My dvd drive does not seem to recognize and read any dvds any more for no apparent reason. Is there some software settings that I can check or has my drive just stopped working. I have a version 1.0 xbox. Thanks for any suggestions/help.

Do the games/DVDs spin when you put them in? If so it may be a dirty lens? What kind of drive do you have? Thompson,Phillips,Samsung? All of this info will help with the diagnosis!!

Sounds like your losing your lens, I'm in the process of listing some dvd drives on ebay. If your interested let me know and you might be able to save some $. email me at [email protected]
you probably have a thompson drive. They ae huge pieces of sh*t so I reccomend buying a samsung 616f drive. If you are cheep and don't want to, you can tune up your drive and probably fix it. Inside the thompson drives, there is a little screw that when you turn, it increases the power of the laser. I would give you a link to the tutorial, but xbox-scene seems to be either offline now, or else this computer's stupid internet filter is blocking me. Anyway, its pretty easy, you just need a multimeter, small screwdriver, and something to scratch off/dissolve the crap that they cover the screw that you need to turn. You take apart the drive, look around for a little plastic screw thingy, use a multimeter to measure the resistance. It should be around 1200-1500 ohms. Twist the knob until it is around 800-900 ohms. The less your resistance, the more powerful the laser. If you go too low, I think 700 or lower, the drive gets really noisy. any lower than 600 and it starts to kill your dvd's. I will post the actual tutorial as soon as I can find it.

LMFAO - Current price: $109.00
Are you trying to tell me that the DVD drive is the most expensive part of the xbox? Spend an extra $20, and buy a refurb'd box for that price, jeezus.

The drive does seem to spin when I put something in but then it says that there is no disc inserted.
If you decide to just buy a new system let me know and I'll buy your broken one. Make it a little easier on your pocket. Just pm me or email me. My email is on the 1st page.
Actually, I yoinked it off the net somewhere. For exactly this reason:burgan said:

Really? That would be pretty ironic - of course, I would change it if requested. I don't want any off the wall accusations of impersonating xecuter.Telexen said:
