The Xbox 360 has whats called a "DVD key" paired to each motherboard and DVD drive combo. Is there any way to fix this freakin' Xbox!?
There must be a way to replace a broken DVD-drive, right (how do the XBox repair shops do it)? I don't want to pirate games, I just want to have a working DVD-drive. I suspect the drive it came with is not the original, or the original key was previously overwritten during a botching attempt to hack the drive. I followed all the steps, got the key, uploaded it to the new drive, but it still doesn't work.

They say there is no way to get the key from the motherboard (without ridiculous hardware hacks), but you can get it from the original DVD-drive, by hooking it up to a computer and using software which is also used by pirates.
I have reason to suspect this is not the original drive (see below), and there is no place which can tell me what model DVD-drive my model XBox should have come with. Some places say you need to have the exact same manufacturer and model DVD drive, and it should work.Some places say you can just take any old drive from another XBox 360, but that didn't work - I still get the same error.Information on the 'net about replacing the DVD-drive is confusing and conflicting: The Internet tells me this could happen if the DVD-drive motor is dying, but also if the DVD-drive firmware was previously hacked incorrectly. When I hit A, it gives me a white error screen (pics to come). When I try to play any game, it says "Play DVD" on the launchboard. I bought a used XBox 360 drive with a broken DVD-drive.
