  • yo is opening your xbox considered system tampering?

  • recently a lot of games of mine have that disc unreadable error,but some of my games work perfectly well.i want to know this situation is my xbox laser eye dirty or the disc scratched,but like i said,i recently just got this problem,couple month before is all fine(but sometimes,not like now)

  • Ive been buying games brand new and my xbox doesnt read the disks i have to get lucky when i install

  • so your 360 needs to be flashed also

  • why sad music?

  • @jessbelow100 nvm the music change

  • I USED A CAR WAX ON THE DISC. LIGHTLY RUB AND REMOVE THE PASTE LET IT DRY FIRST. IT WORKED FOR ME EVER SINCE BUT ALSO USE A LASER LENS CLEANING DISC.

  • @mbiker7 the car wax maybe, BUT NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER (Did I mention NEVER) use the dvd lens cleaning disk?

    You have to open the console and disk drive, clean the lens with q-tip and rubbing alcohol.

  • @jaydoubleuem Tough one there, if its a relatively new slim, the likelihood of the laser being dirty is not likely. I would clean the disk with a window cleaner, really rub it well with a microfiber towel, there may be something on a section of the disk, it could be very small and interfering with the laser being able to read it. it may even be a fingerprint...let me know...but I would guess its more likely the disk than the console.

  • my game isnt even scratched really it just has a few barely visible scratches and ive gotten it cleaned at the store twice and within two hrs it says it cant read it so idk what to do

  • @Scienceoverreligion I would say to open the disk drive and clean the dvd lens with rubbing alcohol. if that doesn't clear things up i would remove the magnet from the disk drive lid, try the game without the lid, placing the game, then magnet on and starting the machine. one of those two suggestions should get you playing. let me know how it goes, good luck!

  • My only problem is that my game will work but it freezes and everytime I buy a new game it ends up cracked from my 360

  • @vendetta5792 Two things, one, never move the 360 with a game in the drive. two, check the strength of the magnet, that is know to cause cutting on the disk, if thats the case there are videos on here that can help...

    hope that answers the questions...good luck

  • @peekaboo2u I got a problem when I play like for 5 mins it says disk is unreadable.

  • @peekaboo2u oh ok. thanks!~

  • yours actually spins.. my laser doesn't even move..

  • @MrFuzzySheeps chances are if yours doesn't spin its a magnet issue. You may want to search youtube for solutions, there are videos on here. good luck...

  • @peekaboo2u no its not lol my laser wont move back and forth it lights up 2 or 3 times and thats all..

  • @MrFuzzySheeps Well if that's the case, that's exactly what this video shows in the very beginning...watch the video, it shows that happening...i thought you were referring to the disk, not the lens...use this fix...

  • @peekaboo2u maybe but my tray fell out of my box so it wont open if i use the button i just take the magnet off from holding the disk and thats how i switched games but you no when you start a xbox up it makes the sound from the disc drive? its the laser moving in to place then the game start spinning so it will read my doesn't make that sound at all and it doesn't spin all it does lights up.

  • but why take your xbox appart??

  • @b1ackrosedragon those are the steps you have to take to fix it

  • @peekaboo2u fair enough but then it is havock to put it all back together just to play a game that u can get repaired at a game shop

  • i have the same problem i update the last dashbord and the rip games is not playing original games playing help

  • @SuperFasia you need to update the firmware in your 360 if its modded...go to whoever did the mod and have them update the firmware and everything will work

  • This video made me subscribe to Youtube for the first time so I could leave a positive comment! Fix worked perfectly though the drive in our 360 is a little different to that shown. In my case I found a small black rectangular piece of rubber within the drive case. Putting 2 and 2 together, making 4 it fitted perfectly on the metal plate as a buffer, bit of superglue and job's done. Also cleaned lens. Fantastic advice - many thanks. PS - presume this works for all DVD / CD players ?

  • @katsunkids Awesome! Glad it worked for you. Not hard at all right? Basically its like a record player when it gets to the end of the record, the needle just sits there, no music left. Well in this case, the laser is going so far in, it can't read the data it needs to start the disk with...it may work the same way with dvd/cd players, but cleaning the lens is always a good idea first.

  • Umm today My mom bought me a Kinect and I tried it out with Kinect Adventures

    when the game started I EXEDENTLY kikced the xbox 360 Slim

    ok and it made weird noises like breaking up and stuf so I prayed the God for like 5 min ...

