I have an XBOX 360 elite with a BenQ VAD6038 drive that is not working properly because the disc tray is bent a little bit and the disc is probably not centered properly when it's trying to be read by the laser. I would like to know what my options are and if there is a need to replace the whole drive and would it need flashing even if I replace it with a same model. Would the bent tray have to do with the disc reading problem? Feel free to share any options available to me.
