- for all those who's consoles are giving you that "we cannot read this disc" error message, this is what I did to fix mine.
it started out as once in a while, a quick hit to the console sometimes fixed it, but then it did it all the time.
Basically, taking it apart and cleaning the disc drive solved the problem, here's how I did it.
removing outer casing • Xbox One Casing removal - Hry
That was single handedly one of the most traumatizing experiences of my life. I felt like I was trying to dismantle a bomb with the scrutinizing watchful eyes of my children. It Worked though.
impressive!
I agree 💯 lol
thanks a bunch.did the same only used a qtip and rubbing alcohol. and it worked first try. saved me the 80 dollars a new disc drive would have cost me.if I ever see you at a bar I owe you a beer.
Schuyler Ramstead how you roll it
An 80 dollar beer
Sadly if it didn’t work you couldn’t use a new disc drive so he saved you way more than 80$ he saved you from getting a new console btw if you are wondering why you can’t use a new one the disc drive in married to the mother board you owe him a nice bottle of whiskey
@@BorkBorkMcGee You can get a new disc drive
Why im watching this at 4 am, and i have a Ps4.

LMFAO
KillinMachine 😂😂😂😂😂😭💯
Best comment I've ever seen on anything ever🤣
PS4 sucks lol you have issues with updates an such we dont.😅😂
You’ve just saved me the cost of a new Xbox one s. After four years, my optical drive quit reading discs. I followed your procedure and it is working again. Thank you so much for this.
am I'm the only one who scared to do this
AtlYoungin in with u
Ive opened up systems since atri up thir alot more rogid than yea tgink
AtlYoungin no
screws are soo fucking hard to pull them off.. but anyway i did it and in the process i beat the fuck out of the console and i put it everything back when i finish and it started and all that shit but still with the same problem
No
Dude the ONLY thing that has worked for me! THANK YOU!! You saved my kids Christmas morning because they will now be able to play their new games that weren't working before :)
Raquel J you could always get a new disk replacement and then take the old one out the put the new one in
I did this an now it won't read any disc. Exactly like you showed me and said to do it. Before it would read some disc's now it won't read any disc
You can actually blow in it super hard and it will fix, you will have to do it a lot of times tho. Because it’s not permanent
Great info, worked on a Day One console. Hadn't ever been cleaned before, this did the trick.
Thank you for posting this for us all, as it will/does help, to get possible friendly advice from a person that has taken the risk of damaging their own electronics, to offer a intelligent repair, that clearly works well.
Bruh I opened everything up just to find out mines clean
Damn
How long have you had yours
Mine looked clean to but cleaned it and now its working again.
@@code187copkilla im thinkin about cleaning but it’s risky
🤣
I had some issues where I put the CD in and it would make the sound like it was still trying to inject the CD so I took apart the CD drive and did a comparison for the components to yours and found out that I had a gear slip on the mechanism that sucks in the. your video was absolutely one hundred percent helpful in figure out what was wrong with my Xbox I really appreciate the video bro
i CAN FINALLY NOT BE SCARED TO SWAP GAMES.
Crack open a cold Xbox with the boys!

i love you man. this worked like a charm. followed this and your other video and l am back in action.
John Anyanwu Jr. Hey bro what tools did you use
Great tutorial!
With your 2 videos on opening the case and the disc drive and using a little patience, i have a fully functioning XBox One again.
Big thanks!!!
I've had this problem for a while now and I tried this and it worked first time. Thank you! You are the man!!
Your video really helped me fix my drive issue on my Xbox One, thank you! I was about to pull the trigger and buy and new drive for $50 when I stumbled across your video. My drive would only read a after putting it in and taking it out 5-7 times, it was rather frustrating.
Following your video I was able to get into the Xbox One case and into the drive and clean the roller. I used windex and several q-tips to clean the roller. I used an old disc put into the drive slot to help roll the roller when cleaning. Once that was done and put back together the drive is now seating the disk 100% of the time! Thank you again, you helped save me some green
For anyone visiting in 2022 and you really just don't want to take apart your Xbox, I have found a fix for you. 5:08 he says the disc wasn't going in all the way which means you can either push your disc in a bit faster than normal, or hold it in the tray while it's trying to take it in for about 2 seconds, then let go. Both worked for me first try, and it's definitely a lot easier than this lol
While this worked a few times for me, it’s not a 100% guaranteed fix. It’s easier for long term to just dust it out
@@samuraijokester9907 the disc read is just shotty equipment
Thank you so much for the videos. My 2 year old daughter stuck a quarter in the cd slot. I figured it out after shaking the Xbox and hearing a rattling sound. I followed the steps and took the coin out. I am so happy my xbox one is working again. Thanks a million!
super easy guides to follow watched both case taking off and cleaning of the disc drive and solved my problem discs started to glide into system like it was fresh out of the box thank you very much :)
Genius! It worked! Saved me the expense of buying a new xbox. From this point forward, I'm making sure my discs are clean. Dirty discs = dirty drives.
