Chosen Solution
I have an original Xbox with the Philips disc drive. While playing my games it would a message would show up saying it could not read the disc. And after a while it completely stopped playing my games. Afternoon further research it said to replace the lens if after cleaning it still didn’t work. I bought a brand new lens and got it installed and it still won’t play or read disk. Help! I don’t know what to do!
Hi! When you first insert a disk, does it make noises as if it was trying to read the disk or not? If not the drive motors could have given up, the only solution to this would be replacing the drive entirely.
Optical lasers have an anti static point on the circuit board that needs to be desoldered for the laser to function. If have already removed it you have a defective laser or incorrect model for you drive.
