E321xbox

Thanks for the advice, that does sound much easier and I'll look into thoes others aswell. I turned the Xbox on and it flashes red and green, the Xbox will turn on and will load to the home screen but when I insert a disk and it starts to load a message pops up saying it can't read the disc and make sure it's a Xbox disc im using. I've looked into it and from what I've seen if I replace the disc reader it should work again? Although I have now bought another one it would be good to be able to fix the other and maybe use that one for my first attempt at modding

*Thanks in advance

Hi all, I have recently bought another ogxbox after tryingto use my old one and it no longer working. I've seen alot of post about modding xbox's but don't really understand the benefits. Can anyone give me some of the advantages to modding? Or explain the benefits?. Thanks on advance