    I putted the disk back in and on the dahsboard it showed "play game Kinect Adventure" And i jumped for joy ... D; , but when I press the adventure mode it tell me stuf about ther live and stuf and when i have to select START it crashes saying GAME ERROR PLZ HELP

  • @rich7boy7 check around youtube, i don't know of a solution other than checking the disk for scratches seeing how you kicked it...

    good luck

  • HELP !! i did the xbox live but it have done a update than my xbox read the game but a while it says disc unreadbel for evrey disc even the new

  • @gogo1393 Are you referring to updating a modded 360?

  • dide if i were u i woudnt mess with my xbox 360

  • whenever i start my mw2 disk it will play for like 10 seconds then say unreadable disk any suggestions?

  • @ohbrother94 same here. but it likes say unreadable in the middle of match.

  • @ohbrother94 same here

  • star wars lol

  • new typo

  • Someone help!!! I heard you can fix your xbox by twisting the left screw on the back of the lazer to the left. This made my xbox 360 run brand knew disc wise. Now I go to play Black Ops with my Mates and it won't read...HELP!!!

  • @TEHSACREDGS look at my video at :47 that's why I don't recommend messing with the laser. Best of luck, I'd help if I could, but I can't...you probably need to replace your laser now. Next time use my fix and you'd probably be in a better predicament.

  • PLZ HELP ME please one day i played blacck ops & moved my xbox my game had scratches & i repaired it a a special shop & now theres written unreadable problem

  • @33Flamengo it could be a couple of different things. if your system is old, it could be the laser on the drive need to be cleaned with rubbing alcohol. If that doesn't get it going, it could be that the magnet is too strong and causing the problem...

    Let me know if cleaning the laser on the dvd drive got things going and we'll go from there...

  • @peekaboo2u thank you very very much dude now verthing is good thanks !

  • I put a new drive in my xbox.. easy as killin noobs.

  • My xbox is the Kinect version (2010) and i recently tried to play the original xbox game Spiderman but it did the reading... open tray. its wierd because spiderman 2 works easily but for spiderman 1 all i hear from it is buzzzzzzzzzz* stop *buzzzzzzzzzz* stop*. My friend has spiderman and it works perfectly with his 360! the disc has very few scratches and i just bought it. Is it a fake disc or is it my xbox?

  • @wasaw102 I would bet that you probably need to update your dash...

    Let me know if that gets you going...

  • This song makes me feel so chill, it's ridiculous... What is it, porn music? haha.... No, but seriously, what's the name of this song - it's chill as FUCK.

  • sounds like HBO porn music

  • This song mkes me fell derpreesed

  • My MW2 has a laser burn across the lower middle part and it keeps popping up unreadable disc every 15-30 mins what do I do?

  • @Jzrailen I would bet your magnet is too strong, check on this site for "magnet issue" 360

  • I have a first gen by the way

  • Mine will read certain disks ony after it warms up and I open and close the disk drive mutiple times then it still freezes up. But it plays any cd or disk cleaner without hesitating. Anything I can do?

  • so my xbox disc drive decided it doesnt wanna read any xbox games -_- would flashing it with firmware help?

    cause i can flash it easily

  • can you really play an xbox not covered?

  • My xbox reads discs fine it just gives them back to me in pieces. I put in black ops, it came out cracked. I didn't even play it that long.

  • i have this with new vegas,it works after a while tho.

  • Absolutely unwatchable. Put on a light in your room next time before you make a movie so we can see what you are doing.

  • i updated my xbox 360 and then my 2 game disc wont read and then i buy a new disc for that 2, and it didnt read again how i can fix it?

  • worked! thanks

  • Mine doesn't have that pin right there, and it looks all different. Should I just still put the foam on where you said?

  • yea umm the other day i was playing mw2 with my friends when my cat knocked over my xbox "halo slim" and i now have a faint circle around mw2 disk and the xbox cant read it. says unreadable disk. is there anything i could do without buying a new game.

