Title: Will this work on a SoftModded Xbox? Post by: wes_less on June 16, 2008, 09:42:52 AM Hi,
I have softmodded my xbox with ndure 1.1. I was wondering if I could add a second DVD drive to my xbox, like in this tutorial ---> http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/swap-dvd.php (http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/swap-dvd.php) In that tutorial they show how to do it on a hardmodded xbox, but they never mention if it works on a softmod. I really need to do this because I am stuck with a Thompson drive. The Thompson drive is SO bad that some of my retail copies of games don't even start! Also if this works, could I use this extremely cheap DVD-ROM drive work with this mod? http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BLK-BDV-316E-DO-N&cpc=SCH Thanks! ;D Title: Re: Will this work on a SoftModded Xbox?

It doesn't matter if you have a softmodded or hardmodded or virgin box it will work, but let me check for the right tutorial (and you cant use just any dvd drive)
i couldnt find where it was after a quick search but my suggestion to you is Get a lens (http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&dfsp=32&catref=C6&from=R40&satitle=dvd+drive+lens+xbox+thomson+-360&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&fts=2&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=29334&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=32%26fsoo%3D2) And follow this guide (http://www.consolezombie.com/XBOX/XBOX_Thomson_Laser_Replacement.html) about a 15 dollar replacement, and guaranteed to work completely (but first try cleaning the lens on your dvd drive ;)) Title: Re: Will this work on a SoftModded Xbox?

Thanks for repling. yesterday I tried to clean the lens with a glass cleaner and it didn't really do anything. I guess I will have to replace the lens. Thanks again!

if you can try getting a Samsung Title: Re: Will this work on a SoftModded Xbox? Post by: GamezR2EZ on June 16, 2008, 01:08:33 PM thats more expensive, i think he was looking for the cheap way out zzk
