This guide will show you how to remove and replace the optical disc drive on the Xbox One S. This procedure is necessary if your gaming system will not read any gaming disks or movies. The tools necessary are a screwdriver (i.e. a Torx Security Screwdriver) and any slim pry tool. This process requires gentle hands and patience, as it can take more than a few minutes. Light soldering may be required when dealing with the drive’s wires.

Why do you have to replace the motherboard when replacing the optical disc drive?
because Microsoft puts a security code on the motherboard to pair the drive with the motherboard. so if they don’t match, all it will do is read DVDs and not play any games. Depending on the drive, sometimes you have to Unsolder and resolder the wires going to the motherboard. Other times, it can just be a series of clips for 2 cables and a plug.
If you learned basic soldering in High School, it isn’t too hard to solder.

what do you need to solder, pics please…
Helped me get to the optical drive in order to disassemble it and remove a coin that was blocking the motor (gotta love toddlers). Thanks!
Is this what is to be done if the laser unit seems to be faulty?
