  • What's the name of the song?

    Oh and thanks for the help

  • 4:40 skip un-needed part

  • @sgtPhoenix53 Did you switch out the logic boards? When you replace your drive, you have to make sure you put the logic board from your old drive into the new or you will get play DVD errors and such. This should be your problem.

  • Hey, I just replaced my big brothers Xbox 360 disk reader that didn't read any Disk.

    Still got the same problem. I did this before I watched this video just so you know.

    what happens is.. *Old reader- place CD in. Just says Play game, no info or option to intsall to HD. I press A to launch the game. goes to black screen for 5 seconds then goes back to the Dashboard.

    So I open it up.. place a new CD reader in. with new CD reader cables (Just to be sure) and try it again. Still the same problem..

  • @sgtPhoenix53 Got any idea why this is going on?

  • dont go to game america in las vegas... they dont do shit.... and there nasty to there customers

  • i payed a guy to fix my lazer game reader thing, and it still dosent work. i cant fix it myself. but now im PO because i payed to have this guy hold on and play my xbox for a week.

  • didnt work :/ gutted

    and im NOT saying its your fault im informing the public its not 100% going to work

    :)

  • to take out the disc drive is it any different from xbox 360 slim cause i got a slim and i took out all 4 phillip screws it wont open when i pull it apart because of the because the disc tray is in the way

  • no top comment eh?THIS IS SPARTA!*kicks guy off a cliff*

  • @robloxperson100 You try to hard.

  • i have the play dvd error and i cleaned the laser and everything idk wat i should do does anybody no wat to do?

  • @yovanny15 replace the dvd drive completely, or buy a new xbox.

  • Ok but what if my lens is dirty how would I clean it?

  • Thanks alot man, my system wouldnt read games and your guide helped me get to the lens problem free. Informative and good camera angles.

  • you just fixed my kids xbox this video you fucken rock dude thank you so much

  • u still need it to read discs even if they're installed

  • If you want to play a game just install it into the hard drive and then you should be able to play it with no problems.

  • After this Xbox 360 get's the "Ring of death" (which I'm shure it will) I'm going to get a PS3 since it dos'nt generate as many problems as this Xbox 360 does.

  • What is the name of the tool you use to take xbox apart?

  • i take it apart with toothpicks and a t-8 and t-10 screwdriver

  • You can but its not as easy

  • @kevinjsand Thank you for the post. I'll give this a try and I'll hope for the best.

  • Nice vid man, i have a question is it easy to take apart the xbox 360 without a 360 toolsset ? like will i be able to do with household things

  • what screw driver head do you need to unscrew the silver part

  • do you buy broken consoles and fix them i got two for sale an elite with disc tray error and a halo3 xbox360 with rrod both come with all like new 1s execpet the elite has a custom 20gig hd

  • Hey what if we could use a air compressor that could somehow blow the dust out of the laser's way?

  • i moved over the disk drive laser so mine could work and read. i check to see if it work and yea it did. i closed it back up and now it wont work so idk it was working after i moved it

  • If I had a disc drive that wasn't identical to my original would that cause the play DVD error to come up? Or is it just a problem with dust still?

  • @KILR4mercs You need to hav the exact disc drive and model number if it completly fried. Just open it up look at the model and maker of the drive then search it on Ebay and you will find it. Mine was only 30 USD. All of them cost about 30 USD.

  • @joshposh1084 I ended up finding the dvd drive I needed, it's about 40 bucks. Thanks though I really appreciate it.

  • Thanx dawg u helped us a lot man thanx again keep making the fixer upper vids

  • ive done this and it still reads me games as dvds

  • @harryr7777777 Then you need to replace the whole drive.

  • ive done this and it still reads me games as dvds

  • When your Xbox is broken you should utilize this great site.

    XBOX360FIXGUIDE.TK

    They've got some good tips that truly work.

  • i love you like if i was a chick we'd definitely be getting married

  • can u just replace the disk drive

  • @kevster7589 You can but this is cheaper. Although the new disc drive only costs 30 Dollars.

  • k my xbox is NOT reading discs i turn on my xbox open the tray put in game it says reading as its doing that thou it makes a phone viberator noise then says open tray again is there a way WITHOUT taking apart my xbox 360 ( oh and its a pro ) i've had it for like 2 years i think with NO problems what so ever so if someone could pleeeeaasee get back to me as soon as they can

    thanks.

  • Nice vid, will have to try this sometime soon.

    BUT!!