Thank you for this video! My Xbox is back in business!
It just stopped reading disks, and you’re right, the roller had minor dust on it, which I cleaned with a q-tip and alcohol.. works like a charm now!
Thanks buddy, you just saved me going out and buying a new console. My son stuck a peace of paper in the drive. Lucky I came across your video. Thanks a million!
Thank you for sharing this. I was able to take the Xbox apart and found that one of my sons had shoved a dime into the disc reader. Finally works after many months. You saved me the headache of repair and money.
My 18 month old son just shoved a potato chip in mine, gonna try this
Every other video is just kids or young adults talking about putting the disc in but holding onto it before it goes all the way in and then just letting it go so it has more of a “pulling force” to get all the way in. Those ways never worked, but when I did this and saw how dirty my drive was, I knew exactly that this way is gonna work. It worked perfectly and now I can put any disc in and it works perfectly! Thanks a lot man, much appreciated, saves me the money to have it looked at
I just wanted to say, thank you for this video. I did mine today, and now it works perfect! Saved me time and money!
extremely helpful video. after a decade still using the xbox one and this video helped fix the cd drive. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for the tutorial. Had my Xbox One for about 11 years, and this has started happening with discs. Going to give this a go.
Thank you so much for the videos! One of my games got stuck in the disc drive and not even the "manual eject" method would work, but thanks to you, I was able to pull it apart and put it back together with a little more confidence!
My game also got stuck in the disc drive and manual eject does not work for me either. I'm a little hesitant on taking my xbox apart but I would like to try this method out. Once you opened up the disc drive, is it easy to take the game out?
how did you get the game out i have the same problem
Thank you very very much.i have the first gen xbox one and it would not read any disc at all.tried the tilt method and the power mode method nothing worked until I watched this video and cleaned the roller on the inside of the disc tray.there was a TON of dirt/dust in there preventing it from working.this video completely fixed the problem
my disc drive has been screwed up for a while now. you just helped me fix it. Same problem he had and he helped so much.
Bro u r a life saver this is the only video that acc fixed My problem the rest was just telling me to restart Xbox. U r a legend
Thank you man I know it's like a couple years old of a video but you just helped me so much and I tried to do it my self and I accidentally unplugged my storage unit and reset my Xbox lol
Another happy customer. Thanks so much for your video. My Forza 7 game was stuck in my disk drive and would not come out.
And yes it's out of warranty.
So I followed your video,and the roller bar you said was dirty on yours was the same on mine also.
So by using a cue tip with rubbing alcohol on it and inserting a old CD in and out causing the roller to turn and going all along the roller I removed all the dust that was causing the problem,and now it works just fine again.
Again thanks for your post.
Because trying to get help from Microsoft was a pain in the ASS.
I find just lifting the xbox slightly after inserting the disc works just fine. I don't many physical copies but this worked for games, dvd and blu ray
Thank you! I just did this after 30 minutes of inserting s disc over and over, and it worked immediately!
It doesn’t work.
AHAHAH tried this and it fully worked
I just did this and I am happy to say that it worked. I tried all of the other tricks that people were using and it didn't work for my Xbox. So I followed this video and cleaned the dust off of the roller now it takes in discs and reads them! Thank you so much for your guidance through this nerve-wracking procedure. You, my friend, are the man!
Omg! This worked. Sucks because I have several 4K disks I haven't been able to watch. Finally, googled the error to find out why and came across your video. Thank you!
I started but sadly didn’t have the tools for the screws, so I just grabbed a thick sheet of paper ( from a pack of batteries) put some rubbing alcohol and shoved it in the disc drive and shoved it in deep in and out lol. It work!!! Years of the issue solved thanks to you, I used to have to tilt my Xbox smack it a couple times but all it needed was a little clean
can't believe that's all it took. my xbox hasn't been working for about a month. decided to try the fix out to keep from spending money on it and it seems to be working fine. thanks!
My girlfriend got me a new game and I couldn’t play it so I watched your video and it works better than it ever has. Thank you so much.
