What a difference. Six years and the style has changed so much I can't believe it is the same guy doing the repairs today. Now I know I have to get a new optical drive because mine has no sprocketsnor gears in working order, even if my laser still works. Swapping time, here we go!
i struggled way too long to get the upper case back on (last step). recommendation: as soon as the upper case is removed, separate it into two plates (top and front). MUCH easier to restore top face, then ribbon, then front face.
Wish I'd read this before starting.
Lmao I found that out after struggling for longer than I'd like to admit. Should have read the comments
thank you!
I just wanted to say THANK YOU so much for making such a detailed video of this! My laser was not broken, but my 2 year old had shoved a dead leaf into the disc drive and there was a stick that was stuck in it making it no longer play any discs. I followed your instructions to the letter and was able to open it up and thoroughly clean the disc injection area (of which I had to take that black piece off the front of the drive to get to all the small leaf pieces) as well as leaf parts in the disc seating area. I put everything back together and now we can play our favorite shows and video games again. Thanks again!
Ha, ha...nice. We find all sorts of stuff in them! Glad this helped you get yours working.
@@Tronicsfix does this fix the on/off problem with the Xbox one
Today, 5 years later, I restored my Day One 2013 Edition, which was no longer able to read discs properly. Without your video I got stuck after removing the PCB. I saw no way to get to the laser. Thank you!
What was wrong with it? I have the same issue with my day one
@@djesteem01 in my case the laser was bad. Replacing it solved the issue.
Dude! Been watching you for a couple of years and you're great. My friend needed his one cleaned and I totally forgot how to do the front panel reassembly. This is the first time I've seen one of your early vids. You made my day! You're absolutely excellent man, no matter how young. Keep the vids coming and thnx fr th mmrs 👍
It has to be said, your videos are top quality and many thanks for the above video. I have a dead xbone drive and this may be the answer :)
Oh and for the "Budding Electrician/Bodger", a tip...
You own a mobile phone right?
Take photos of the disassembly as you perform it. This way when it comes to putting it back together, you can follow the pics in reverse order :)
Some ribbon cables can be a nightmare (PS2)
Great tutorial to get the Xbox One console apart. I will follow your instructions. Thank you 🙏🏻
Hey man just wanna say thanks for the video!!! My mom got me one for Christmas 2nd hand. And when I got it home it wasn't reading disc. Followed your video to find a quarter stuck in the disc drive lol but thanks to your video I was able to fix my problem and put it back together piece of cake
Glad it helped!
Thanx to this video on how to take this blu ray drive apart, i manage to fix my problem which was i found a thin metal arm out of place. i manage to put it back in place reinstall the blu ray drive now its operational.
Thanks a million for this video! My friend's kid had stuck a bunch of coins in the disc reader but this had me fix the problem and get back to gaming in no time! That last install of the top panel is hell, pretty much have to line up the bottom teeth and 🙏😳
The Xbox One Advanced Warfare Limited Edition is my longest owned Xbox One. I stood in line outside for 6 hours at Gamestop in the freezing cold for my preorder of this console. I don't know how. But I still have this Xbox One and it has not once giving me any issues whatsoever. I have taken good care of it and have kept it clean. I use a vacuum cleaner and suck out all the dust from the vents regularly to prevent major dust from getting deep inside the console. I haven't even broken the warranty sticker even though its way out of warranty. When the S came out I was going to upgrade. But ended up waiting. Then the X came out and I mistaken it for the next gen Xbox and made my purchase. I was going to sell my old Xbox One. But im so glad that I didn't. As now after all my bad luck after owning several brand new XB1X systems. That all seem to come faulty. The Advanced Warfare Xbox One limited edition will always remain my back up. So I can keep on gaming.
I really think this is one of the better consoles as far as design and component placement goes. Fairly easy to access and work on.
This procedure worked for me! Great job!!
Notes: 1) make sure you take out game disc from CD drive, mine wouldn't restart until I removed!
2) that flat cable to the front panel is a real trick: my connector also had a small lock to undo, besides the loop around the connector. I put mine on the edge of a table so I could look up while connecting, this is suggested in the video, but it does help! I used flashlights to help see too! This might be trickiest part of the surgery!!
3) inside the DVD drive, there is a small black square thats actually a microswitch... I couldn't get control PC board in until I got this swith to ride on top of a white bar that must related to having the CD in...
Thank you!!
