    Well, the OP did state the drive was dead...if its the board thats dead, swapping it over isnt going to achieve much, but if its the laser or motor thats died, then yes, thats the easiest way to do it.

    As you have a matching drive type, I think all you have to do is flash the key sectors. Personaly Id make sure its up to date with 1.51 and go down the full flashing route in Jungleflasher. Read the firmware on the new drive and replace the target key with your old one before you flash. Reading the firmware first is obviously not required as such, but it will give you an early indication of its stability before flashing.
