X-Box 360 Repair Reviews

Archive for the ‘Xbox 360 Repairs’ Category

I have an inquiry for people with possible past experiences of Xbox disc drive problems. Heres the story my Xbox 360 was stolen a while back and I have no money to replace it being in the lower class of things. My friend has an Xbox 360 with a broken disc drive and said I can have it if I fix the drive. Everytime you put in a disc instead of saying play the game it says play DVD and brings you to a white screen with some text on it in a variety of languages. Is the best possible repair for this to buy a new Xbox disc drive and replace it myself or to send it to Microsoft and pay a whole lot more of money that will take me several months to come up with? And I am very educated with technology so putting in a new disc drive would not be the problem for me.

When I got my xbox 360 last year my friend acciedentally knocked it over and now everytime I want to put in or take out a game I need to actually hit or drop a decent amount just to get the disc drive to open. I did open the xbox in an attempt to fix it myself *this was shortly before the extended warranty* with no prevail. I was wondering if I were to send it in and pay the repair fee, if I am able to get a new drive? Possibly one of the BenQ? models

Ok my xbox was playing GTA IV and I trippedover the internet wire and my xbox fell over and made a grinding noise. I tookthe disc out and it had big rings in the middle of it. I then took it to the games men and they fixed it. when I was talking to them they explained to me that by fixing it they were pretty much grinding it away so the scratches were gone. now what I am about to say is going to make you think I am realy stuped and yes I know I am but….well I did it again. I tripped over the internet wire and it fell over again and there are more rings. but my question is is it safe to get it repaired again or will this we grinding down too far?

I have a video game that was in my xbox 360 but something dropped on my xbox while I was not paying attention. No damage was done to the xbox but some wierd scratch has appeared on my disc. It’s a circle looking scratch to the outside of the disc and I just can’t seem to get it off. Do you guys have any techniques to get out the scratches. I’ve already tried disc cleaner and other stuff. Otherwise, how would I get a refund from the store I got it from? Thanks for the help.

Ok i sent my 360 in on the 19th of december and i was frequently checking my repair status .. on the 27th it said it was being shipped back to me .. on the 29th the day my 360 was supposed to come i got the disc i accedentily left in my console … so i went to check my repair status and it says the same thing except no ups tracking at the bottom .. i called xbox customer service and they gave me a ups tracking number . when i checked it online it says that it was deliverd on the 29th .. the day i recieved my disc… can someone tell me how to find out whats going on with my console.. it will be greatly appreciated!!!

I have a sentimental attachment to my XBox, but about a year and a half ago the disc tray broke. Ive called a few local game repair places but they all say that they dont carry the tools to fix such a problem. I was wondering if there is a way i could fix it myself if possible. If its not an easy fix, id like to get as much info as I can to further pinpoint what needs to be done.
All answers appreciated

i fucked up my favorite xbox 360 game pretty bad it has some pretty bad scratches so what do i do plz help

ok so something is for sure wrong with my xbox, i just got the brand new Beatles rock band and it wont play. Also none of my other games work anymore that worked a few days ago. My friend brought his xbox over yesterday, and we played my discs on his console, that didnt work on mine. i even put my harddrive on is xbox and it worked fine. Also i bought CD that cleans the laser that reads discs, and after that, still no luck. I just put in Fable2 and i got the usual; TO PLAY THIS DISC PUY IT IN A XBOX 360 CONSOLE. So cleaned it just to see what would happen, with a scratch wizard CD repair, and i put it back in. Now instead of seeing the Play DVD under the my xbox section, i actually get the picture of Fable2 and the option to Play GAME. But then i push play and it says the disc is dirty. Its not my discs its something in the xbox. Is there some easier solution to this or do i have to send it to Microsoft. (by the way i’ve had my xbox for over a year, i can still send it in right?)

I have to send in my xbox 360 console for repair and online it says to remove any discs, hard drives, or accesories before I send the console in. Do I also send in the power brick and the audio/video cables? Or do I just send in the console alone with nothing else.

I just got my Xbox back from repair… and immediately had a problem. My halo 3 disc won’t spin. The weird thing is that all of the other discs will spin and play normally. My Halo does not have any significant scratches, and it doesn’t look like it needs a repair (hopefully) because I just got it back. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