    And easy and cost effective way without buying a tool kit is...

    a very large sewing needle

    and

    a few screw heads (star, flat and cross)

  • my 360 will read the disc for awhile but then go and say disc unreadable after a half hour. I cleaned off the laser a few times i'll give it another go though

  • dont listen to this do the following:

    1. take out disk drive

    2. take apart disk drive

    3. clean laser lense with alchohaul and swap

    4. move laser 3/4 inch away from motor

    5. put together

    6. fixed

  • idk but all my games r getting huge ring scratches around the disc.Idk y but they wont get read plz help

  • @mrMusicace hahahaha very bad English but i can understand you . if you have a ring around your disks that is you moving your xbox 360 when it is on with a game in it . so dont move your xbox when it is on .if u want them to be fixed you will have to buy a new one sorry

  • I build computers for my course in college too and i can't fault the way he's just done it in this video... what more could you want from an expired warranty console and a cheap solution to fix it... 5 stars

  • NO i dont get that error.. Can someone help me? i go to sign in on my xbox and it goes "some xbox live whatever crap is currently unavailable" and i say fuck you and continue. and my xbox says open tray. so i do then close it, it does it NON stop, its a brand new 360 elite i got like 9 months ago. and i've tried to just open tray, close tray. for..well the longest i've tried was about an hour and 10 minutes, and it wouldnt work. and its pissing me off.

  • how do you get "the tool"

  • Dude you are acctually the best person on youtube i am getting all my friends to subscribe aswell i spent 2 weeks trying to fix my xbox and you showed me how xD

  • i ripped that bitch off without a tool. i thought i was going to break it

  • just wait it out it! let it cool down and settle!!!!

  • @watersoaked94 Some one told me the towel trick works for original xbox to make it work that's not true is it

  • cool,thanks for sharing :)

  • Cant you easily put it back together?

  • I've just fixed this problem on my girlfriends xbox by unpluging all leads then very gently turning the consol upside down then end to end,put it back in place and putting the disc back in while the consol is loading, hope it works for you all too

  • Cant take off the black cable at the back of the disc drive! Help me someone.

  • mine is not reading the games just the cds and dvds will this work for mine?

  • my xbox can play movies but when i put in a game it makes weird noises then a notice comes up can someone help me please

  • @folkren12 try clearing ur system cache on ur console. go to my xbox then system setings then memory (select ur storage device if needs be) press Y and the select clearr system cache

  • when i tryed to open mine without the tool i tryed for over a hour and then snapped the piece of shit! i got it now lol

  • if you needed a screw driver to unsnap the front of xbox thens theres something wrong with you, and you dont need that (special tool) to remove the casing just a precision screwdriver thats all, lol in the time you took to remove the casing i would had the casing dvd drive xclamps ect ect allready taken out.

  • That's exactly how its done! but the sad part to my story is for two reasons. 1) My parents don't trust me to open mine (too bad for them i take most of it apart while their gone). 2) I can't find most of the goddamn tools because my stepdad is a mechanic and godforbid should i swim through the garage's tool "ocean" just to find the proper tool. Once he "teaches" me how to open it I will do whatever i can to fix it and i have high hopes of the outcome of your method. thanks for making this video

  • @dillonsedlak you sound like a child.

    If you don't like how i fixed it then don't follow the guide, but you don't have to call me a bitch.

    besides I bet you haven't my watched video on replacing the faulty drive (The proper way to fix this beast)

    this video is only for those who have no warranty, and are on a budget so replacing the drive, or the xbox is not an option.

  • @dillonsedlak dang to think you were older than him would lead me to believe that you would know how to behave as an adult. you actually called him a bitch? haha your hilariuos! watsamatayou? huh jealous your paying 4 college and he just school'd you? oh wait i know your a "teacher" n thats y you called him a bitch huh? haha you funny yo

  • @dillonsedlak  what are you like 12 years old? i saw your profile pic.kid.

  • @dillonsedlak What a big man you are, Let me buy you a pack of gum and i'll show you how to chew it.

  • @dillonsedlak wow you're a retard Cisco does NOT make computers they make routers switchs and used for servers. you do not build a server with cisco mother board is not cisco hdd not cisco... u fail study more.

  • @dillonsedlak Cisco is a company and CCNA is a networking certification not a computer building class, you sound like a moron... besides, that certification is some year-one stuff, I wouldnt be bragging about it.

  • "tHIS cAN bE nEAR iMPOSSIVLEwITH oUT a tOOL"  Ummmmm I Always Open It With A Knife....

  • @gus051 I bet it looks like you opened it with a knife too, but when I'm done you can't tell from the outside that I even had it apart.

  • @kevinjsand Not At All It Looks Brand New

  • @kevinjsand i dont really look at my xbox when i play

  • @toomic Thanks :D

  • @dillonsedlak Wow you got a big mouth for a little boy.

    maybe you should have your daddy help you?

  • @kevinjsand well it helped me. and most of the parts he left out were because you just need a brain to figure them out. LOL

  • @gavinoslund I'm glad it helped you. I feel sorry for the people that can't do this.

    Your right when I made this video I thought "If they cant figure out how to do it from this video they shouldn't be working on their 360's" so I just laugh and let em whine...

