    Is anyone else having this problem where no disc will play at all?



    I have had my xbox 360 just a little over a year. I was playing Halo 3
    today when it started grinding like crazy so I turned it off and waited
    a few minutes. Now I cannot get any disc or dvd to play at all. Tried
    taking the hard drive off but that did not work. I called support just
    to be told that my warranty expired December 16th, 2007(how
    convenient!) and if I want it repaired I will have to pay $99. I
    already paid over $400 for this system a year ago! Now I have to pay
    extra because their system has defect! No way!



    Is this a scam or what? I have never had a game console in the past
    that crapped out like this so fast. What really gets me is that this
    error is one of the top on the list for the support page so it has to
    be a common problem. So why do I have to pay $99? Something just does
    not sound right here. Sounds like a scam to me.



    Anyone else have this problem?

    While in the middle of playing my two NEW XBOX 360 games, I receive the error message "This disc is unreadable. Clean the disc and restart the console." I followed the instructions and cleaned the two brand new games, then restarted the console and that did not help because I would start playing the games again I would get the same message again . I do not know if the problem is with the game console or the two new games I purchased. Please help.

    . then it does not read the cd and a voice says somthing idk but

    how do i solve this ? should i give it to the xbox mechanic?

  • Anonymous May 19, 2009

    it's a scam, i've had 2 consoles from Microsoft abrubtly stop reading disks in under a year and a half time fram. They don't cover it unless you purchase a separate warranty, don't bother calling their support line, they will tell you they understand your frustration, but won't do a ******* thing about it, and they will hang up as quickly as they can without offering any reasonable solution. Microsoft actually expects you to pay 100 dollars to get it fixed. I should have known better, MS has absolutely no desire to satisfy their customers, no matter how much money you waste on their ****.

Make sure your box is not blowing really hot air and nothing is right behind it blocking it. I get disc read errors when its hot. Turn it off for a few minutes and let it cool down. Consider the xbox360 fan add on. From what your saying as long as it is not consistant it is just being TEMPramental . ALWAYS turn it off when your not using and be real nice to it. If the problem is consistant go back to solution 1 as a new or fixed xbox is better than one that may be running into problems.

I blew ours out with an air compressor (I'm sure a can of air would work fine) and couldn't believe the amount of dust that blew out. Also make sure the drive drawer is open when you unplug it so you can blow air inside the cd-rom too.
Also bought a cd/dvd cleaner at officemax.
All works fine now!
Good luck all!!

Check and see if there is any deep scratches in you disk. Happened to me, i just brought the game back to the store,no recept, and they gave me a new on because it was the manufactures fault.

  • Anonymous May 21, 2007

    Call the service hotline and talk to a real person, not one of those crappy recordings. Explaine your situation and they should send you a prepaid box to send your 360 back in. They will repair it for you for free.
    Thats what I did.
    GOODLUCK

Yea I tried to call m$ about this issue, NOT COVERED by the extended warranty. WTF. I'm pissed. I allready had to send my first console in for the ring of death. Now this... The 360 I have now is refurbished, I swore that I was told that I would have a full year warranty on the replacement console. Maybe I'll call again.

You are going to need to send it back to microsoft. It sounds like the DVD drive is going bad. Also Make sure there are no scratches or dirt on the disk. Microsoft has extended there warranty so it should not be a problem and they get you a new machine in about 1 1/2 weeks.
