Xbox 360: DVD drive not working properly

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 05:17:49 -0700

So this xbox 360 got into my hands, which had gone through a power spike or an outage. And now the dvd drive is not reading disks. It opens and closes fine, but when you put in the disk, it spins it for about 2 seconds and then just stops. The owner replaced the disk drive, but the issue is still there. Help

Xbox 360: green ring of death.

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:19:06 -0700

Basically my xbox turns on and shows a green light but does nothing. Nothing come on the screen, the pad turns on but doesn't respond. and when you unplug the pad and reattach plug it in it doesn't have power to it (wired pad).

Is it the same problem as the red ring or something worse?

When a game is inserted, the Xbox still says "open tray." I have googled this and found it to be called "open tray error." Is there a way to fix this?

Xbox 360: Should I replace all the caps or just the damaged ones<

I had the RROD so I replaced all the bad caps. It now works but turns off after 5-10 minutes while playing a game. Should I relace all the caps.

Xbox 360: My disc tray is stuck. Reads games fine.

Sat, 07 Mar 2026 07:00:31 -0700

I'm very new to tech DIY, but it is new found interest and I am trying my best, I bought a project 360 and everything works fine apart from the disc drive. I took the housing off the disc drive, put a game in it, built it back up and it reads fine, but won't open on it's own. I think the slider mechanism slides too far, locking it in position but I'm not sure. I will provide photos for reference, since it reads discs I'd rather fix it than replace it and waste the rest of the parts. Thanks.

Xbox 360: I accidentally forgott were the potentiometer was from the beginning

Tue, 30 Dec 2025 02:05:16 -0700

My Xbox 360 wasn't loading disks so I looked It upp on youtube and disassembled the whole thing. Then I understood that I needed to adjust the potentiometer but accidentally did it to much, now I have been trying for over 2 hours to get to its original position! I heard that a multimeter could help but I don't have one or know how to use it.

Xbox 360: Xbox 360 (Jasper) Not Turning on.

Wed, 15 Oct 2025 01:39:51 -0700

Well. recently i PicoFlashed my XBOX. after messing with dashlaunch, my NAND corrupted. so i picoflashed. the LOG if you want to see:

Initializing nanddump1.bin, please wait...

Header is wrong

Reading Nand to C:\GOG Games\J-Runner-with-Extras\output\nanddump2.bin

Read Successful!

Comparing, please wait...

Too Many Bad Blocks

Nands are the same

Initializing flashdmp.bin, please wait...

Glitch2 selected

Nand Initialization Finished

Checking Console...

Flash Config: 0x00000001

Writing flashdmp.bin to Nand

Write Successful!

The console is LTU (i think). Is jasper. pure. without RGH or JTAG.
Well. after the flash, we tried to turn it on. but nothing happened. the controller wont receive power. the brick stays orange.
i know the led on the brick changes according to consumption. without anything connected, the led is slightly weaker. with the XBOX connected, it gets a bit brighter. this is normal response. with the xbox broken or not. but, she stays orange. without trying to get on.

i could try to force her on. but i doubt that this would be a good idea. and probably some magic smoke you come off him.

Either i think maybe a small ball of Solder joint got off and its shorting somewhere else.
We shaken it a bit to see if anything would come out. bur nothing really came out.

Xbox 360: Red ring on death issues

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 02:51:16 -0700

My Xbox 360 recently got the dreaded red ring of death, and I’ve tried everything available to fix it. I re-balled the gpu, I’ve heated the ram chips, cpu, and gpu, i pressed on the Hanna chip, I replaced leaky capacitors, I’ve checked the board for missing parts, I’ve cleaned it, I installed red ring of death fix kit by Ifixit, I made sure the power supply was properly plugged in. Nothing has worked. Any ideas on how to fix this issue??? My error code was 0020.

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: That mysterious rattling noise...

Sun, 24 Aug 2025 15:17:03 -0700

Every Xbox 360 I have ever come into contact with has a very distinct rattling noise . It sounds like a screw or spring is rattling back and forth, but doesn't have any adverse effects on the performance of the console. I have isolated it to something on the logic board, and I am sure that there is nothing "floating" around the inside of the console.

So, does anyone know what could be the source of this most enigmatic rattle?
