I took my old 1.0 Xbox out of my attic after it was sitting there for about 7-8 years. I knew it was working completely fine when I put it there. I just tested it and it works and boots to the dashboard, ***BUT*** the DVD drive doesn’t work.

My console shows a blinking green light on the front when powering it on, and pressing the Eject button does nothing. It also occasionally turns off my console when pressing the Eject button.

Though, after manually ejecting the DVD drive and pulling it out all the way, the blinking green light turns into a static green light and goes back to blinking once I put it back in. The console itself throws no errors regarding the DVD drive, even though it seems to be dead.

(This is probably not related but the console gives me Error 16 the first time I turn on the console (which it does by itself when plugged in) after being unplugged. It’s fine once I reboot it, though)
Update: Sometimes the light keeps blinking even when opening the DVD drive, and sometimes the light stays static after opening the DVD drive and closing it.
