Hey all,
My xbox 360 wont play games!! I got it from my brother who said it was working but he stop using it.
The xbox it self is old and pretty sure its out of warranty. What I dont understand in all the forums I've read is..

If I replace the Cd rom from E-bay It wouldnt play the games either because it has some kind of key that only the original will work.

What I did read was that the easiest way to solve this issue would be to replace the chip from the old cd rom to the new cd (purchased off ebay). Has any one done this successfully?

Also the other way that it said on the actual description of the item on ebay is to flash my xbox... Is this recommended? is it safe to do this? how do I do this? has any one done this?

hopefully some one has had this issue and could help me fix my issue with out any help from Microsoft since it is out of warranty.
