Xbox 360 HD DVD drive: Won't read disks at some points

Wed, 06 Nov 2024 03:38:33 -0700

So, a backstory on this. It's my dad's XBox 360, he recently gave to me. It runs a little slow, but perfectly fine. The only issue going on is that when I want to play a certain game, I'll put it in, then it'll just read for a second, then say "open tray" but if I put another game in there, it'll work perfect fine. But the issue isn't that. It's the fact that I can lay it on its side, and it'll start the game, but if I turn it off, it'll do this cycle and it makes me mad so much. If someone could please help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Xbox 360 HD DVD drive: Disk drive failure (?) Xbox 360 phat

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 20:56:45 -0700

In a nutshell, my Xbox will not read discs. It would say “unrecognized disc” no matter what I put in it. Tried cleaning the lens, and adjusting the potentiometer. Didn’t work. Bought a new laser. Didn’t work. Adjusted the potentiometer again. Still didn’t work. Also now, after putting a new laser in, it says “open tray” and doesn’t even attempt to read it. I feel like I’ve gone backwards.

Any tips would be great here.

Xbox 360 HD DVD drive: My Xbox won't turn on

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 13:42:13 -0700

I had my Xbox 360 for a long time but at some point I couldn't get the games to load unless the Xbox was turned on before and kind of get set and ready, then the disks wouldn't read so I was only capable of playing the download games but suddenly it would only let us turn it on but my family and I weren't capable of selecting a player, it would just be on. It's an Xbox Star Wars edition

Xbox 360 HD DVD drive: Why aren’t my fans spinning up?

Sun, 16 Jul 2023 06:18:56 -0700

I recently took apart my old 2008 Xbox to clean it. It works as intended, but soon overheats because fans won’t spin up. I replaced the fans thinking they were damaged but the same issues came up again. I honestly don’t know if they were working or not before I opened it up to clean it. So I’m thinking it’s a fan controller issue or some damage on the motherboard. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@oldturkey03 I think it’s a 2008 model, it’s black and uses the 203 watt power supply.
