Greg wrote Tried replacing the laser in one of my brothers xbox 360's. Done this a few times before and never had an issue but this time the laser seems to be messed up and won't read a game and makes a HORRID noise

Any ideas?

possible could need a new PCB or could be bad spindle or worm gear motor. I can not see the video on Facebook try YouTube I can help you further along. Also did you remove the anti static point that is bridged for shipping ?

I will upload it to youtube tomorrow. Yes I removed the anti-static solder ball before installing

Can you also show and explain what the drive is doing in the video?

There is the video, sorry it's a few days later than i said i would get it up. You may not be able to see it in the video, but the laser starts to read the disc, then judders backwards as it makes that horrible noise

try replacing the worm gear motor that drives the laser they tend to burn up or get tangled with hair and causes it not to work properly you can get them for around $6 hopefully that will fix the issue and if you need help ask

Thanks Rodent! Always helping the community as much as you can!!

I have replaced the worm gear motor, put another new laser in and still makes the horrible noise and judders as it tries to read a disc :/

has to be something wrong with the PCB (printed Circuit board) if your in the U.S. I can help get it fixed cheap

Thanks for this list. I have dealt with a lot of these sellers personally.

how can you find out what disc drive u need for a xbox 360 that doesnt have one

It would need to be rgh'd/jtag'd to boot Xell and retrieve your keys.

What Tag-Nation has said is correct. If you can tell me what motherboard you have i can see if i can repair this for you , and then put it back so it works like a normal Retail console again for you

Hey Rodent, could you change my name on the list to _Skittle as the current one now links to a dickhead who stole my name