  • @jaobscott12 no

  • will this work if i don't update to kinect? because i have troubles with assassins creed brotherhood and my xbox 360 is NOT modded

  • If your In Need Of A Legit MS Point Gen Look At My Channel

  • If you are watching this video you probably have the unreadable disk problem. I too had it a few hours ago while my mom, dad 4 sisters and 2 brothers were at a baby shower. I decided not to go and stayed back to play my xbox360. My xbox360 had the unreadable disk problem no matter what disk. Here is how to fix it. Wait 2 hours till your sister comes home. She will play it without knowing there is even a "problem". Bam! it works, this happened to me today. she was playing indiana jones...

  • Nah mate, I'm legit

  • dude!!!!how did you take that thing apart without breaking a part?? the thing looks like a fricking alien bomb or something(love the music)

  • What's the name of the first song that plays?

  • this tells me fuck all

  • I like how you have a burnt game LMAO.

  • when it says your disc is reading then it says open tray take disc out an push tray in wiv hand dont do it slow do it fast then it resets laser u may have to do it a couple of times

  • can you remove my commnt to much people are replying

  • since i popped in black ops my xbox wont read discs anymore i have to warm it up and keep opening and closing the tray before it reads (takes abtou a half hour) plz help me cuz its really annoying

  • FOR ALL PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE UNREADABLE DISK PROBLEM *AFTER UPDATE 2011* i contacted the xbox support and they told that the mw2 and black ops would not work any more for COPYED cd... so the only solution for this problem is to buy original mw2/black ops cd.... HOPE THIS HELPED <3

  • @xREBILLIONx this is for every game that it doesnt read, not everyone plays cod.

  • u would nervrt buy that game

  • my xbox is a little different, has a different disc drive. so the rectengular piece in your xbox is more flat and oddly shaped in mine. so idk how to glue the foam to it..

  • Seems to be all new games for me. I think it's 2009 + games, my 360 seems to neglect. I think I've found my new punching bag anyway...

  • dude i love u u saved my xbox and without it i would be dead by now many thanks

  • @TDW120 I love it when a plan comes together! Good deal, glad I could help...

  • yo listen my xbox read every game i have except Nba 2k11 Mlb 2k10 and AC brotherhood... is that a lens problem? why it doesnt read those specific games? please respond to me!!

  • @MrProtuber is your 360 modded? that's an important part...if it is, you may need to update your firmware. not only that, but they (microsoft) are putting in new security tiers and forcing everyone to update their dashboards. Some games won't play without their updates. Now if your modded, you don't want their update, you want the underground dash...

    2k10 wouldn't apply to any of that though...so share with me your system info and tell me what your working with...

  • please help me i ve been trying to get mine working for sbout a year now and my friend gave me 2 perfectly working disc drives but of course they dont work on my xbox ive tryed the rubberband trick ive tryed lubeing the rails ive tryed the tapping trick ive tryed giving it a headstart and spinning it ive tryed putting the eye back in to place NOTHING WORKS and i cant use this trick because i have a newer xbox (not the black kinect ones) ur xbox is totally outdated PLEASE HELP ME! ! ! ! ! ! !

  • @morg9900 ok, now you can't just pop in any drive to your 360. The drives are assigned to each system. They are recognized by a specific "key". To put another drive into your system, you have to "flash" the drives...

    That would have to be done by someone that is familiar with how to do it and usually they are guys from craigslist that mod systems...

  • @peekaboo2u hey you can just swap out the boards if they are the same drive like ben-q for example

  • @peekaboo2u do u recommend playing without the case? i think it is better but it can get broken and other things more easily am i right?

  • @peekaboo2u u dont rlly have to flash them..u can just make sure theyre the same firmware and brand... if so u can take the motherboard from ur old drive and put it in the new one

  • @peekaboo2u how do u get in contact with people that "flash" the drives in sydney

  • @morg9900 try to poke a breadknife in with a dry cloth ... not an ordinary knife with a pointed end, because the knife will go through the fabric of course =) and xbox must be turned on without CD! otherwise you can not bury your any bread knife in, Imagine that, to clean the laser disc!. It helped my xbox to register the games the first time when the Xbox is turned on ..... hope this vil help all of us microsoft xbox disappointing people =)

  • @morg9900 hey you can get the drives your friend gave you to work in your xbox as long as they are the same make like ben q, it is very simple take your drive and take the two boards out (mark them so you don't get them mixed up) take one of the good drives and take the two boards out. set them aside put your boards in. put drive back together and your done no flash needed

  • @morg9900 hey you can get the drives your friend gave you to work in your xbox as long as they are the same make like ben q, it is very simple take your drive and take the two boards out (mark them so you don't get them mixed up) take one of the good drives and take the two boards out. set them aside put your boards in. put drive back together and your done no flash needed

  • What is the name of this song???