You looked so nervous after putting the disc in! Great video!
I had to push the center wheel piece that spins the laser and it was just stuck. Works fine now. Thank you for helping me open the Xbox one
Thank you, great tutorial, it really help me out.
THANK YOU!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Man... Your videos saved my xbox ass so many times
OMG haha thank you so much dudes!!
never even pulled apart my xbox before and I've followed all steps and think i wanna start work in IT hahaha
nah but thanks heaps, money savers
+Kid Jinks Glad our video helped!
@@Tronicsfix thanks for your videos. I fixed my own Xbox one X and I recently bought an S for $75US and fixed it for $17US. I appreciate what you do!!
Old drive was not feeding properly. New drive would not read game discs. Swapped disc feed carriage in new drive to the other parts in old drive. 2 screws hold in the motor in the back left. No soldering needed. Everything works. Thanks for the video. Using the prongs for a fork perpendicular to the case also works for releasing tabs without the tool.
You're doing a great job! It seems easy when watching you XD. That will help me to clean the dust on the internals I think my XOne start overheating from time to time.
I'm sur I will not go that deep into the laser thought.
Thanks a lot followed ever step and I just finished fixing my disc tray keep up the good work bruh 🤙🏽🖒🏽
Thanks bruh!
All of a sudden I got this video in my feed very nice brother keep doing this 😅
Thanks to your video I fixed my xbox , I took some COINS out of the disc drive , you're good explaining every step , you got one more subscriber
Awesome! Glad it helped...thanks for the sub!
Thank you for the video. It was informative and helped a lot. Time for a new drive.
So cool watching some of your earlier videos. You've definitely gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. Also, I love that shirt.
Wow your videos changed a lot can you grow your channel pretty good man keep up that great work you're doing your videos are awesome
This was very helpful. I was able to confidently and carefully pull apart my Xbox and I found out why my drive wouldn't properly accept discs.. It was a grape. Serious.
Omg thank you so much for helping me put my xbox back together 😄😄 was having a hard time putting it back together
When reassembling the case just un clip the face plate where the ribbon cable is. That way you can just snap on the top of the case. Then that makes it MUCH easier to install the ribbon cable and then just align the bottom clips of the front face plate and press in the top part and boom. Hope this comment helps at least one person having trouble with reassembling. Because ik I had a hell of a time.
Helped me! Much easier, thank you.
Thank you, when I opened the disc drive something fell out and now it's better
Glad it helped!
Mine dont work it stop reading disc i took it apart n now i need one where to get one
I want that t-shirt
For real tho 😂👌
@@levigeorge9268 I think it's brilliant 👍
🤣🤣🤣 me too ✋
Thanks for the video Steve! Are use the first portion to open up my console I was working on cleaning up before reselling (:
Fantastic! I always see your videos nowaday, but you make me see perfectly how to close my son's console 7 years ago, while I was only insulting the gods old and new 😅🤣 Thanks!
He I found young Steve 😂 just going back over your old videos
I'm new to it channel and this info and videos are very helpful and interesting.. thank you very much
Your link for the replacement part is for the whole drive. Is the average Joe able to buy just that particular part you had? Curious what the price difference is between that specific part and the entire drive? Thanks for the great videos!
great t-shirt and great job!
When I put a disc in my Xbox, it makes the sound that it’s supposed to while the disc is going in, but it keeps making that noise for a second or two longer than it needs to and then it doesn’t even read it
Sup Steve it's me again just found a different video actually helping with my problems thanks anyways
I've got this same exact Xbox one with a disc read problem. Gonna try this out, seems easy enough.
Thnx you helped a lot!
Thank god I found this I needed the last bit for the top cause I had gotten one from a client to clean and I’ve never had to clean one and the entire top is a pain to get on
You are the best man. Very intelligent.
My dogs dragged my xbox 1 to the floor and now it's not reading dics. I found that same plastic piece and my disc driver is doing the same thing. Thank you so much! I should be back in business in no time
You're welcome!
Awesome. worked great, xbox is fixed now. thanks
Soldered board from my drive to a donor drive and it works like a charm now. Just unsure of why my rails are catching on the old one?? Would love to fix it to keep as spare.
