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?

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
