I have one of the original xbox 360s and the disk drive dosent work, its not even reading that there is a disk inside at all. it was also sticking so i took it apart and fixed that which seems to be okay now.

i can buy a replacement drive pretty cheap which i was considering doing but have no clue how to transfer the drive key over.

i have also heard that you can just replace the laser or motor and not have to edit the key on the board at all

so my main question is that will it be possible to transfer the motherboard from my broken drive into a new one of the same model that i will buy, without editing the key?

if so will it just be easier to replace the motor/laser and is the whole process difficult at all?

any help will be appreciated

thanks Alfie