  • This just happened to me after upgrading to the new dashboard. With EVERY game. Its so annoying. It won't read any discs. Just as well i have MW2 installed on the hard drive.

    Pity I never installed all my games collection.

  • @dazz7400 are you modded or legit?

  • @peekaboo2u Legit. I bought it a year and 10 days ago. Played only about 20 times. I'd say under 100 hours gameplay

  • @dazz7400 SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!

  • @dazz7400 ap 2.5

  • @malik932008 Can you be a bit more specific? Thanks.

  • @dazz7400 if u are modded ap 2.5 games will not boot if not patched with ssv3

  • I tryed to play a game on my xbox and it said "open tray". Would this still work for me?

  • @Mik3andCr3am start simple first: clean disk, check for scratches. if all clear, open 360, open dvd drive, clean dvd lens with rubbing alcohol, test a game...

    if none of that clears the problem, do this fix...

  • @Mik3andCr3am I know its been 6 months after you posted your comment, but if what he said and this fix doesnt work, your disk drive may be busted and might need a new one designed for your xbox

  • All you have to do is tilt your xbox to the left, then open the tray and close it. You don't have to tear the shit out of your Xbox... Dumbass.

  • i cant play with the 360 open yhe disc flys out help

  • @Steven831BayArea did you attach the magnet to the top of the disk? It's inside the dvd lid...

    Let me know

  • @peekaboo2u o im getting a new one this xmas

  • @Steven831BayArea the top of the disk tray casing has a metal piece u have to pop out of it and put over the disk while its in the diskdrive rub your finger over the top metal casing of your dvd drive and you will feel a piece of metal cut from it..in a circular possition..remove that take out the plastic top thats in there and put that peice over the disk before it spins

  • @Steven831BayArea you have to put the magnet on

  • @Steven831BayArea use the magnet in the top side of the tray

  • @Steven831BayArea lol, u need that lil magnet to set on top of the disc... thanks for the laugh tho i needed it

  • its reakky weird i put my ac brotherhood disc in on the 1st day i bought,then few days later the disc unreadable....

  • @khailoon619 Yeah..... The Xbox seems to read new discs better and as their used more they get the error

  • i was havin the problem wih fallout 3 being "moody" i put it in the open tray and hit it with constant knocks whie it went in and it worked!

  • i have this problem..but not always...sometimes the game works, sometimes it doesn't. should i try this? for example...my gta4 backup always works..but forza motorsport 3 is very moody...it runs when it wants...also, if i do this fix will i be able to play originals?

  • my disc trays not opening, getting stuck etc so I cleaned the rubber band(drive belt) & that seems to have helped BUT when I try to play disc it says open tray or insert disc even though there is a disc in there , I know I shouldnt but if I give the xbox a quick sharp bang on the top over the tray the game will sometimes load & I can play, obviously I dont want to keep doing that! so there are my symptoms, any help please?ps I have allready bought a new 360s but still want to fix my elite to mod

  • @paulspydar just bash it on the side say like if your were knocking on a door and it should open. it happens to me too but if you follow what i say it will truly work

  • I have a Halo Reach Disc and my xbox maded a Little schratsh on it ;O And that wasn¨t my game :( When i put the game in my xbox, it says Reading, and then is says, Open tray!!! And somtetimes it says Mixed media disc????? And somtetimes the game starts, but 10 seconds after, it says: Can¨t read yout¨e disc ::O:O:O:O

  • @az9076 you lens is not reading the security sector on the disk. use this fix, as you adjust the bumper mentioned in the video, you will align the lens to read the needed sectors on the dvd and you'll be playing...

  • This music reminds me of 2girls1cup..

  • Man I Have Xbox 360 Elite Not Coby I just buy Black Ops And It's Working just Fine  3days later It's Say's (Error Game unreadable) What to Do (-_-) And the Disc Had A Littel crical Scratch

  • cant you buy those cans with air in them that spray to clean comupters

  • Can anybody tell me if u can fix a smudge??

