Newbie
Im a newb here but not a total newb.
I picked up a used 360 off CL that i knew worked (no RRoD) but wouldnt read discs. I was thinking a quick lens cleaning or drive swap and i would be good.
Uh.......no.
Boots up fine and goes to the dashboard. With no disc in it reads "open tray". I put a game in and it says "reading" and after a few seconds it goes back to "open tray". It had a Phillips drive BTW.
I took it all apart and blew the bust out the console and cleaned the lens but no change.
I got another box with a good Phillips drive so i put that in the CL box and it would recognize a game in the drive but when i went to play it, it would go to a white screen saying "To play the disc, please put it in an xbox 360 console".
So thinking MAYBE that drive wasnt any good i took another Phillips drive out of my personal 360 I use for Live and put it in the CL box. This time i recognized the game again and when i went to play it, it started to go to the next screen where you would see the splash screen for the game but would it go back to the dashboard.
I swapped both the cables from the mobo to the drive so.....uh.....anyone got any ideas.
