Problem for Microsoft Xbox 360 Console

Disc Drive will not spin




By traciedee on Feb 16, 2008

Recently I kept getting an unreadable disc message on my xbox 360. I took it apart and notice that the disc drive will not spin my game. I acts like it wants to start but it spins hesitantly and then won't spin at all then it get the unreadable disc message. Thanks for any help you can give me.

-   I have same problem. SUCH BS....I hate MS. IM getting a PS3 once my 3rd 360 breaks. ANd they wonder why they have so many sales. ITs becuase these things break by the 2nd year every single time. Its either 3 red lights or disc drive problems or whatever. Whatta joke. They want over 100 to fix it, when the drive probaly costs them 2$. You cant by a drive and do it yourself because there is a securtity key that needs to be flashed. And good luck with that ! What I dont understand is why is there not a company out there that can undercut MS and fix these things for cheap........on to the store for a arcade version or just maybe, just mayber a PS3.

I just got a refurbed 360 off ebay and i have had it hooked up 5 minutes and i noticed the disc was not spinning, what cracks me up is they tested this before it left microsoft ? Assholes at microshit strike once again. 200 dollars and aint been able to use it once.

My disc won't spin my discs either. It makes a long drawn out beeping noise followed by the unplayable disc error for every game i try. I don't want to have to pay 100 dollars for microsoft to do something that will take me five minutes. What's going on?
