This typically caused by a weak/dead .
The laser cost about 20.00 30.00
and isn't to hard to replace if you want
to save money.

Or you can have a shop swap it out
for around 80.00 or so.

If you have any questions just comment and ill respond.

before you are so easily throw negative feed back
maybe you should have ask if I know where and how
to install one , I may have sent you one and instructed
you personally on how to install it . your cost 20.00
and you now have a working box . I have helped others
before like this.

Oh-well

This is more than likely your laser that is dead and its possibly a Samsung or Hitachi drive, be careful
when
buying a new laser because there is a lot of dodgy ones around at the minute which can damage your
machine or
at the very least will be inferior and not last long.

if your 360 reads DVD's but not games it may be repairable but if it wont read anything then your better
off replacing the laser. strip down the console and strip the DVD drive, take out the laser and look
underneath it, it will have a code such as HD57 or something else, note that down. Visit ebay and search
for the laser with the same code, buy it, fit it in and make sure you de-solder the static blob of solder
before using it (search the net about this or ask the seller) and then try your machine again :)
this might help. there is also something else you can try and thats something called asjusting the 'pots',
this is a bit complicated for anyone not used to the process but i do have a guide if you want to have a
go yourself. what this does is adjust the laser power so its a full again just like it was when you first
bought it. (thats the easy explanation).
