    Yes, but it's a bit tricky. You have to do a little soldering to get your eject, tray open, tray closed, etc. working properly.

    Kind of a hassle, but there is an up side. If you can get it working, it will read all your writable/re-writable media.

    The down side...you will ONLY be able to play burned media unless you use a Samsung 616T PC DVD ROM drive that is capable of reading XBOX original discs.

    Do a search on Google for "xbox dvd-rom replacement samsung".

    You should find everything you need to swap the drives.
