Take it apart and do a simple clean of the entire system. remove all dust, dirt, and other junk. This fixes many problems. ~Brigham

    Adjust the lens "pot." the pot controls how much light the laser lets through. Here is a great site on how to adjust the pot.http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/thomp...

RCA RS2664 Stereo wont play CD in any of the trays but seems to try to scan to play.
Hello
The laser pickup unit's lens may be dirty or dusty. Just put a lens cleaning disc into the tray, and play it at least three times, by ejecting the disc each time, and reinsert in in to. The lens cleaning disc can be bought from most of the electronic spare part selling shops at your town, and won't cost more. If it dose not help you, the laser pickup unit of your RCA device should be replaced with same type and number. OK.

My xbox is not reading discs i try it like 15 times
Do you get the message, "Your Xbox can't recognize this disk. Make sure it's an Xbox game, DVD movie, or audio CD. Also check to see if the disk is dirty or damaged. Remove the disk to continue."? If so, is it displaying the message for all of you games? If it is, then it is most likely a problem with the console itself.

Won't read games
Clean the lens with a can of compressed air or a cheap cd cleaner (CD with brushes on it). Common for the lens to get dirty and not read games.

Hope this helps.

CoD4 disc won't read.
how many times have you tried to play the disc?
the 360 is prone to many disc read errors, and most of the time if you just keep trying to play the disc it will work. xbox recognized the problem, and with the new dashboard update you can install games to your hard drive which minimizes the time the disk is spinning, which in turn minimizes disk read errors.

if it doesn't play, I would deffinetly try getting a new copy before sending in the console. getting a new copy is just a trip to the store, sending in the console will take a month.

Disk wont play
Microsoft Xbox have some common problem like red lights, E74 and Disc Read Error. Microsoft is providing extended warranty for red lights problem, Means you will have to spend some money in order to get this problem repaired from Microsoft also you will have to wait for 3-4 weeks to get your Xbox back. There are many reasons disc read error can occur in your Xbox like your disc might not be clean, laser might also be dirty and many more common problem. I would suggest you to first clean out the disc, you are using. If that don't solve the problem you can also take the help of DIY guide available at Internet. I think you have got good no. of options to get your Xbox repaired, Choice is yours.

Xbox dvd rom
Hi,
xboxes are my speciality, spent about 2-3 years repairing them.
you,ll have a dirty or worn laser unit.
thats why it won,t read disks.
As for your other fault, regarding unloading.
this is the hard-drive, being 6 years old, it,s worn out.
Constantly read/writing Data. and the possibility of being full of dust. it,s had a great life.
i,m in birmingham ( UK )
If you need a service-repair-replacement.
Please contact me for further details.
