  • yes your the fuckin man

  • i have skyrim it workedd fine until this morning i woke up and the system kept on saying clean the disc with a soft cloth and restart the console i then went with my dad to walmart to exchange it for another copy (we didnt have receipt so it was hard) we got a new copy and it still did the same thing it always does it when i hit continue :( i have cried so much that i cant play the game i love if anyone has tips please HELP

  • @mightymouse137 I have skyrim on xbox too, but it's not the disk problem its the fucking xbox my friend, i can play it eventually if im half an hour tapping the open button then closing it, i know when it works though which is weird, because when I hear it its like a low "Bzargh tut dud" and i know it wont work but if its like a loud *Tishhhh then keeps going it plays" I know this sounds completly ridiculous but maybe it may work for yours the xbox is such a Bitch :P

  • @TheBigBanDayZan What i did was i went to storage and transferd my latest skyrim save and i put that in the new cloud storage hardrive and when i go to play skyrim i have to select the cloud storage device but it works maybe itll work for u :).

  • thumbs up just for the heck of it

  • @Waitingforagoodguy were u from ?

  • For what it cost for polish and foam you could buy a laser on amazon for $7.50 and fix it right

  • lol notice the little white string at the left at the end of the video. hee ;)

  • oh my cotton buds! (drool)

  • I found this video when my dvd player started messing up. I have yet to see if cleaning the glass reader will make it work. I have no clue what it's called, but I have played this video over and over just to listen to this guy's voice, his accent is so hot! Oh my god! " The price of a new dvd is just "too dear" Oh that melts my heart! He sounds adorable! :)=3<;

  • To fix disc drive not opening just change the tuber band out on the front wheels works the best don't clean off the oil.

  • @letcia1dj hey I did that just out of common sense and it made the door start opening again. I just looked at my ceiling fan and it is covered with dust lol so I imagine I have tons inside my dvd player. LOL but, seriously your idea worked on the drive problem! thanx

  • i wouldnt advise trying this

  • WEBTUBE

    

  • It would be far more convenient for Microsoft to simply make something that works...

  • That "crud" is oil its supposed to be there

  • This is what Neil Treble is going to sound like when he's older.

  • thanks man much apreciated it worked perfectly :) ty mate

  • webtube.....LOL

  • That same kinda stuff happened to mine, where it took a few tries, now it doesnt play anything at all. "/ gutted.

  • so, i moved the tray that the lens sits on. (the tray thats on the two rails) and i moved it kinda far back.....is that an issue that i moved it back? Because i didnt move it back to its original position, and before it would only take 2-3 trys to play the game, but now not a single game works no matter how many tries. PLEASE help!!!!!! someone............anyone.

  • Mate u saved my life, if only i found this vid b4 i sold my pvr, but thanks alot i can play games agen :)

  • i tride that but it didnt work

  • i have to give mine a slight tap when it makes the second noise when the disc is first reading...any ideas? i think i may have removed some grease from the laser track when i cleaned it

  • My Xbox360 always wanted to be a DVD player not a game console so that's what he's doing, can't you be both? Yes? :D if not the raccoons in the garbage they gonna have movie nights, the neighbors already throw an old tv n some crappy DVDs ^^

  • Anyone stupid enough to try this? Yes? Thought so :P

    Obviously if you put something like this liquid + static from foam is gonna to more harm than good.

  • man that was the best fix for me. saved me alot of cash. woo hoo. thanks so much.

  • that was funny when you said redtube instead of youtube

  • @360MaN191 LOL

  • @360MaN191 when they he say that?? hahha

  • Didn't work for me :(

  • so.... for cheap people like me can you do this with uh.... clean cloth or towel

  • put ur xbox landscap,put disc in and keep tapping the top of ur xbox until ur disc works

  • that did nt help a bit

  • My Xbox is funny. I doesn't read games but it reads movies and music CDs flawlessly. Hope this works.

  • Thanks this makes sense.

  • This is the fastest way how you do it.

    Bang on Xbox a few times when you put the disc in

  • easiest way.... take our your hard drive. insert your game. it should read it. then put your hard drive back in. works EVERY time for me.

  • Thank you! I'm glad I didn't shell over a 100 bucks to Microsoft to fix this! This WORKS!!!

  • this is how you fix ALL the problems for the 360, BUY A PS3 or PLAY ON YOUR PC!

  • my xbox doesnt hardly read any discs, it says open tray or play cd or dvd

  • This Article here tells clearly how to repair your Xbox.

    XBOX360FIXGUIDE.TK My Pops and I resolved ours implementing it.

