Apply Grease & Clean Laser

These drives are seasoned. Model 1.0 Xboxes were made in 2001 and nearly 20yrs old now. It's wise to re-lubricate them anywhere moving parts or friction is applied
If your drive door sticks when pressing the eject button, now is the time to replace your drive belt. Do this before applying grease to eliminate accidentally getting it on your belt
Apply grease to highlighted areas
Don't forget the tooth track, highlighted yellow, shown in previous step
Apply a liberal glob of grease along the tooth track and insert/withdraw the drive door a few times to easily lubricate the gears highlighted pink
With a cotton swab, gently clean your laser with 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol
