Message "To play game put game in xbox 360 console"

I bought my son the xbox 360 from a pawn shop 45 days ago and of course the warranty was only for 30 days. When he puts a game disc in to play it says it is reading and then screen goes white and a message in several differnet lanuages say.."To play game put game in XBOX 360 console" What is the problem and how can I fix it. I already took the console apart and blew can air at the lens.

    Well, I've been having the exact same problems with my 360. This is the 3rd one I've owned and I've had to get the previous two repaired because of the same reason. Only this time, Microsoft says they won't replace this one for free, it's going to cost $100 for the repair fee. That is such BS, why should I pay them money to fix something that I already paid for that should work fine in the first place anyway??? This pisses me off to no end, and I really hope someone can figure out a way of fixing this cheaper and without having to go through Microsoft.

Pick up in the DVD is bad or weak and will need replacing.
Or replace the whole DVD unit.

Make sure the disks are clean and not too scratched up

The dvd drive prolly needs to be replaced. ive had this issue plenty of time before and it sometimes turned out to be the cd its self. the console might not be able to read the cd becuase of some kind of damage, try a dif 360 game.

if that dont work open up the cd and look on the dvd drive there will me a model number of a dvd drive. go to ebay.com or google.com and find a place that sells brand new or used but working dvd drive and purchase it and add it to the console. this will fix the issue of any reading cd problems.

make sure you purchase the correct dvd drive model

I bought and Xbox 360 elite 120mb consule today from a pawn shop. I got home and the xbox consule seems to be working however when I put game disc in they dont play. It says they are reading the disc and...

Try to wash one of your disks with dishwashing soap, just one is enough to do the cleaning. Start mixing the disks when they dont work, this will clean the lens. i had the same problem, worked fine for me.

I was playing halo 3 when my friend knocked over my x ox 360 now halo 3 does not work what do i do

Sadly if the Xbox was knocked over while the game was inside of it the game will be scratched. YOu can take it to a local pawn shop that sells a lot of video games and ask them to resurface it for you(most pawn shops dealing heavily in games will have a resurfacer). It shouldn't cost you more than 4 or 5 dollars, if that. Then tell your friend to pay attention.

Xbox 360 not working

Call 1-800-4MY-XBOX if you see red rings around the power light.  If you just bought it 7 months ago, it is still under warranty.  Do not use one of the custom shops who say they will fix the red ring errors as this will void your warranty with Microsoft.

Put this in an xbox 360 console

Did you try using a cd lens cleaner in the XBox 360 dvd drive? Check the cds that they are not scratched, and you could have your son try the discs in another XBox 360.
