How To Tell If a BenQ or Lite On Drive Is Inside Your Xbox 360 console

If you are thinking about flashing the disc drive inside your Xbox 360 to play back up games, then you will need to make 100% sure which drive type is inside your console. This is so you buy the correct tools and equipment to flash the drive. There are different types of drives because some of them are more easier to flash Ixtreme firmware onto them. If you do have a lite on drive inside your Xbox 360 console, it is better than a BenQ drive because it is much more quite, when loading games.

To identify whether you have a lite on or BenQ drive you have inside your Xbox 360 console, without removing the top cover and not voiding your 1 year warranty, then all you have to do is remove the faceplate. This is easy all you have to do is get a good grip of it and pull it off, but carefully!

Once you have removed the faceplate, you will see a small hole with 2 small wires, below the disc tray bezel. If the two wires are colored white, then that means the drive is a Lite On type. If wires are white colored, you have the BenQ drive.
