What is the name of the tool used to measure the potentiometer ?

This doesn't work on Ubuntu 24.04

I was so bummed cause I thought I was gonna have to do this but just opened the disc tryna with the button wiped the lens with a QTip and she is working ❤ playing lotr now lets go

And when that doesn't work 😢

Question, do you offer service for fixing disk drives?

Will this work on a 360?

Sorry, I’m dumb. If the goal was to increase the “juice” to the laser, and a lower number is less resistance, i.e. higher “flow”, how did tuning it from a reading of .002 to .003 help the issue? Didn’t you effectively crank it down?

Now do the Dreamcast laser potentiometer fix vid plz!!! No one does it with a voltmeter that I've seen.

Great video thank you! Do you have any videos on how to make a Duke controller to work again? Also, how do like to plug in that Xbox into that monitor? Thanks!

what setting was your voltmeter set at?

Thanks! I spent way to much time going through all the config menus, and never found the right one until now

Quick question when i put my disc in nothing happens at all , like it doesn't show that error message or anything so im wondering if i should even do all this!

I know this video has been up for several yeas, but I have a question, if you still monitor the comments. I have an OG xbox, and on boot, the box sits at the xbox logo for several minuets, then gives a error 16. (HDD timeout I think). Anyway, when I put in another dvd, unit it will boot. Bad DVD I guess, but I am not sure what is wrong with it. Have you ever seen this before?

I assume you need enough space on your PC to take all the switch data? For example I have A 1TB card so I would need 1TB of space on my PC to copy the data to? So since I don't have a PC with 1TB hard rive or SSD I can't do it?

Which Laser Reader Did You order? Specifically

thank you!

My son and I tried this and it worked! This is amazing. Thanks.

Great job bud thanks for the hack!

can i have the link or name of where you got the read head?

I know this video is old but can you still get this laser I've looked with zero luck I can 360 and xbox one lasers not OG xbox

Watching that halo 2 load up was satisfying. Good times

where can I get that part????

My dad made me a save file a month before I was born in the clone wars game and I’ve been wanting to play it. Super exited. Thank you!

Can I do it in Emulationstation DE on Steam Deck?

I picked up an xbox that has some reading problems too, but it's a different brand and looks a little different. It's a Philips drive.

Worked like a charm. I am using this method to have an Alexa controlled plug to automatically turn on my arcade cabinet! Also doing this with a laptop which I changed the bios to startup with power cord (pulled the battery).

What are you looking at?

Bullshit Video 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Hey....Thank you I didn't go full shebang like you, I cleaned the laser with IPA and Q tip. The game loaded enough for me to load the softmod. Thank you for you time!

thank you so much man

I got an og v1 xbox free and I only have one game didn’t read it so I tried music cd 💿 and that work and download into console hopefully when I buy more games those will work right

I have an original that reads every game besides ncaa football 06 fine. It pops up and says that the disc may be dirty or damaged. The disc is fine and works yet won’t play on the console. Any fixes with having to fix the laser?

My Xbox doesn't read platinum hit disks

Nice details on whats causing the disk read error. Thanks!

thanks for the help.

my xbox reads some games but not others

My all my original xbox games work except for one that wont read. Is it a sign that the disc reader is going bad or just the game?

thanks for this my guy helped me to fix my first ever consol

6:52 If you're going to take the drive out anyway (which you're suposed to) don't do what this guy did, do NOT bend the metal shield...Because, why?... Don't take shortcuts, do it right or don't at all...

5 reasons to watch this video in 2022

Our original Xbox is reading all games as an audio CD, any suggestions

Cuál es el programa de Visual pinball que usa para hacer este proyecto?? Que versión es y cuál es el programa?? Gracias

I must say I am extremely pissed. This just happened with a console I recently bought and it's happened with literally EVERY model I've owned. The original Xbox is one of the worst systems I've ever dealt with. Great library of games, but an awful console. My old ps2 slim (which I bought when it was already used) has outlasted all of them.

I'm getting this same reading but only when I put in EA sports games other games seem to work fine. 🤔 Anybody know why that is??

You saved my ebay Xbox business! Thank you :)

pain in the ass, better to buy a new one for 40 or 50 bucks than go thru all that

Boom! It worked! Hardest part was figuring out my ubuntu password. Ended up having to find another tutorial on how to reset it lol

As a Lion King fan...that has to be the greatest shirt I've ever seen😅 great video as well haha,I get carried away🍻🍺

I wonder who’s idea was it to make the disc reader like this

The pot wont turn for me :(