Hey Thanks for the info I used your tutorial, opened the disk drive and had a foreign piece of plastic in it cleaned it out working fine now
Thank you so much. This video helped me take apart my xbox and take two quarters out of the disc drive.
just wanted to say thanks, ive only tried it once but once is enough. happy holidays!
Hi happy new year and all the best in 2016.
Thank you so much, I tried it out and its working for me. thanks ones again.
I just took mine apart and the disk drive roller was clean but my cd is not going all the way back anymore so i just ordered another disk drive from Amazon. Thanks for this video.
Awesome! My kid has the Xbox one S but it was also having the same problem. I got to the cd drive and cleaned the rollers just like you showed and now it runs like a top. Man I love CZcams! Thanks for the guidance! 👏👏👏
cool i have an one and also an S i hope this works im going to try this tommorow
Yo, this worked like a charm, really appreciate it! The optical drive stopped reading intermittently then completely stopped reading games. Would still read some blu rays and dvds so I knew it wasn't complete failure. Lots of comments on what the tools were... Torx 9 and 10, Philips 0. Microsoft wanted me to spend time and money to send in and get repaired (out of warranty) so I decided to risk it because I'd be spending money either way. Works perfect.
My xbox isn't reading any discs and I'm faced with only three options; pay someone to repair it, buy a new xbox or the last but certainly most enticing option of repairing it myself. Two days ago I opened up my xbox one before having to stop in my tracks at the AT screws. In every air intake hole it was packed with a rusty looking dust, obviously I've not been taking care of it and I'm hoping that once I get inside the disc drive it's dirty and not broken, just checked this video out before opening the metal casing and now I know what to do cheers man
I've been tipping my Xbox up while loading to give it some gravity assist. this is a much better fix thanks.
My Xbox One LIVES!!!! You are a god among gods, my good sir! Thank you so much!
Just did this for my old xbox one now it works perfectly!!! Thx for the video.
The bar didnt actually look all that dirty on mine but the bit of dust I did take off got it working. I did also just have a play around with the mechanical bits (literally just moving them manually because it looked cool) so that may have also had something to do with it. Saved me a few hundred pounds for a new series X!
Got the new FIFA and disc drive had been playin up but only ever had one game on disc and bang Fifa got stuck and wouldn't eject even with the manual eject sent two hours tryin to get the disc then seen this and followed it to the letter and got my disc out and now the disc drive works like brand new with no noises and reads discs every time we're it never did before ..top vid !!
When you think that it is an open slot design , so dust will get in there all the time and putting the disk in and out , after a time it is no surprise that it wont load or read right. The old 360 had a sliding tray , I never had this problem unless the disk was scratched.
Thanks guy. I'm hoping this will he my fix. I've been looking at replacing the whole disc drive.
It worked thank you dude, and people don't be afraid to do this if you have enough caution nothing bad will happen!
Thanks a lot, this reminds me of repairing old laser jet printers, paper feed rollers needed cleaning over time.
I've saved this..this video is awesome, you may have saved me having to source another console , cheers fella 👌
Did he?
This worked perfectly. You rock dude.
My roller didn't look dirty, but i fidgeted with the gears and cleaned around. Put it all back together and problem fixed. Thanks!
thank you ! this work totally for me.. awesome i was really worry because my X1 star to no read cds but i follow your video and now works perfect!
Super late comment/question...sorry. What screwdriver set are you using? I'd love a set with the interchangeable bits, lol.
Great help allowed me to save a brand new disk from being destroyed
Thanks for the video. was very easy to remove case and drive for cleaning. improved the loading of the discs but still wouldnt read. had to use an Uber (yes Uber) Blue Ray / DVD cleaner. so far so good. Thanks again!
This fixed my problem, thanks a million dude!
Fixed the problem! I had just bought one used and CD wasn’t loading. Followed the video and low and behold the previous owners kid had shoved their vax card into the CD slot. Once that was removed and the rollers cleaned, it worked perfectly.
Dude man thanks a lot you saved me over 100 bucks, the problem with mine was that there was a quarter stuck in the roller
I saw this video last year but was afraid to take my Xbox apart and break the tabs (I hate tabs) but it was surprisingly pretty easy. my work around during the past year was just to hold the disc for an extra few seconds until the Xbox pulled the disc out of my hand. Having the Xbox tilted back at a 20 degree angle or greater also worked. today I decided to clean the rollers and the slot loading issue was fixed. no more work around. thank you very much for your post.