  • Thanks Dude!! Excellent assistance for my same problem. Mine was gunked up to. But I put it all back together and tray won't open.... Duh when I reconnected the drive I'd accidently unpluged one of the connections from the motherboard. But once fixed all is working well!! So again Thanks!!

  • or you can just send it to microsoft and if you cant wait hire one until the microsoft one is fixed

  • THIS CAN HARM YOUR XBOX!!!! bad idea.. if it worked thats great.. but watch out because it can harm your xbox! get a memorex CD/DVD OptiDisc I used it on mine and listened to the first (4 i think) tracks and it now works (what i was thinking was.. if it dont run my games.. why would it run THIS?! well it didnt run it.. AT FIRST.. then i started messing with it and BOOM the cd wanted to work.. (luckily) and now im playing black ops! haha thanks anyways.

  • thank you so much

  • ur accent is awesome! haha just sayin.

  • thx it worked!

  • hey man thanks for the tip i have been doing the same thing and getting frusterated with it and you fixed my problem or told me how to now i just need to clean it thanks alot for this video

  • reset the laser move it? or whatever

  • how do i open it without a tork screw cuz i cant afford one

  • @THOMASGODBOUT123 you cant

  • @THOMASGODBOUT123 Torq screw driver is about $1 - $2

  • that grease on the rails is meant to be there you muppet!

  • at 0:18 the lens is on a rail, if the lens is all the way away from under the disc tray, you need to slowly move it back, you'll hear clicking sound as you go but thats fine. My only god damned problem is opening it

  • No offense but when u clean it u sound like the shamwow guy

  • What do i do if when there is no disk in my xbox the trey only opens sometimes. And when there is a disk in there my xbox makes 2 short buzzing sounds and then says open trey. Plz can someone help me :)

  • @sbaruta Yeah Thats What happens to mine anyone got ideas

  • thank you

  • thank u so much i have had a 360 4 2 years w/ a disk read error & my bros 360 just stopped reading games today. i couldn't find the mirror glaze in my small town, so i got the meguiar's plastX cleaner and now i have 2 working xbox's for $10 (including foam pad) instead of paying for a new 360 like the dummies in the comments, we don't care that you're stupid and want to waste your money, just feedback, yes this is a possible cheap fix for disk read errors or non-reading drives. Thanks 4 the vid.

  • can you use acetone to cleane the lens

  • yo i have a problem. when ever i try to install a game it goes to 48% and said disc unreadable??? even though the disc is perfect i tried it with lot of games that arn't even screatched and i tried cleaning them. the funny thing is that they work when i play them but they don't work to install??? how can i fix this

  • I had the same problem and i even went to family video and it still didn't work

  • yo my eye thing wont move when i put a disc in anyway to tell me wats wrong wit it thanks

  • FAKE!!!!!!

  • actully forget that the DVD drive is tied to your xbox, u can't just buy a new one. (Well u can if ya flash it) Which is what im gonna do as I just fuked mine!

  • @gobbybobby2 How do you flash an DVD drive?

  • @gobbybobby2 u shagged ur xbox ?

  • @danny20080 obviously not retard

  • @gobbybobby2 switch the logic board from your current drive to the new one you buy and it should work

  • @gobbybobby2 u have to use the chip from ur original drive in the new drive and then it works

  • i fuckin love u dude my shit wasnt workin i tried everything to and watched this video work fantastic thanks mate cheers

  • I get the problem i put a disk in it says reading then open tray plz help i need help

  • @wowwowwows Could be a Magent issue. Carefully open up yer xbox then take tyhe disk tray out, depending on the type of Disk tray you have there will be a magnet that holds the disk in place that sometimes gets stuck. First try putting a disk in, then tapping the top of the xbox as the disk goes in and keep tapping it till it reads the disk. It may take 3 or 4 trys. If it does read the disk doing this, then its defo a magnet issue.

  • @DaltonNator nope .. its like each hardrive is married to the xbox its in .. u cant

  • @irishdrifter2k9 He said disk tray. and you can buy a replacement drive, as long as it matches the drive you have.

  • save your receit's nigga

  • @DaltonNator Lol.  But knowing microsoft, it might not.

  • My problem is different. I put in Modern Warfare 2 and it say's "Play DVD". Then I put in The orange box game and it says the same thing! Play dvd! and it says i have to put the game in an xbox 360 console! But when i put in an actual dvd movie, it works perfectly! Any help any one?

  • @wstrn606 that's my problem too!!!

  • @wstrn606 That could be a firmware issue. If your out of warrenty you can try flashing the firmware, but this is not easy to do and can result in other complications (like XB live bans)

  • i put in nhl 10 and it said open tray. so i put in dirt 2 and the same thing happened. what is it?

