Title
Xbox Series X Optical Drive Replacement
Introduction
Before beginning, completely '''power down and unplug all cables''' from your console. Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while repairing the console.
Use this guide to replace a faulty optical drive in an Xbox Series X.
The board inside the optical drive is married to the console’s motherboard. This board will need to be transferred into the replacement optical drive to restore full functionality. '''This will require you to de-solder and solder two wires.''' Follow general soldering safety guidelines such as wearing eye protection, working in a well-ventilated area, and washing your hands after with soap and water after soldering.
