I bought my xbox 360 in London about 2 years ago. The cd drive couldn't open and I found a fix on the internet saying to use a paper clip and manually open it. I did that, put the disc in, but now it doesn't read it. It's a completely legit console, if you know any trustworthy shops to get it repaired from please post below. I"m afraid if I take it to a random shop they'll replace it with a fake console.

I thought I read on the xbox forums that it could only be sent the country it was bought in. (too lazy to send back to the UK ;p) I will have had it for 2 years as of june/july, has my warranty expired?

taking it to a 3rd party for repair would void your warranty, i'd suggest taking a trip down to singapore and exchange it at the service hub there in funan plaza. they won't be too particular as to where you bought the console from. a few of us have done that with no problems, they even give you a 1 month live subscription card for your trouble. you gotta call the center there first though in order to get a reference number which is what u present when you handle the exchange. if you've got a friend in singapore, that'd really help you out a lot.

I can help you replace your drive IF you can find a replacement drive.
Regardless of what drive you are using, i can replace it with ANY kind of drive.
So the drive brand is pretty useless, just get any ordinary working Xbox360 drive smile.gif