Hey man I wanna thank you for showing me how to get to the disk drive I too was having problems that the disk wouldn't grab so I had decided to go in deeper and to my surprise one of my son's had try to hide a chuck E cheese coin in the drive it self lol but yeah thanks for the tutorial
I did it !!! and NOW works like a champ !! it wouldnt even play movie or a game disk , cleaned it out now it works !!!
Worked perfectly. Same deal. Much appreciated!
What were the two screws you were using in the video
Thanks for showing what the roller look like a lot of the videos just we’re doing swaps and I didn’t need to swap my shit at work still I just didn’t want to take the disc and so appreciate you
Thanks for the video man. Will try this out tonight.
This video helped me fix my cd drive there was no dust in the cd drive but the laser lens was dirty so i cleaned it with a dry cotton bud and it fixed the problem
Thanks so much bro me and my big bro have been looking how to fix it for 6 Months straight
I feel you man I feel like it happened to me long before this was becoming a problem for a lot of people so there was like nothing on the web to solve the problem
Another thank you, another working disc drive!
Thanks for the video, this worked like a champ.
The ribbon wire came off the part of my Xbox where the you sync the controllers and stuff I tried putting it back in but now it doesn't work any suggestions on how to fix it ?
If You dont want to open your xbox there is another solution which is to slant your xbox up at a 45 degree angle and put the disc in then it should load the disc
Was yours making loud noises before cleaning it as well?
@Gubermonkey thank you because of this every disk reads and also I didn't have to pay for Microsoft to do it. Thumbs up for you!
Thanks! I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Have had problems since I got it. It worked fine when I bought it, then about 3 months later it started not reading DVD discs, then stopped reading them altogether. Then started not reading Blu-ray Discs and then altogether as well. Now certain discs tend to work still though, oddly. Got it repaired, it was fine. Then 3 months later the cycle continued. My room with my system gets really dusty really fast though. So I'm hoping this is the case and not the laser itself. Because there's no good way to clean correctly.
My Xbox start reading CDs again ... XD
Thank you for the detailed video. my problem was little bit different but was with the disc driver. My little brother forcibly insert a disc while the xbox was off that caused the gear on the side to be misaligned. all what i had to do was align them again
When you put your disc in, did the disc drive start up for 1 second and then just stop, and does it do that 6 times in a row before stopping altogether?
Nice one, mine stopped reading discs unless you tilted the console back like 30 degrees. Striped it down cleaned off the roller like in your video and boom now reads discs every time without fail in it normal flat position
Hello, so I pulled my disc drive out to see what was going on with it. The gears on the top have now fallen out and there seems to be a black v shaped spring that fell out too. Any chance you know how to reassemble this thing or could post a quick video showing how the gears flow together...can't find a damn thing about it anywhere. Barely even a photo of the gears
My disc is stuck in the disc drive, is wont come out. When I press the eject button it just makes a grinding noise. If I do this, will I be able to take the disc out and there will be no damage to the game?
At least you might be able to see what's going on why it's getting stuck. You should be able to get it out by taking it apart
k_sweg gamer there's a little hole to the side of ur Xbox its a manual way to eject disk u just need something long and steady and thin to press it
CrazyKevin75 bebddbs
Dude much thanks , I thought I'd broke the ribbon to the power supply and eject button, but also the discs are getting thinner ( cheaper ) so that might make a difference cause iv only had issues with the thinner discs . Soundo il try it now fingers,eyes, and ass home crossed :)
Thanks man:)This was easy to do and it worked,:)This video saved me to go purchase a new one:))Thanks again man:))
Thanks man Xbox works pefect now 2 Thumbs Up!!! GREAT VIDEO
Thanks for the video will help as my son decided to put my driving licence in my wife's xbox woo will sort it when i get home shortly.
Thanks, what type of diskdrive i need? You got a part number or something for me please? I want to replace it
I'm having the same issue however I'm not so sure it's a dirty roller as DVD's will play but Blu Rays and games won't. I've think I've got an issue with the Blu Ray laser.
hey man can I ask what tool you were using at 1:30? It was a number 10 something I wasn't to sure what you said
Torx bit
+gubermonkey THANK YOU
Okay. So the ribbon connecting the two sides came a part on me...suggestions on how i can put it back on?
Great instructions and it worked a treat
Soooooo. I opened up my drive on my Forza edition and the roller was like new. It's a few years old but I rarely use the drive except for my older games. I put everything back together and to my luck I was able to launch a disc. Perhaps it just needed a bit of a reset for my situation but positive results either way. Thank you for posting this video.
This fixed my Xbox one -- thanks!!!
What other kinds of stuff can we use to clean the disc drive
Awesome bud. That really helped a lot. Thanks
