Tips And Tricks On Simple Ways To Fix Various Problems With Your Xbox 360 Disk Drive - Zábava
You sir are a true gentleman, and a life saver. Without your video I never would have been able to fix my Xbox. You have earned yourself a subscriber.
Ok so after 30 min of trying to fix my Xbox without opening it I just put my mouth on it and blew
It was the kiss of life
You are an absolute hero...xbox has been broken for ages and I tried all the shitty easier methods on youtube (tapping on the top as it goes in :L) without success, but I used your video and it works first time. Anyone reading this looking for reviews and feedback, do it! Easy to understand and flawless results x
This helped me. I took apart my 360 and cleaned off all the dust and used a q tip to clean the laser and it worked. Had the open tray error for two years. Liking & subscribing thank you.
Awesome happy to hear this is still helping people. Thank you for the sub.
Thank u so much sweetie!!! My nephews keep mucking up my 360 and the last time looked like it was a lost call, but ur strategy worked just fine!!!!! Thank u so much
Nice I did exactly what you said an my 360 works just fine now you sir have earned yourself a subscriber
omg! thank you thank you!! i can now play dishonored and fallout NV because of this guide! you have my like and sub
Thanks man. Tweaking right laser lens screw worked for me, i also swabbed lens, but all games work now.Great vid!
@darksariman
sweet!! :D glad to hear
Thanks alot for making this video my disc tray actually reads games, now i can actually play dark souls 2
Thanks man, this really actually helped.. Couldn't put it back together properly but I don't care.. It works now :D
@MrDragonclaus
glad to hear :D
No Problem Bro
Thank you so much :D The laser strengthening and the laser cleaning fixed my xbox! Thank you!!!!!!
The 2 screws on the back of the laser are potentiometers and shouldn't be messed with without knowing what you are doing. They don't actually increase the power of the laser per say. They control the laser resistance. Benq and Lite On use the same laser and are notorious for dying. You can lower the resistance and get some more life out of it. BUT if you lower it too much, the laser can burn your game disc and kill it. Adjusting them without a multi meter is a desperation/last option solution.
it wont burn your game disc will it? pretty sure you mean you lower the resistance too much therefore provide too much power to the laser and burn it out. (the laser)
im putting a new laser in an old xbox and i might try increading resistance to protect (undervolt) the laser a bit. so long as it still reads, as i dont want it to burn out as fast as the last one. but then again, if you weaken the laser it might have to work twice as hard to read discs and thus still wear out just as fast anyway. especially if you are using backup/ burned games that usually especially after microsoft added that extra .2gb or whatever to edge of discs in XGD3 that mean we have to overburn discs to 8.7gb on 8.5gb discs which means a lesser quality burn thats harder to read...
eh, why am i still typing. this video is old. xbox 360's are old. i am old. i am tired. i am going to bed. :-)
WORKS LIKE A CHARM MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH
cool tutorials man, subbed.
Thanks so much!
This video was great and helped me fix two of my old xbox's
Oh thank you! You are a life saver! OMG i can now buy games for once!
@Cuntseeded
i dont agree, i have fixed many consoles drives this way and they have lasted year(s) so yes maybe your method is the "proffesional" way but my way is affective
@htddu908
no problem, glad to help :)
@ChubY1CanobY
you would have to flash the new dvd drive with your dvd key
Cool, thanks for the tips!
thanks man that really help my system is working again
@dazza723
i personally hate messing with lasers, there is no point of no return once you hit 360 it restarts, tbh its usually easier to just replace the laser if you cant get it going after a little
Thanks mate did the screw turning bit and its worked,i will see if it loads again tommorow.You my freind are a gentleman and a scholar !!!!!,saved me ££££££..Thanks again
@GaMzyProductions
you mean to remove the tray? or just to pull the tray out?
@malekai777
you cant tell what kind of drive you have by the model, you 60g could have any of the four drives that where made for fats, only way to know is open it up
yeeeaaaahhhh boy!!!!!!!! U da man ......nice info there, clear cut and to the point. The tweaking of the eye laser screws the right one i turned anticlockwise just a little and it worked now it reads disc all the time .....U R DA MAN....lol
Hey man you seem the most knowledgeable outta the bunch I've looked through to repair this issue it is the issue I was having until my kid shoved the drive in physically I uploaded a vid of what my drive does now if you can take a look and possibly see if there's anything you could recommend
@malekai777
replacing the laser will probably be easier otherwise you will have to buy all the flashing hardware or take it to someone since you have a liteon
This honestly fixed my Xbox
Donovan Shearer awesome glad it helped!
+Dopesoner what way do you turn the right screw to increase the power of the laser?
PeterThaBeater I need help
Your a life saver bro. I cant believe turning one little screw made it work lmao.
Thanks bro it really helped
OMG THANKS!!!!! it worked iv been looking everywhere for a legit way!!! everyone who thinks this doesnt work it does!
Thank you Sir! Its about time i found someone who actually knew what the hell he was talking about
duuude this was the only useful vid I could find..fuck envelopes, fuck tapping the side..finally I'm playing a game with no errors...thank you soo much...
Thank you so much I was scared when gta wasn't working then I did this and it works
@kc88kc
is that what i said at the intro? lol that was my ebay id so i noticed i mixed them up in a few vids haha
Heres one for ya...mine has been updated,has worked fine till the past month. No matter what game i put in 360 or reg xbox game, it just says reading,push the eject button wont open,turn off,fan still runs,unplug for a min and plug back up,then push disc tray button and opens fine. System menu operates fine ??? havent played on it in a month does this whenever try to play something
@NotTodaySista
very little its not like your tightening anything it just focuses in and focuses out so just a hair at a time
This was REALLY helpfull thx
@Garret525
No worries bro glad i could help
Thank you for helping me.. now my xbox tray is working and I didn't have to pay for a new one, and spend $30..... Great Video but u should of made the two laser screw screws a little more detailed, on like which way to turn it
fixed the problem, thanks, thats awesome!!!!!
