Xbox 360 model 1439

My xbox was dropped and now it it making a loud noise, it will play music cd's but not games. It will go through the opening scenes of game discs but then will say the disc is not readable. I have heard it is the laser lens that needs replaced, but I'm wondering if this is something I can do myself.

There's a number of YouTube videos about replacing laser lenses on Xbox 360s.
Probably a good idea to watch a few of them - only you can determine if it's something you can do yourself.

SOURCE: do I need to clean the laser lens manually or replace something

Lens cleaners are too abrasive and do not work properly. to clean your laser it is best to strip down your 360, remove the dvd drive top cover and get a cotton earbud, spit on it and then very carefully with a clockwise rotating motion clean the lens this way. you may also need to re-align the laser to read 280-300 ohms as by the sound of it the laser might be set too high. we can offer a repair www.fixmyconsole.co.uk or if you want to have a go just pm us and we will try to help you step by step.

I installed homefront onto my hard drive to make my xbox 360 quieter but it doesnt say 'play from hard drive' and so i just select 'play game' and then it makes the same amount of noise....

You don't -play- the game from the harddrive, and nor does it make less noise if you install it.

When you install a game to your harddrive, it normally makes the game quicker to load, not for older games, I think Homefront is a "newer" game.

The benefits of installing the game is that your optical reader is less in use, that the game saves and loads quicklier and is normally better performance in-game.

Xbox 360 is loud - sounds like a loud fan motor. How can I make it run quietly?

You can try installing the game you want to play on the Xbox 360 Hard Disk, which reduces the motor noise to an extent, however there is no permanent way to fix the loud fan motor noise while playing the game with the disk in the drive.

Make sure you keep your Xbox 360 unit well ventilated, ensure it does not gather dust near the small vents and openings on the unit.

Loud buzzing noise

Mine is loud also when playing games. When playing DVD's it is not. I think it is a factory defect on some of the systems. I would not attempt to pull apart the DVD drive and try and fix it. It is working and on an XBOX 360 you should feel lucky that it is.
