CHANNEL STATEMENT: This is a channel about my relationship with stuff. We all need to have a better relationship with the stuff in our lives - we have too much of it, and most of it’s junk. If nothing else I hope you take away with you an interest in the stuff in your life - a curiosity for how it’s made - why it’s good or bad - and perhaps even inspiration to build new stuff or fix what you’ve got. Having said that - the internet is a terrible place to learn anything. Unless you independently verify what you learn - you’ll never know if it was right or wrong or made up completely…. Unfortunately disinformation is both the currency and the bane of our era. I’m no expert in anything you’ll see here. I don’t want you to think that I am. Through my job I have access to people who are - and I’ve learned from them over the last couple of decades and become someone who is curious about stuff, brave about stuff , and foolish enough to try and make a youtube channel about my relationship with stuff all at the same time.
DISCLAIMER / PLEASE READ: In making this channel I will put more effort into making the content accurate, safe and correct than most - but that doesn’t mean I can’t be wrong. Accordingly I can’t guarantee or warranty any specific outcome for viewers should they attempt something similar to what they see on the channel. I encourage you not to copy projects you see here directly but build on them - discuss them with experts in your life, and make them better - make them work safely for you. We all need to figure out a better way to own stuff - this channel is meant to illustrate my experience with that, promote learning, have some fun, and challenge myself. Working with any tool or on any project can lead to unintended results - including injury and damage to property. Don’t work beyond your capability. In the same way I have to take complete responsibility for the outcome of my endeavours as recorded here, and my own safety and the safety of those around me - you have to do the same….. Use the information here at your own risk. Be safe, have fun, proceed with the appropriate caution for your situation…. - Jak na to + styl

Just used this video to clean my disk drive works like new. Hasn’t worked right in years. Thank you for this cleaned my entire Xbox 360 out with the previous video stated.
I want to thank you for your video, my 360 wasn’t reading my games and kept ejecting the games. I followed your steps and to my delight my console reads my games and works wonderfully. Thank you!
Glad it could help out! Appreciate the comment - thanks for watching…!
Thank you for this video! I accidentally ran my Xbox upside down destroying a copy of Forza and also misaligning something in the optical drive. This video along with your cleaning video helped me get it back in running shape. I will say though that I had to take it apart a second time because the lever we pressed to manually open the disc tray did not go all the way back into position after closing so I had to manually push it to the position I found it in. Apart from that all good! Warning to all: DON'T USE IT UPSIDE DOWN!!! 🤦♂️
spot on and great instructor!
thanks for this and the basic opening and cleaning guide! just got a 360 from goodwill and the only problem with it was the disc drive got stuck. and now it doesn't :3
glad it could help out
What's the best ways to detach the wiring attached to the back end without destroying the ports? Just wiggle n pull slowly?
Do you add lithium grease on the sliding mechanism? So many 360s I'm finding have a prpblem woth the drive not opebing now but the belts don't look deformed or dirty so I wander if that is just the issue?
i cant find any videos on this without them being already removed but i need to transfer my top ring to my old 360 disk tray because the replacement doesnt work and i need the cd tray top spinner on the lid and thats it
The grease on the rods are lubricant to let the mechanism move freely. Cleaning dirty lubricant is good, but you need to apply more fresh lubricant.
What type of lubricant would you recommend? I see conflicting views on white lithium grease and silicone based grease. I'm sure what to go with.
Super Lube 21030 Synthetic Grease is what I use.
Followed this video and my 360 can read disks again! Thanks for the tutorial
Glad it could help out!!!
My 360 is weird. It reads some games but doesn’t read others.
Your laser is dying. It’s better to replace laser.
Either your laser is on its way out or it’s an issue with the games
Homie got refined taste
Same
Can you use isopropyl alcohol on the lens as well?
Also very helpful video 10/10
Thanks man! Great informative video
Glad it was helpful!
My games play ones then when I move my 360 somewhere else it doesn’t play anymore
Bro my cd is not working on xbox 360 the cd is brand new but its not working plz help me is the xbox dvd rom is not working? Plz reply me 😢
Good afternoon! Could you recommend what lubricant I should use on the rails/gears of my Xbox 360 optical drive?
Silicone grease
Not sure if anyone will actually read my comments. But my Xbox 360 just started having trouble with reading movies, but it plays the video games perfectly fine. 😐😐 what could it mean
Despite cleaning I still have to insert the disc multiple times before it finally reads the disc.
Is this a sign that the laser might need replacement?
That is a sign your laser assembly is dying. I think there might be a way to calibrate the pots a little bit, don't quote me on that, but yeah sooner or later it'll die out completely.
Got any tips for restoring game disks?

I can't get the drive to turn enough to be able to open the disc tray manually. I feel like if I pull much harder it will break. Any tips?
Push a straightened paperclip into the first hole from the left/top until it pushes the gear enough for the tray to open.
Replace the cheap belt that opens and closes the tray and yes to open it initially the paper clip
Another disc drive saved
I have no idea how to recondition the belt I tried to search “how to recondition rubber band” and all I’m getting is magic tricks pls help my Xbox is already taken apart
I had the same question and another video said to put the belt in hot or boiling water and that should shrink it back if it is stretched out. I haven't tested this so try it at your own discretion.
@@HaloGrunt15I can confirm this does sometimes work. I did it to 2 original Xboxes and it fixed the jammed drives. Obvious your mileage may vary, all depends on the belt.
It not that easy in some models.
followed instructions and still not working aaauuuuugghb
