More on the Hitachi/LG/Panasonic slim

More on Hitachi-LG DL10N Slim Drive: 360 MFR date, Tray Compare, ...
>> We got some more details about the new Hitachi-LG DL10N DVD drive found in recent Xbox360 Slim consoles.

Heezer reported on our forums he also got a Hitachi-LG DL10N drive in his Xbox360 Kinect 4GB Bundle he bought in Germany. He posted some much requested information about the MFR date and factory details of the Xbox360 console:

Quote:

MFR date: 2010-10-09 [that's October 9th 2010]
Xbox 360 S console, M$ corporation, Model 1439, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA
serial number: 46XXXXXX 04105

This means:
production year: 0 (2010)
week: 41
factory code: 05



Of course at this moment we don't have enough data to know if 2010-10-09 is the first Manufacture Date with these drives, neither to know exactly in which factories or production lines these new drives are used. But if you have a 360 made on or after 2010-10-09 in factory 05, line 4 chances are you have a DL10N.

I also updated our Xbox360 DVD drive brand/model detection guide to include the DL10N. As many of you probably already noticed the Hitachi-LG DL10N has a different DVD-tray from any other Xbox360 DVD drive, so it's easy to find out if you have one without opening your 360 case. I added a picture of the tray posted by Soloyo next to the 3 other types of trays so you can easily compare them.

Soloyo also posted a few new pictures of the DL10N internals which you can see here, here and here.
