Hi all,
I haven't posted here in a while, but here goes. A few days ago my xbox360 stopped reading 360 games and will only read original xbox1 games. The console in unmodded and I have used a lens cleaner to no avail. In help and insight would be helpful.

Thanks
Miggab

Sounds like the laser is worn out.

I would say either send it away to Microsoft to get it repaired. And if it is out of warranty or you don't want to pay M$ to fix it. Then try buying a replacement laser and fixing it yourself.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.


Best Regards,
Frozenfire1

Hi frozenfire1,
Thanks for the reply, but if the laser is worn out, why is it still able to read original xbox1 games?

Most xbox1 games are single layered where as Xbox 360 games are all dual layered. The part of the laser that reads the second layer could be worn out and that could be why. If you have warranty give M$ a call (if not they will probably give you a price to fix it aswell.)


Best Regards,

Hi Miggab,

Yeh sounds like your laser is warn.. Sad

I could only suggest what frozenfire has already + one more suggestion if your 360 is out of warranty.

- Send Back to M$ Under Warranty
- Replace the Laser
- Replace the entire drive (tutorials available)

hope you have a hdd or memory card so you can atleast play some xbox live arcade games.. Rolling Eyes
