Utilize the information on this website to determine what Xbox version you have so you know what replacement parts to look for.
The final comment mentions “only remove if dead.” What about a disc drive that closes and opens immediately….in other words, won’t stay closed. Is this a sign of a defective disc drive too?
I am having the same issue, Miguel.
Did you buy a new drive or figure out a better fix?
Thanks

I learned that you need to change out the drive belt in the disc drive. Over time it wears out and either won't open, stays open, or will open/close continuously. I changed my drive belt and it started working fine.
Can anyone help..My Xbox can't read games..I took it apart and cleaned it, still can't read games
