Xbox 360 Grinding Noise

[dogsk8r]

Put your 360 flat on the ground. The noise is your disk on the side of the cd drive

[gugligup]

happened to me last week with my new elite i tapped it ab bit strong (accidently) i think its the disk that is humping around a bit or something touching the fans???, just take the game out and make sure the games are inside the nodge when you put them in, well thats how i solved it

[Ahhmeansyes]

Put 3 or more CD time maybe it will help, or put nails or screws in the disc driver, maybe it will help to stop the noise at the same time........breaking your shitbox hahahhahahahhahaa

[balboa183]

Damn that noise would scare the shit out of me if it happened to my 360.Yet the noise kind of sounds like if I'm at a barber shop.

[petersavonich123]

so without a warranty or anything? good cuz i broke my ass doing extremeely hard manual labor for three months and i had loans and crud (only 14). I couldnt afford the warranty

[moljinerdude]

how long did u have it when it started doing that?

[vultrex93]

mine does the same thing and i played halo 3 for like 2 to 3 hours and i opened it and there was that damn perfect cirle scratching shit so im buying a new disk drive and installing that i never could fix it so yea it sucks!

[ryan8852]

my halo 3 did the exact same thing =( sometimes its cause the xbox is slanted or there is something where you insert the disk just either make sure your xbox is straight, put it horizontal if it is and the noise still happens and finally check if there is anything on the disk or the plastic part.

[lildonut206]

what the fuck!!

[jonoholmes92]

ouch mine wasn't tht bad damn it sounds as if its ripping itself apart lol

[Bruiden]

It's crying! Can't you hear the baby inside it? I think the baby's sad. Give it some milk!

[es540kickflip]

same thing happened to my friends. he says he thinks is a gear thats loose or something

[tabletop45]

i like the messaging about ur armor lol.

[Irshizzle]

lol that happened to me so i call microsoft and played them the noise so they could hear it (they didn't believe when I told them - bastards). luckily, they replaced it for free =D

[elmo4777]

lol ur disc is a gonner

[ScreamingMud100101]

we recently got the halo3 edtion xbox360 and does the same thing although we i picked it up earlier i noticed something was loose inside of it i don't believe it was dropped but i don't trust best buy holding stuff

[masterdynamite]

yea it was probably dropped

[TurdFerguson98]

I actually noticed that mine is way less noisy when I play other 360 games (usually with Halo 3 it's crazy loud and the drive revs). The disc has become pretty scratched because I bought that horrible metal cased edition so that might be the problem. Not sure if you got the same but disc quality could be the issue.

[honorguy]

dude 1 ur xbox aint horizontal and then microsoft refuses to repair! 2 this happend to me 6 friggin times! they have send me 4 diffrent console's and its still worse i asked my money back and bought a ps3

[masterdynamite]

yea actually i do put my 360 horizontally, and ive stopped doing that ever since the noise.

then it got the red rings of death and yea

i shipped it in.

[slampo]

this started happening to me 3 days ago, i dont know what to do!!!!

[InfantryofWar21]

SO HILARIOUS this has been added to my favorites!

[InfantryofWar21]

HAHAHAHAH THAT IS THE FUNNIEST VIDEO!

that is a fucking terrible noise!

[kdn]

I have the exact noise, my replacment console started doing this 2 weeks after I got it..going to call ms before my warranty expires.. I just hate the wait time, good luck with this. :[

[XBLACKYCHANX]

1-800-4MYXBOX call that microsoft will send you a prepaid shipping box to send it off in =]

[soadfan2269]

mine does that all the time now too, im gonna hav microsoft fix it send them a email

[colocolo2k6]

actually mines went away for a while also but it came back..I call MS and they are sending me a box so they can repair it..I had to put the phone on the 360 so they could believe me...I would call if I were u.

[colocolo2k6]

I have the same fucking problem that's why I started searching on Youtube for some one that had it...what can we do?

[masterdynamite]

well its been about two weeks, and for some reason my 360 has not made the noise.

like when i turn off my 360, it makes a little bit of the sound but other than that, the sound is gone. im happy though.

a lot of people say its some magnet on top of the dvd drive, that got displaced, and vibrates. iono though just wait it out.

[DarkRave24]

Sounds like something's loose in your drive. Is the game scratched?

[masterdynamite]

theres no evidence of scratching

[DarkRave24]

Then your drive must be fucked up. Call Microsoft, in the US 1-800-469-9269.

[masterdynamite]

i figured out its some magnet on the dvd drive that became loose.
