My xbox just recenly would not read any video game cd or dvd. I turned it on, put my game in and it says unreadable disc so i thought well it might just be that game. i put in another game and nothing. i put in other games and the same thing happens. it keeps on saying unreadaable disc and an error code. i need help!
Is this a good question?

jose, I would start of with a DVD lens cleaner and see if that makes a difference. If that does not work, you can try and replace the laser assembly or the optical drive.

how would i start that?
oh, I am sorry, You can purchase the DVD cleaning disk from most major department stores. If you do not have any department stored, you can disassemble it and use high percentage isopropyl alcohol and clean the lens.
ill give that a go. seems like a good idea. thanks.

hitpatel is correct. The majority of the time it is a bad laser. I never even attempt a disc cleaner. Change out the laser. If that doesn't work, the board in the DVD drive is probably bad, at which time, you need a new console.

jose, which Xbox is it?
by oldturkey03
its the newr version. the slim.
by jose
Very good chance the laser is dead. Not sure why, but the laser on the new slim system, do not even make it 2 years.
Very easy to replace, if you are good at taking things apart.
Lasers are very cheap too, $10-$15 each.