  • This is pissing me off, if i can't fix this when reach comes out then im really gonna get pissed, just look at my name, haloreach333, thats how much i am a geek for this game.

  • i put in my cod game and it said please put in xbox 360 but i put in SR2 and its fine.

  • Haha I agree with you man every game I have works besides my MW2 three of them cant be read and my xbox scratched thrm and I'm done buying them

  • Is it just me, or did Infinity Ward purposelly make MW2 on a really shitty disk so it breaks, and people are forced to buy a new one?

  • I've tried everything to clean MLB2K9, but I can't clean it.

    I've noticed dust on the sides of the discs, but I can't get it out.

    Please help.

  • this happens to me for guitar hero 5 and i just bought it wtf?!?!

  • i had no idea wut u said talk to fast

  • iv already gone through two 360s due to this problem and the rrod its so fucking annoying i swear i might end up switching to a ps2

  • This exact problem happens to me with EVERY game! new and old, its really annoying and this is my xbox's 2nd disk drive, the first kept saying open tray and i managed to fix it for a couple of days but it went right back into the samething, so i replaced it with this one and now all it says it play DVD, and when i put an actual DVD into the system it plays it , wth -.- .. any help with that please?

  • thanks man you saved my butt =] good advice

  • for my xbox 360 it reads the disc's fine, but when i try to play a arcade game that i buy or download a trail game it wont let me play, i get the disc error message, BUT WHY!!? ITS A FUCKING ARCADE GAME!! any help anyone!?!?

  • @204mastermind1 because your cake is a lie

  • i have the same problem its just wit mw2

    

  • thats because ur lens that reads the cd is dirty i had the problem to make it clean and there u go

  • you can always go to a local movie rental store and they usually have expensive buffers they can use to get scratches out. they might charge you a very small fee but it worked for me after my modern warfare 2 cd got scratched by my the lens.

  • me too only my mw2

  • K well my xbox reads every thing as DVD and I can seem to fix it.

  • his accent makes him sound smart

  • @nneka91 what cos he doesnt speak like u whiny american retards. ye true

  • Man i have been getting this problem.My Xbox360 does not read some of my games.I just put the disc in and nothing happens.One of the disc always says to clean the disc and after 2 or 3 tries it runs the game.I even have to eject the tray and put it back in to run some games.

  • arent you suppose to use micro fibre material ,, once you scratch that lens, ur fkd

  • I love your accent.

  • Of course, the real solutions to this problem is as follows.

    1. Unplug Xbox 360, take to nearest window.

    2. Throw out of window.

    3. Go on internet and buy a PS3.

    I guarantee this will work.

  • @kilburn23 Just as crappy though...

  • I am having problems, I played red dead redemption but about a quarter of the way through the game just has so many glitches i am unable to keep playing, returned the disc twice and got new copies so it rules out the disc, my system is about 7 months old. I also bought a brand new GTA4 but the system doesnt read the disc and keeps saying that the disc in damaged/dirty. Any one have a clue what to do i would really apreciate any help at all. Could it be software of what?

    thank you

  • @anarchyjosh dude Red Dead Redemption is infamous for its glitches its just natural but i dont no about GTA4

  • @supertyler225 yeh i know dude, but i tried 3 different glitches and each one is worse than the previous, i cant even play it now. And no one else seams to have major issues like this:S

  • im having a problem about all my disks not being read,do i need to send it in to microsoft?

  • thx i was about to wast 100$ to send it back to the company

  • My xbox doesn't read games but it does read music CDs WTF Is wrong with my xbox

  • Just go out there, buy a 250gb hdd, install all of your games, e voíla , problem solved!

  • @WarRockDutchPolice if you download u games if u try to play them without the disc it says please insert the (insert game title here) disc

  • @supertyler225

    Yea, but the disk don't have to spin, so less stress on the disk

  • i replaced my disk drive with another 360 disk drive and instead of unreadable disk now it just thinks evrythings a dvd lol. i gotta try this thanks for the video man its worth a shot

  • aww man this video it crappy aww i try it does not work man i did all wa u said lier man

  • shows xbox suk :D

  • @MrKyle080905 there no big a deal with ps3 and xbox they just a system why ppl say xbox and ps3 is better they just a game i got xbox and ps3 idk y but i think boh is better

  • @MrIIRAWR lol i was only jokin i like xbox

  • Hey everybody !!, i fixed myne without opening it, just used a hoover !! and cuck out all the dust , workes fine

  • I'm surprised at how many of you idiots don't know how to use punctuation.

  • when i put a disk in in struggles to read it and even if it manges to start a minute or so in to the games it comes up with unreadable disk any ideas ??

