    Default Can x360 DVD drives be swapped ?

    Can someone please tell me IF a flashed dvd drive from 1 x360 can be pulled & put into another x360 & "work" without needing other work ??


    ie flashed X360 drive in a RROD box..
    pull it & replace a borked dvd drive in a working console
    then boot & be able to use it

    OR will the drive still be locked to original console even thoug it was flashed etc

    thanks

    The keys needs to changed as they are individual to each xbox360 drive and linked to motherboard.

    And if its a stock (non jtag/rgh ) console then it has to be the same model drive or it will be banned from XBL- spoofing is no longer an option.

    Not only just spoofing it won't boot without the correct brand

    Will only work if its the drive mech or laser thats the problem and not the board , swapping an already flashed drive or pcb wont work.
