    Xbos 360 DVD Drive replacement

    I took apart my xbox today and am planning on just replacing the DVD Drive inside of it.

    But now I'm reading that the drive needs the "firmware to be flashed" before it will play games. What the heck does that mean? Can you not just plug the two little cords back in and go?

    I'm at work right now, so can't help much. But "flashing" is just updating it. So you're probably going to have to hook it up to a computer first to update it to the latest firmware.

    It says to sim the first FA period please

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    How do you hook it up to a computer?

    That's what I thought too. I thought you'd just plug in those two cords and it would work, but I keep reading this flash thing.

    And did I set a deadline? I wasn't planning on doing the sim until tonight because I'm still getting offers.

    Lol no you didn't. I just checked..

    I think my brother replaced the DVD drive on his and ill see if I can get some directions for it. I've only taken apart computers, so not entirely sure if the process would be the same
