Question How To Identify The Different DVD- Drive

Cash this thread is right up your ally. After dealing with the problems with XBOX and the trouble I was having, I decided to find out the best way to tell what kind of DVD Drive in your XBOX. I went to a place called Starland where they can modify your XB and make it look cool and everything but my main ? to them was how to you tell the difference on which DVD Drive you had. Surprisingly enough the Samsung was the easiest because of the 2 holes on each side provided by Cash. But then the I asked the ? how can you tell if you have a Phillips or the Thompson. Here where you come in Cash. The answer he gave me was probably the most confusing answer I have heard. He told me and Cash I will beleive you more than him since your knowledge of the system. The way to tell the Phillips from the Thompson was where the bracket was placed. If you have the Phillips the brackets that hold the Drive in place is farther back while the Thompsin Drive sits futher up basically it's where the bracket screws at and where it is lined. So thats what he told me. But Cash is that the only way because both Drives are identical except for where the backet is screwed in. I told him that I had a friend that could tell by just looking. So Cash do you actually have take apart the Box to find out where the bracket is screwed in or is their anoher way because the guy I talked to said because they were identical exceot for the bracket. So is that true or is feeding me a bunch of it. Let me know so I can tell him the easy way.

I know Cash. Thats why I asked the ? because you would know better than anybody else why would IU ask is because you have never steered me wrong. But apparently what he said was the way to tell a Thompson from a Phillips was where the bracket was screwed in. He if it's up front it's the Thompson and if it's back farther it's the Phillips. He said because the trays were almost identical and that was the best way to tell. I would have never wrote this if I did not beleive you but convincing this guy is like tryinmg to talk to a cement building he will not listen. I told that you desihned the Madden Board and was pretty much an expert on how to tell. But he still that the trays look to much alike and thats why you had to open it to tell. If you were to talk to him he would not beleivbe you just because he modifies XBOXs does not mean he can tyell the difference. After 15 minutes I just said thanks and came and wrote the thread to get your opinion. So now I will ask you or send a picture if you have one of the Thompson Drive and Phillips so I can prove to him tyhat you know what your talking about. Trust me Cash, like I said you have never steered me wrong so what ever you I beleive but to convince somebody who modifies the Box does not men he knows or does he. Let me know.

Ok I don't want another question about what drives look like after this...

another one here

If the moron cannot tell the difference between a keyhole shaped drive that the hole gets bigger on and a drive that is a straight lin ending in a arch then he is a moron (hmm guess that makes sense lol)

gardener basically what cash has previously told you about all the drives is true. the guy at the store was reffereing to when the lid of your box is off i think....but basically the shape of the holes determines the drive...

wow you must have done that whilst i was typing...but there you go evidence

o yeah btw llamma.com is a great sight
