firmware & mainboard. Comes with the pigtail already installed for easy installation !

  This is the first drive which doesn't have any media problems. It will read CD /CD-R - RW /DVD+R /DVD-R -RW.  Yes finally a Xbox DVD drive that reads all media including DVD+R...   Note : this drive will not read black Memorex media !

  Other modified DVD drives claim to read all media but they cannot read DVD+R without a special bit setting that is done during the burning process !  Other modified drives cannot be used in consoles without using a modchip.

Here is a recent question submitted to our Tech Dept :

hi,
   what are the pros and cons with the Samsung DVD drive vs. your LG Xbox drive; Samsung DVD drive is thought to be the most reliable; what does your LG Xbox drive have that the Samsung DVD drive does not? please explain in more detail b/w these 2 drives. thanks
  In a nutshell most any PC drive is superior to an Xbox DVD drive. You are right, the Samsung would be our first pick of being the best Xbox drive. They are capable of reading both CD and DVD-R media. But Samsung drive's do not hold up forever. Disk errors can start happening within 1 year and if they make it longer you will notice that the DVD drive starts hanging when ejected. We have seen numerous Samsung drives that require you to slap the top of your Xbox to get them open. (Who wants to do that ?) Bottom line, eject motors become weak even if the laser out lives 1 year.. And this is the case with both A - B types. Also you already know Samsung drives are getting harder to find in near new or new condition.
 
  Our LG drive started out being a PC drive. It has features of that found on current, high end DVD drives.. With a modified firmware and modded mainboard it is the best 100% plug and play drive for the Xbox.  Most people are willing to do a very easy case mod so it will fit properly, so really there is no since in looking for a Sammy... The LG drive after about 10 months of testing shows no signs of disk errors or weakening motors. Some customers find that the DVD+R compatibility is enough in itself to purchase one. You will not find any other drive for the Xbox that will read so many different formats. And for those who run custom apps from CD or DVD media, the LG is better at finding just a small amount of data when the disk is not filled out completely.

Tools needed for drive installation

 

Hacksaw Blade

Cheap nail file

Hot Glue gun (Optional)

Dremel (Optional)

Installing the LG Drive takes only  5-10 minutes.

 First you need to remove the DVD drive stand & then cut off the area in the picture as shown . Hacksaw blade or Dremel works fine.

 Smooth any jagged edges with a file if you have one !

 Now reinstall the DVD drive stand into your Xbox.

You can skip this step completely if you do not care that the drive sits up all the way forward.

 Now cut off the screw mounts, you don’t need them anymore.

 Cut them off completely and level with controller port hold downs !

  If you use a Dremel  or any type of file be sure to blow out any debris that may be left inside before reinstalling the DVD drive !

This area of the lid must be cut off.

 After that we cut off this part of the top case, try to leave a bit of it so that you may use the screw to tighten this side of the case back down.

 Note : Cut off this part at the same level as the metal shielding !

 When reinstalling the case screws, be sure not to over tighten this screw or the hole may strip out !

 

 Now we need to secure the DVD drive from sliding backwards. If you have a hot glue gun , place some in the area indicated.

  Note : Make sure the DVD drive is all the way forward before you use the glue/tape to hold it in place!

 Otherwise you can use the  3M double sided tape provided with your drive.

 Cut a 2 inch piece of tape & bind it into an L shape. Touch half on the back of the DVD drive and the other half on the DVD drive stand.

 

 Now you can reassemble your Xbox.

 You can reattach your DVD drive Brezel with the supplied 3M Tape provided with your DVD drive.

  Place a strip of Double sided tape to the back of your Brezel. Now cut off any overhang with the supplied razor blade.

 With the Xbox turned off and the DVD drive closed pull the backing off the tape. Now take your fingers and place the Brezel in the middle of the opening, being sure not to let it touch the bottom so when the tray opens it does not rub !

 

  You can for any reason switch back to a original Xbox drive after doing this procedure because we left one of the main areas alone that will hold the original drive in place...

 

Drive comes with the pigtail installed for easy installation !

We have them with Ivory or Black DVD Tray sleds. You can choose the color that best suits your Xbox
