How do I know which lens

[primegamer]

Have a 360 system that won't read discs. It needs a new laser/lens.
How do I know which model lens is the right one to get?
On the PS3, it's as simple as looking at the PS3 model number. What is the easiest way of verifying which laser is needed?

If it's a Phat you can use this.

just for reference here,phat samsung and hitachi take same laser,and phat benq and liteon take same laser,and slim hitachi and liteon take same laser.so out of all the drives you can get by only keeping 3 model lasers on hand

I see two yellow wires in the hole.
So, this would be the proper laser?

also are any xbox specific tools needed to do these replacements? I know stuff like xclamp removal tools are needed for access to the motherboard


heres a photo of the system that needs the laser
