  • @1969RSCamaro
    @1969RSCamaro Před 10 lety +5

    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.

    • @wotever99ninynine
      @wotever99ninynine Před 5 lety +1

      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. :-)

    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!

  • @crazymonkey334
    @crazymonkey334 Před 12 lety

    OMG THANKS!!!!! it worked iv been looking everywhere for a legit way!!! everyone who thinks this doesnt work it does!

  • @ModBotArmy
    @ModBotArmy  Před 12 lety

    @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

  • @ModBotArmy
    @ModBotArmy  Před 12 lety

    @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

    @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?

  • @malekai777
    @malekai777 Před 12 lety

  • @mclumpynuggets6429
    @mclumpynuggets6429 Před 8 lety

    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

  • @ModBotArmy
    @ModBotArmy  Před 12 lety

    @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

  • @calebcroney4848
    @calebcroney4848 Před 7 lety

    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.

    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.

    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!!

I'm trying to figure out exactly how to adjust the screws, the model optical drive I have is a DG-16D2S Phillips Lite-on Drive. I was considering buying a replacement off Amazon.com for $27, but I'd like to try adjusting the laser first. Please reply to me, I really need some help so I can finally enjoy GTA V.
