Console Troubleshooting??

[Guest]

I have an old Xbox with a faulty disc drive. I have tried cleaning it, but it still doesnt work. It will begin to spin up as if it is working, but then it will stop, then spin again until it stops again. Any suggestions?

point a heat gon at it. I heard that works great for the red ring of death for the xbox 360 back in the 2000s

Would it work for an original Xbox?

oh god, you took me seriously. 

 

That was supposed to be a troll post. Although that is how people actually fixed the RROD with xbox 360s back in the day, that was to fix the onboard SOC because the chip would overheat and die over time. Pointing a heat gun at it would not fix your problem with the disk drive.

 

I believe the origional Xbox was literally just a repackaged PC. I would probably just buy a replacement drive for the system. To me the problem sounds like a dirty sensor, and you will have to take apart the disk drive entirely to clean that. 

 

 

I already took it apart and cleaned it, yet it still wont work. And lucky me i dont even have a heat gun