Thought something was wrong because I would hit the eject on the new drive I installed and the trey would not eject. It has been so long I had used the disc drive I forgot it did not have a trey. So, ordered a new drive on amazon for $30, pulled the board from the old drive to the new one, 3 screws, 3 ribbons, and a simple solder of 2 wires, put her in, and works great. While I was in there I went ahead and pulled the heat sink off, cleaned it, and the fan up nicely. Removed the old thermal paste and applied some new thermal paste, might as well while you have it open, the old paste was pretty crusty. The Xbox one had a damaged non-working disc drive and the hard drive had just recently failed so it was a non-working Xbox one. I ordered a 1TB SSD to replace the old HDD, also this new disc drive. Installed the Xbox software update via thumb drive and now this old Xbox one is a brand new beast. Once I get all the games installed back on it I will be interested to see how its load times hold up to or surpass those of our Xbox one x. Thanks for the tutorial, I was worried a disc drive replacement would require getting it flashed or something. But just swapping the boards did the trick.
drive succesfully repaired. thank you!
Awesome!
genl0rd where did you purchase your optical drive at?
i did not purchase an exta optical drive. i just cleaned the lense of the drive, included in my second hand xbod. there where parts of potato chips and oil from the previous owner inside. i've cleaned it with a q tip and alcohol
genl0rd o ok. Thanks for the detail. My ex girlfriend broke my madden game put some kind of sticky stuff on the game and forced the broken game into the tray. It still works and but it makes noises trying to read the disc and everytime I take a game out it has that sticky stuff on it from the previous game she forced in my xbox
Awesome tutorial! Back to wasting my life on C.O.D. again!!
Cod wont load for me did that work for you?
Humble beginnings! ❤
Great video! What do you do if the drive board is toast?
Thanks for the video, successfully retrieved a sticker out of the drive that came off a second hand game.
No lie was never a diy guy, but this tutorial worked great!
Glad it worked for you!
ok so i am pretty savvy when it comes to this stuff . So o was having a disk read error would read some but not others reads dvd has issues with blu ray but plays sometimes. i replaced the laser as above bo issues together easy etc. now same thing happened. would the whole drive remedy this issue? if i just switched the board as u had said before they are tagged to the board like the 360. let me know please thanks.
Keep in mind to make sure all ribbon cables are fully seated and locked into place. It any of them are loose there will be power issues S it won't run right. I just replaced the BR disc tray and didn't have the front power and eject ribbon cable fully seated which made the Xbox randomly turn on and off. It's quite annoying. After I replaced the disc drive it's like a brand new Xbox. Highly recommend doing thi yourself rather than sending it into Microsoft. Even more so if the Xbox is out of warranty and it doesn't matter if you break the seal or not.
Thanks to your video I fixed an Xbox One that I got at a pawn shop for $50
Do you have a HDD version of this please? for the OG xbox one.
Great video! Maybe you are the tech guru that can help me diagnose my One? I didnt use it for months, now it just wont turn on. I bought a brand new brick, no change. When you push the on button, it makes its "turning on" noise, and the immediately is off. No Green screen, orange light on brick,... any suggestions?
Please help!
The link no longer has the optical drive available. Is there another you can provide?
Ive had it apart twice and got it to work long enough to install a 2 disc game, but it didnt work after putting it back in the drive case. Seeing as I dont know what to look for its just luck when a disc reads. I think its the laser as it doesnt seem to light up, just spins the disc twice moves a little back then to the middle and does no more.
Not sure if I need a new laser or deck or entire drive, but Id prefer not to solder anything if I dont have to.
Thanks for the video, appreciate the help.
Great video! I was wondering if the replacement laser link in the description will work for an Xbox one S disk drive?
Hi, im in desperate need of help! My Xbox one has a problem where something in the disc drive is chipping the breaking the bottom of the disc!! The little rings on the discs has cracks and Breaks and i really need to fix this!! It also makes an a awful 'RRR' Noise whenever i put a disc in. Please help!!!!
NoobityHQ I think ull need a new Xbox Cheack online or where u got ur Xbox to see about a fix or to see if th eyes no what's wrong u can also send ur Xbox away to somewhere to get it fixed Cheack online hope this helps in time
Wondering if you have a come across an xbox one optical drive power connector repair on the main motherboard. I think there must be a capacitor or resistor that's causing the connector to not recieve any voltage. Any help would be much appreciated.
Just pulled mine apart cleaned the laser and theres no errors nothing just doesnt even acknowledge theres a disc.... they should have never went with internal drives....
roller might be dirty. that back bar near the front of the drive.
if its not internal were would u put it u mean like the hd dvd for the the xb360?
Same problem here on two different drives. I moved the daughter board to a new drive and the new drive still won't read / recognize any discs. I think they bricked my daughter board.
I can see, now, with my camera zoomed way in that my daughter board's surface mount voltage regulator is burnt out.
I'm not good at removing or adding surface mount components. Without that Voltage regulator my daughter board is trash. Without the daughter board, the Blu Ray drive is trash. I really hate Microsoft's implementation of this. It's terrible.
Never should went with an internal drive? You mean like EVERY single console EVER that came with a disc drive.
What a dumb comment.
Hi great video, and it was successful and I used to change the whole drive but now Im having an error code and it says 'there is a problem with the disc dirve" so it wont read the disc, What do I do now?
thanks man just fixed mine.
Glad this helped!
Thank you sir 👍
Does that laser part work for all xbox ones? Or do you need specific laser part?
my xboxone doesnt even acknowledge there is a disc no error code no nothing
It may need a new laser or entire disc drive.
Ben heck Xbox one
Mine only does it for new games.
mine works if i inject game cd tilting the Xbox a certain way a bit.....lol...it that a laser issue...thing is I can tilt it back after detected and it's fine
BAD LASER, USUALLY
Just replaced my disk drive! Disc will go in slot and it seems to read but nothing appears saying the game is being installed. Could the laser be dirty?
Lmao when you pull the clips out they just pull out for the YT tutorials but I just had to RIP mine apart
This video is gonna help me alot. Just bought a 70 USD Xbox One that has a broken disc drive on it. This is probably the problem it has.
Hi I just bought an Xbox like you did but I didn't spend $70 for it I only spent 40 but it has the exact same problem how much was the part cost to repair it
I have one question, so I have the same exact model of Xbox one you have shown in your video. Even down to the advanced warfare collectors edition. However, when I boot it up, it seems to have a different screen compared to yours, did they make a refurbished variant?
Another question is, where can you order new disc drives for the Xbox one?
Ebay. And they probably did an update since this video which is why it looks different
May I ask how to get the screw out off the green motherboard please as it's got metal around the screw
Thank you so much
I have a issue were my Halo 5 disc, reads as install, I hit ok. Then it comes up as a error code "This xbox360 game is not backwards compatible." Mind you the game all 97g is installed on a 4tb external drive. I also picked up Alien Isolation. That is taking forever to install. Two hours so far for 2g out of 23g.
All other games that are installed work with no issues. Movies work with no issues.
Any thoughts? Or is the laser shot?
I know this is a 3 year old video. My same xbox started doing a "whirling" sound when playing any disc. Could i have the same possible problem? That way, i can ordered the same part.
Thank u so much man Somebody put a quarter in the disc drive lol
Did you ever find out what that white plastic piece was, i have the same in mine, but was stuck to the top plate when it was removed. Couldn’t find anywhere for it.
quick question, is there a way to fix the external hard drive 4Tb, my xbox cant read it and the light on the drive does not light up but it feels like the motor inside is working
14:19 "screwdriver" no offence Tronics. Your videos are pretty good
I have an xbox one that wont take or read the disc, currently wont eject even with the manual eject(disc stuck when I was testing it), what will I need to fix it?
My drive (from Xbox One S) works fine except the sliding bar that pushes the slot closed and activated the disc won’t fully pass through the gear assembly. If you gently pull or push on one of the plastic sliding tabs and “help” it along it works. But obviously can’t do that all the time. Any ideas?
I have that Xbox one edition and everything works I think but during one of the updates I think finished the whole screen when black and said system error E204 but I already set the Xbox up before so I went to turn it off then went into the settings and reset the console to factory defaults then I set it up again then it updated and it had no problems it work but what does that mean would it still have a system error I fix it myself with out even taking apart but I don't know if anything happens to do you know why it would say that error tronics fix?
The laser ribbon is damaged on the one I'm fixing. Is it possible to get just that alone?
Where do I find original DG-6M5S-01B Disc drive? Ordered one online and it was clicking and smoked. I have tried contacting Philips-Liteon but cant tract them down. Do you have one I can buy? Thank you
HEY STEVE,GOOD VIDEO, OK IF I USE MY HAMMER! LOL
my xb1 will only sometimes read disks. seems to RARELY work. would a replacement disc drive be my best fix?
