Use this guide to replace a faulty optical drive in an Xbox Series X.

Before you begin, completely power down and unplug all cables from your console. Remember to follow general electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety procedures while repairing the console.

The board inside the optical drive is software-linked 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.

Where can I get a replacement disk drive for my Series X? Figures the warranty just ran out last month and now the disk drive wants to start acting stupid. Doing the same exact thing my One X did where it'll read some discs no problem but won't read others. Just got Guardians of the Galaxy brand new, first time ever taking it out of it's case and inserted directly into the console and it won't read.

After zooming into the drive cover, we find the model number is DG-6M5S-03B Which can then be googled, to find that its the exact same replacement drive from previous xbox models. The only difference being the drives motherboard, which you will be swapping to your current one anyway.

I bought a replacement drive for my One X and never installed it, but am now having issues with my Series X drive. The spare I have is P/N DG-6M5S-02B. Is this a compatible replacement?