  • The best way to fix it is by installing the game on your xbox. This happned to my fifa 10. Basically since your disk is scratched or smudged etc it wont let you play the game, but all you need to do is borrow another disk of that game fore the xbox off a friend or a relative that has that type of disk. Put the disk in while one your xbox dashboard, go to games library, select the game, it will come up 'olay game' and 'install', click install and then u cn play with ur scratched disk, no problems

  • Or you just head over to closest game stop and ask for a CD scratch removal repair.

    It only coasts about 5$.

    THUMBS UP IF YOUR NOT POOR!

  • @ph3n0m3n0nph3n0 same problem except it won't even read my mw2 disc it just says "open disc". I have tried a lot of things nothing seems to work. Today I got so close to playing it into a multiplayer lobby but then it said disc unreadable. Oh well four days till Black Ops

  • @biozapdatema

    4 days? Bro, modded boxes have had Ops for a week already...

    Cmon man, you gotta mod your system! You're missing out...

  • @biozapdatema had similar problem found that lubing the skrew that moves the laser and cycling it a few times by hand worked wonders

  • Can someone please help me?When i go on the Mw2 disk i go in a multiplayer match and like a minute in that game it keeps saying its unreadable but all before that its fine PLEASE HELP IVE TRIED EVERYSINGLE METHOD ITS NOT MY XBOX OR GAME DISK PLEASE IVE TRIED THIS 27 TIME I NEVER GOT TO PLAY MW2 THIS WEEKEND PLEASE HELP ME IM CRYING

  • @ph3n0m3n0nph3n0m3n0n your game is probebly scrathed

  • i wonder what would happen if u stuck ur finger in the disk reader while the disk is spining

  • Hey man, Okay so i pop in a disc and i dont hear anything but then it says reading, then i get the open tray prompt on my dashboard. So i popped it all apart and cleaned the laser with isopropyl alcohol and i got nothing but the same problem, how often do the spindles wear out?

  • IF YOUR XBOX KEEPS SAYING OPEN TRAY THEN JUS TAKE LIKE A THIN REFRIGERATOR MAGNET THAT HAS LIKE A PICTURE ON IT AND PUT IN THE DISC TRAY WITH A GAME FACE THE MAGNET UPWARDS IT SHOULD HELP IT FIXED MINE

  • so i just tape or glue a piece of foam at the area you specified what the is the pin contact part

  • i have my xbox since christmas and i modded the drive from the first day...last week while i was playing ace combat 5 when it started loading a video it froze...now when i try to play game(original or copy) it either says the disc is unreadable after a few seconds or after many tries it starts the game, plays it for a little and then it freeze again...the console has no problem playing dvd's though...the drive is not changed...it's the factory one...do you have any idea?thx a lot!

  • @vidimad360 try playing it without the faceplate, that may help with the tray getting stuck...

  • hey man, can you exactly tell me how i burn xbox games perfectly.

    honestly, i tried all the methods on the internet on my samsung drive. however some of them work barely after i run it again and some of them work perfectly. the rest are giving me disk error message during the gameplay or at the beginning of booting any suggestion ?

  • my disc just works for like 2 minutes and then it says that the disc is unreadable. is this my disc or do i have to fix my xbox? because i dont see any deep scratches on my disc...

  • thats a iso disc is you xbox a jtag

  • doesnt work for me. the xbox 360 reads other games but not halo 3. theres a grinding noise for halo 3 but all the other games are fine and work well.can any1 help with this?

  • Didn't work. Now it says that its not even an xbox disk. good thing i tried it on a shit game lol 

  • Could you help me? I usually get the disk read error on my mw2 game, as soon as I play a match it fucks up but when I turn off the console and unplug my HDMI cord, wait about 20 seconds, re-plug it in, and my game works... wtf?

  • Ok does anyone know why my Xbox says "can't read disk" while I play games that are fully downloaded off the marketplace. It also occurs randomly throughout C.D. games. I have tried many different C.D.s and many different downloaded games and the same thing happens. It randomly says "cant read disk". This really confuses me due to the fact that a lot of my games do not have a disk.

  • its like reading the bible 

  • All my games work but when I put in mw2 it loads then after a while it says unreadable

  • i think i might have rrod because it keeps on freeing if it does im not gonna get another xbox i will rather get ps3 cuz online is free :/