  • Maybe its the disc idiot i had the same thing but guess what I bought a new disc and presto fixed.....fag

  • I'm changing to ps3 because my xbox has had lots of problems like ring of death that got fixed then it was my hard drive and now the disk reader

  • i need help my xbox wont play any of my discs i tried cleaning them nothing worked what should i do

  • Hey, the games I play: COD4 and World at War, nearly always crash as I load up maps on multiplayer. The discs are fine with minimal damage, and are fine when loading up the actual game, they only crash when loading up the multiplayer maps. Is this to do with the laser? If so I'm gonna try cleaning it.

  • why cant you just explain how to do it instead of talking about other shit about it not working ever vid does that i just want a tutorial about how to fix now about what happend to them or someshit

  • Nice one, cheers mate, I will give it a shot and see what happens,

  • Excellent video helped a lot thanks man

  • @eddygboy you're welcome

  • @xbox360problemfix I have the same problem with my MW2 and my other games apart from halo 3. what would you suggest?

  • @xbox360problemfix

    i have the problem xScouseWalshy has, the MW2 disc ONLY. (all other discs/games working fine!)(the MW2 disc has hardly been used, looks imaculate!) really annoying! even when game had been installed to the hard drive!!! tried deleting the install. clearing the cache, removing hard drive, still get the error about cleaning with a soft cloth.

  • I had this problem also on my Benq disc drive, what I did was take it all apart (exactly like in the video) and located two small screws just behind the laser (should be gold screws on a Benq ain't sure about any others) and then I turned them both anti-clockwise a notch (from 12oclock to 11oclock) put it all back together and voila, it worked perfect. Now back to playing Modern Warfare 2 :) Give it a try if all else fails.

  • Everytime I put my MW2 disc in I end up getting an error come up saying "Unreadable Disc"

    "1. Clean it with a soft cloth

    2. Restart the console"

    I have kept cleaning it, nothings working. What would you say I should do?

    Please send me a message to my personal profile on YouTube to make sure I get it. Next time I go offline I might forget about visiting this page again.

  • @xScouseWalshy Is it only for 1 Disc or all the disc have the same issue?

  • @xbox360problemfix mien it all man v.v but ima try ur idea

  • @xbox360problemfix its only for mw2

    I got the same problem.

    my l4d2 works but not mw2.

  • @xbox360problemfix same thing is happening for me, and its all of my diks.

  • @xbox360problemfix i have this problem but only for one game my other games work, what should i do?

  • @xbox360problemfix for me it is only mw2 disc and it makes a clicking noise

  • @xbox360problemfix my mw2 disc is scratched up and only that disk is messing up, how do i fix it?

  • @xScouseWalshy does it have a big circle around the disk if it does that means it has been hit from the thing below the disk tray when the disk tray is close it some times it hits the thing lots of time witch causes the circle around the disk if u dont have a circle then the only thing i could say is get a new game

  • @xScouseWalshy hey im having the same problem like as im writing this lol i just went on youtube to see how i can fix it, yeah i thought it might have been my disc but i tried using my brothers new mw2 disc and it wouldnt read it either so im positive its the disc reader itself im going to try what this guy did it looks like it should work and fix the problem, the xbox 360 is not good at keeping gunk and stuff off itself a year ago i opened it up and fixed the 3 red rings of death and it worked

  • @xScouseWalshy I have the exact same problem with mw2. Do you know how to fix it?

  • @xScouseWalshy lmafoo for mee my xbox only reads mw2 and when i try to play another game it wont work it will say that its unreadable but theni put in saints row 2 in it doesent work lol it reads it as dvds? soo what i did was send in my xbox to microsoft to get it fixed and i got it back yesterday and it works as a charm lol (: now all my games work even saints row 2 : D xDDDD (:
  • @xScouseWalshy ahhaha my did that too i just got it yesterday i put it in it kinda play but it said the same thing over and over this video help

  • Same thing for mine brind new and didn't work!

  • @xScouseWalshy thats why im lookin on here too  mw2 is brand new i just bought it and its "not readable" im pissed

  • @wasneveranoob it may not be your xbox ussually the MW2 discs are defective i have four copies and it dosent read them or it could have been your game case with those holes it has on the back of the case

  • @xScouseWalshy This is exactly what happens to me. I have a perfect Modern Warfare 2 but in the middle of me playing the error comes up saying it cant read my disc. I tried cleaning it and everything, but nothing works.

  • @Ultimate360Gamerz this exactly what happens to me with mw2 to. Does this fix it?

  • @xScouseWalshy thats exactly what happens to me too with MW2 and Assassins Creed

  • @GMMNProductions same with my assassins creed ayy