Mine dont detect cds and games when a cd goes in the driver there is a strange noise for a second than there is no noise at all (cd doesn't spin)
Where did you guys get the replacement laser/spinner piece? I would like to purchase one. Thanks for the video, very helpful.
It's linked in the description.
Thanks, I guess I missed it because I didn't click "show more." Great video, thank you so much. Mine won't spin discs and it seems that replacing the laser carrier piece you did in this video is the fix I need on mine. I will give it a shot and if it doesn't work you should be receiving my XB1 in the mail soon! Thank you again.
**Edit: I checked the link for the laser, it looked in the video like the laser was attached to another panel that had the carrier and ribbon cables and other stuff on it. I think my problem is the spinner motor itself, would you happen to have a link for that?
Gotcha...I don't know of anywhere that sells them with the carrier. You may end up having to just replace the drive or send it to us for repairs.
How long would you guys think it would take from Oklahoma City? I read another commenter who said they got a 1 week turnaround? Kinda don't want to be without my XB1 for a long time if possible?
That depends on how quickly you ship it here and which repair speed you choose at checkout. We offer a one business day repair + 4-5 days for return shipping or you can pay to have it shipped faster. You can choose that at checkout.
Are they security drive screws or TORX screws???
This is EXACTLY what's happening with mine! The SAME little white plastic part broke off. Could you point me to where I could buy that replacement part? I would love to have you guys repair it but as I'm located pretty far from you that's out of the equation ;) Would extremely appreciate any tips on where to acquire the part. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
+returnofthesoftstyle Which replacement part do you need? We can sell you the laser + carrier if that's what you need. You can contact us on our website: www.tronicsfix.com/contact.html
I disconnected my ribbon just to clean my fan. I connected the ribbon back and i didn’t know if it were the right way around. Now the touch sensor for off and on and disc inject or eject doesn’t work
is there to re mate an xbox one blue ray drive i got one but some one swaped drive and its got a mismatched blue ray drive
So i replaced my hardware and did swap the mother bored from the reader and it eats and spits out discs but still no reading going on any tips?
Where can I get the lens plus carrier like you used. My daughter decided to jam three discs in at once (yes they fit, sorta). Its making a horrible clicking/grinding noise now. I would assume a gear or something is broken but all I can find online is just the laser part. I don't feel comfortable replacing the whole drive if soldering is involved.
You should be able to find them on Ebay, Amazon, etc. You can always send it in if you need to: www.tronicsfix.com/store/p47/Xbox_One_Disc_Drive_Repair.html
Well I do want to say thank you, I was able to find the part on ebay and using your video able to pull it apart. (At which point I found out in addition to the three games I pulled out there was a fourth loaded in the drive plus two pennies :( ) I was able to get it back together and it powers on and everything works fine so at least I didn't make it worse. However on first boot everything was very quiet but when I first tried to load a disc it would not grab it at all. I finally gave it a little more pressure then I would normally and it finally grabbed it. I tired ejecting it immediately which it does do but it does get hung up a bit. I tired inserting it again and this time it worked normally, however the ejecting still hangs like its struggling or something. Once the disc is in its still making noise (almost different each time) sometimes whirling, sometimes humming sometimes grinding and unfortunately it still failing to read any discs. As far as I can tell I did everything right so I don't think it's the carriage/lens assembly. I'm assuming something else in the drive must also be broken, thinking I may be sending it you guys to get a new drive installed. Two questions will the xbox run without a drive installed at all? (I'm guessing no) 2. Since at this point I know how to disassemble everything would it save me any money to just send you guys the drive to re-solder the old board to the new drive and send me back the new drive?
1) I'm not sure if it would run without the disc drive.
2) We only do the full repair. We don't do partial repairs...sorry about that.
Just picked up a used xbox and its not reading discs. Is there a way to test to see if it is infact a bad laser?
My xbox one need force to insert disk inside amd it keep doing soumd when thr is no disk is it possible to fix the ejection problem?
Where did you get your parts from as I want to fix my Xbox one but don’t trust buying the parts off eBay lol
I just sent my xbox to you... Can't wait to get her back
Thanks for your order! We'll get her back to you asap!
Just had a go at my sons , a disc wouldn't eject then wouldn't go all the way in . Took it apart, cleaned the drive out and seems to be working now . At least I know I can replace the disc player for about £25 if I have to