  • @kevinjsand yeah. hahaha. thanks for helping me. I love how with an xbox, when it doesnt read or something happens to it, do the thing that doesnt seem right and it will temporarily fix the problem. when it cant read discs, shove a peice of paper in the disc drive. when the disc tray doesnt open, punch the disc drive as ahrd as possible. hahahaha

  • @kevinjsand Hi i wanted to say thanks so much for the vid it will help me a lot and i was punching the xbox but naw ill just clean the lazer lol thanks so much u have saved people a lot of money and a week wait for micro soft to fix thanks

  • dude, if your xbox wont read the disk all you have to do is open and close the disk tray a few times until it resets, this happend to me this morning and every thing on the internet told me to take my xbox apart, but i just opened and closed it about 10-15 times and the bad sounds stopped and the xbox made its normal sounds again

  • i wish my xbox would read a disc =(

  • Oh snap! Lol who cares about his big hands he just fixed a 360! And amen to that Kevin is this economy you can't really afford anything so this vid helps out alot yo thanks.

  • no offence but if xbox was a beast u would need to fix it

  • What?

  • FYI I only own a PS3 now. I got tired of fixing this damn Xbox

  • got that right ive been through two since 2008 i really wish the xbox 360 (console) was more like the ps3s but with the same exclusive games and great multiplayer! im only 14 so i need to stick with my xbox to actually enjoy my gaming self :(

  • does it work when it says reading then it says opentray does it work 4 that 2

  • when i put a disk in mine you can see and here the laser adjust and then it will spin for a second or two and then stops and says open tray like nothing is in it...

  • Yeah me 2.

  • @dabomb6608 yeah mine too! peice of shit

  • when i close mine you can here(and see when its apart) the laser jerk alittle kinda like setin itself and then it spins for about a second and then it stops and it says open tray like there is nothing in it?

  • you have fat fingers haha

  • @McNubblez so...?

  • this was made on my bday sep. 25

  • can u not just use a laser cleaning disc???

  • According to Microsoft you can destroy your laser by using the DVD lens cleaner disks.

    all that I am doing here is being more gentle with the laser than those disks are being.

  • i can not open it from back could u more explain

  • 10 secs after i put disc in it says open tray. no noise or anything, if anyone can help plz message me

  • @ilikepie9932 what u could do is beat right above the disk thts what i did. but it only worked for about a month

  • My xbox takes in the disk and powers up and down so you have to put in the disk then smash the xbox with BRUTE FORCE >=] I rang up scamsoft and they wanted £98 to fix their problem?!?! Instead I am buying a new elite with forza, an the black entertainment pack

  • my xbox reads the disc but i go to load up a level or map and it sends me to the dashbord and sez disc unreadable i got a brand new halo 3 odst and tryd and it did the same thing. HELP!!!!

  • oolala  touch my tullulong

  • what if its making a clicking noise?

  • I have the same problem...as in I get the same screen with my xbox and i was wondering if the problem is always the disc drive? is it possible there is a mobo problem that is causing this?

  • Nope but it sounds like your magnet could be hung up or if its really quiet it could be your laser failing

  • how would u fix the magnet hung up problem? cuzi put my halo 2 in and it just makes a ticking sound, until it says open tray too...its only with some games

  • Thanks for going out of your way to post a guide for us! :)

  • weird song

  • you dont need that tool that he has to open the back, i used a plastic fork i used the teeth and it worked lol

  • thx man thx alot dude it works 10000000/100000000

  • You don't need that tool or 6 hands to open I can open it in 2 mineith a t10 torx and a Phillips swrew driver

  • does this also fix that when i put a game in it says reading...and the just open tray like there is no game at all in the console?

  • prolly, its basically the same thing, if i cant read there being a disk there it will say open tray

  • i used butter knives

  • i have the halo3 edition and the rubberband broke on tha disc tray so i removed it and put my disc tray from my other xbox in and now its reading all my games as dvd's...is that because what you showed us in this video is dirty? whats wrong with this thing?

  • thats because the drive is not for that Xbox he drives are all locked to the xbox they came in

  • damn dat sucks..so i need a whole new console....well thank you

  • YES SIR THIS IS AMERICA!!!

  • is there another way to take those screws off?

  • if your lucky you can find a slot screwdriver that might sort of fit good enough to remove them but good luck with out the torx bit you really need it to do it right.

  • lol, i just used brute force to take the shell off of mine :)

  • good luck with those screws

  • xbox 360 reads game as dvd help

  • For

    1. That tool sucks and is a Waste of money.

    2. It is easier to remove Drive Power and Data Cables from Board.

    3. Don't open your case if you have a warranty or have never done it.

    4. The Drive magnet is only a problem when it will not let the disk drive come out.

    But good Video. I shall be Posting some xbox vids soon.

  • is this video for the open tray error

  • what about if instead of a disk error it will just go "reading" when u put the disk in and then go "open tray" again insted of playing the disk?

  • yeah i was wondering the same thing to that's wat happened to my 360

  • that's what mine is doing.. did you ever find a way to fix it? im still strugglin

  • I got the Open Tray error like 15 times, first 10 times I fixed it within the first 10 mins the next 4 up to 2 hours and the last one it just didnt fucking fix..I opened it, the dvd drive's magnet hole was sealed, I lost my warranty and its still not fixed...

  • @hahaha12345678901234 you have to remove the sticker off the top of the drive you can get to the mag from there.
