try cleaning the lasers.
Ive had a few units in and they've been filthy
specially if the consoles been sitting on floor most of its (long) life.
Hi all,
Just wondering IF someone can point out to me how to get my Original consoles DVD drive to read more games..
I'm trying to backup a couple of Original games to HDD , but wont read them or only reads part of them..
Is it the laser is miss alligned or the drive close to being stuffed ??
thanks

Whats good for cleaning them ??
I have Alchohol swabs.. that & cotton buds.
will that be ok ??
There is only 1 laser isnt there ???
OH it will read some "some times" but not others.
Also have my so called "spare" that just closes & opens .. then close & opens
Just took 11 times to get it to stay closed & read the game..

its not an old hitachi drive is it? they were/are pretty picky about what they read.
yeh samsungs shouldnt behave like that at all , try as urban said or maybe a pot tweak if the former doesnt work.
you can use a pc drive with a power spliter to copy backup games to hdd
wont do originals
or box to box via crossover cable if you can get another box
may have a working drive here you can have will need to check
suprised you havn't told him to x-clamp it lol...
POT tweak is another half assed fix....
Try find a replacement laser / replacement drive if the cleaning did not work
LG8163B drives i think also work in the original xbox with a power adapter, these drives are much more better than the stock standard drives.
Worse come to worse get another xbox for $50 from ebgames, salvage the drive and keep the rest as spares
Thanks guys..
Will try some alcohol swab / cotton bud and allow to dry & hope it gets better.
apart from that...Take your squabbling some where else please...
Urban... Those LG dvd drives are the "ones" for Wii as well arent they ???

disregard what i said about hitachi drives earlier, i didnt read the title properly and thought you meant a 360.
