My disk is unreadable

Hi there,

Try a different disc. The reason I say this is because if you try a different disc and it's still unreadable, then you have a problem with the laser lens inside your 360 and it needs to be cleaned. This voids the warranty so you aren't going to find any advice from Microsoft on how to do this. If you Google "Cleaning the Xbox 360 Lens", you will come across a ton of articles and YouTube videos on cleaning the lens.

However, if the other disc works then the problem is with the disc itself. It may be dirty or it may be cracked. If it's dirty, take some rubbing alcohol and a soft piece of cotton material to clean the disc.

Hope this helps.

My xbox keeps sya the disk is unreadable and i

Your xbox sensor is either dirty or broke this will make it not read any disc you can either buy a new one for about 40-50 dollars or you can open it up and clean the sensor or if it is cracked i would recommend getting a 360 elite for 300 dollars

Unreadable disc

Sounds like the Xbox is trying to find a piece of data that it need to go further and because of a dirty or scratched disk, it can't find it. If you want to verify whether it's your disk or your Xbox, go to your local game rental store and rent a copy of the same game to see if you have the same problem.

When im playing fallout 3 after a while the screen go grey and freezes or it says disk is unreadable and when i look at the disk it looks fine its not damaged or dirty or even scrached its a new disk

SOME DISC ARE PARTAILLY MELTED WHEN YOU BUY THEM OR GET TO HOT AFTER YOU BUY THEM. IN ALL CASES TRY ANOTHER DISC AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENS TO ENSURE THE LAZER IS READING PROPERLY. IF SO ITS TIME FOR DISC REPLACMENT. YOULL FIND IT AT XBOX.COM IN THE SUPPORT SECTION. HAPPY GAMING AND HOPE TO SEE YOU IN GEARS OF WAR TWO..

Random unreadable disc errors

I had the same problem but i sent it in. They said it was the eye reader error. Or the thing that reads the disc. Try buying a brand new game and try playing it. Alot of times when i have disc read errors i put the disc in where the xbox 360 part at the top goes in facing the xbox. Try that to see if it helps.

Xbox 360-Unreadable Disc

Hi...
Get the drawer to open and disconnect the power so the draw stays open. Get a can of Dust-off ( compressed CO2) at staples or radio shack.

Shoot a couple streams of CO2 into the unit from the drawer opening.

Reconnect power and try a game. Also try a DVD cleaning disc. Philips and Memorex make them

Unreadable disk

I suggest that you either have problems with the Xbox console or call Microsoft and tell them your problem and ask them if they can send you a box so you can send them your xbox so they can fix it. Also, another solution is if you have warranty get a new xbox console and dont give your hard drive back so you wont lose your memory, If any other question email me at [email protected] or response here at fixya.com.

Xbox doesnt read disks

If you have a Hard Disk Drive or Memory attached to the console, turn the console off and remove the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) unit and any attached Memory Unit (MU), then switch on your console and try the disc again. If this seems to resolve the issue, turn off your console, attach the HDD and MU again, and then delete any saved games for the game that is causing problems.
Note If it is possible to do so, save the games to a separate MU.
To find out how to remove and connect the Hard Disk Drive from your console, see the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Won't read disc's

theres a known problem with the hitashi dvd drive in the xbox 360.
the only solution to this is a home repair job, look up on youtube on how to do this, although this isnt recommended as it voids warranty.
so the best way is definitely just to ring microsoft and send ur console in for repair.