Thank you so much dude.
subscribed. thank you
@SirJesu5
once i get my flashing tools from xconsoles i will make videos i thought i would have them by now but their site is down for maintenence
@malekai777
well what error do you have open tray? you probably need a new laser then
Thanks! i works great
Great vid man i was able to fix my x box its was like that for 8 months thanks alot! ;o
Yay I fixed my Xbox again your a life savor :)
Thank you so much #SUBSCRIBED
Can the band be replaced more than 2 times. The person who fixed mine last time said you could only replace it once before the clip broke.
@BenMarial
a standard philips
so I see that you buy a lot of rrod xboxes and I was wondering were you get all of them just eBay??? or can you find other places and do you buy few big lots of them or just lots of little lots
@malekai777 no problem man and thanks :)
Hey Niko! Let's go bowling!
i have no idea if you still respond to comments but do you know why a disk drive would make the two buzzing sounds, then shortly after a slight buzz. then say to open tray. in summary not even trying to read a disk.
Is that a slim? It looks like a slim because of the wedged cover
@thedopesoner930 yea i've been thinking about that. that's the only thing i can think about. do you think it will be a good idea to just get a new disk drive?
I seen u said turn right screw to make to stronger but what way? Ty
Wow thanks it actually reads games now
I took your advice and used a Q-Tip with a bit of rubbing alcohol on the tip to clean the disk reader, but it still isn't reading disks. Do you have any other ideas I could try to fix it? :/
Thx man
Cleaning my laser lens didnt work. But after that I adjusted that screw counterclockwise just a hair and now my system works like new again! Thanks bromosapien.
Glad to hear :) I knew this video would be useful but I can't believe how many people I was able to help
Left or right screw
Left or right screw
1/2 human Pause the vid at :09. Looking from this angle its the right screw. Rotate it 180 degrees, then it will be on your left looking from the back side of the tray. Rotate the screw counterclockwise just till you barley notice it moved. Then see how it works.
thank's for you tutorial
Hi how do you know where to set the two screws to?i have been trying to realign the laser back to its best position and have no luck!I got two xbox,s now that i cant play!I think maybe i have gone to far the point of no return and maybe just better off buying two new replacement lasers?any tips would be great!
Try using the left pot screw. Turn that slightly to the left. The left controls the games and right is for CD/DVD
what can you do if you turn the thingy behind the lens too much and it gets loose? can it be fixed?
i have the 60 gig pro version, i know that the xbox has come with several drives over the past 5 years. is there anything different about the 60 gig one that i need to know?? thanks for the tips too
what screws do you have to take off of it to get the chip and black casing off?
thanks man
@Garret525
I cant guarantee it but it definitely should bro it has worked for me on tons of xboxs
@thedopesoner930 well thanks for all the advice my friend, you have a subscriber
Thank You Soooooo
Thank u it worked but the lil circle thing has to be cleaned. Thanks man! :-)
@thedopesoner930 Quick question.. I have an xbox 360 slim all taken apart fixed but now the laser sits on the rails or whatever and it doesnt want to move most the time any suggestions?
I like the word "Noob friendly" sounds so good to me
ok
@themgmt420 so like the disc would read, you would play, then before it loads it would disconnect you, than it would connect when you went to the dashboard?
Thank you
Ya btw mines a slim console I tried to adjust the laser screws and still not spinning idk what else causes it to spin for a sec then stops. Please help me out man.
After cleaning the laser discs are still unreadable. It's not a disc problem, i checked. How can i solve this? Also i have a small Grey cushion i don't know where to put back,.. Thanks in advance
I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve u the screw thing worked that just saved me
how did you disassemble the drive? obviously four screws come out but how do the ribbon cables come out?
ayy where do you get the screw driver to turn the lil screws?
thank you :)
@Iskate1zEro
are u hot swapping when it doesn't move?
hell yea thanks
thanks for the info you help me fix my xbox 360 :)
No problem, glad it helped :)! Thanks for subscribing!
thank you
@BenMarial ok i open the took off the screws for xbox 360 slim i tryed pulling the disc drive but disc tray gets in the way
How do u fix a 360 that doesn't read any disc and i have to tap the top of the console to make it read all the time and if the disc it to scratched it wont read like it used to. Please help i wana play bo2
Could you fix my Xbox pls it won't read disc every time I put call of duty in it says open tray and my game is not scratched
@thedopesoner930 well i did open it up and it's a phillips and lite on drive. i opened it up and the lazer wasn't in the back so that's not the problem and i only found one screw on there and tightend it and it still didn't do anything. any advice?
What direction do u turn the thing on the right at 1:17
hey! the problem i am having with my disc drive is that it is stuck open only about an inch and will not slide back and forth even half an inch. the drive was stuck closed and my sister tried prying it open with a knife so it is now jammed therefor i cannot pull the tray out far enough to fully reveal the band or what ever may be stopping the tray from moving. i dont want to force it and make it even worse, but please let me know if you have any ideas what could be causing this!!
Yea it will i used my elite it worked :D
@KJJrProductionz Hot swapping or just playing a game.. the laser doesnt want to go anywhere its weird
how do u get ur disc tray off the tracks. iv seen vids where a guy slides something then it allows u too but my disc tray doesn't have that. my xbox is the slim and it looks like theres plastic blocking where u slide it
I've had my xbox since 08 and now when I try to play any disc games I get the "open tray" no matter how clean/new the disc is will this help ?
idk
