Yours are the best most complete purposeful tutorial I have had the pleasure of seeing! six year old son woke to his first 360 (Dec 25th)given to me for free as broken and unfixable! Merry Christmas & Koudos to ya!

Guys, keep in mind, when you mess around with a laser's voltage, do it only with a multimeter to understand exactly how it does change, and you should know what disc drive's brand you're fixing because they are not the same, having different voltage range.

Found the issue. Turns out the laser was going to far to the end of the disks. I only looked at it because of your video. Thanks for the help and for posting that! Much respect!

one quarter turn to the left is all it took for me, thanks alot pretty awesome of you to put such a thoughtful and thorough informative video.

I've been trying to fix my stupid disk tray for a while now but no such luck. I've cleaned the laser multiple time, no luck still. So I was a little bit iffy at first about the laser screws but at the same time it was already not recognizing my disks so I couldn't really make it any worse. So I did the quarter turn and bam! It fixed it! I can't explain how grateful I am to you for posting this. I followed everything you did and my problem was fixed and you and your video were the solution to my problem :) Thank you so much! I'm going to subscribe to this kind fellow and support him for his helpfulness to the community :) Thanks again

Turned the left screw 1/4 turn CCW and BAM!! Works perfectly. No more need for a new xbox! Thank you so much

[SteampunkPrincess]

Thx so much. Had 2 issues with my xbox360.(1) Disk drawer staying stuck in &, (2) not reading disks/open tray error. Now, thx to your video, I have sorted both issues & have a working xbox again, much to the delight of my 8yr old son! Thx again :D

[kevinhenson]

Thanks for the in depth video. I turned the left screw on the eye a couple quarters to the left and now mine is fixed! :D

Thanks for this, I've been having problems for a while with games not reading and after watching your vid I tore my 360 apart and got it working perfectly.

[JonGomez]

Thanks man. I did the four turns on the first screw and now it works like new. :) And my xbox lens is all black too. Save me from having to buy a new one thanks again ^-^ and im subing lol

[freddieg]

You're a boss! I had to buy a new laser for mine but it still didn't work after that, I watched your video and did the rail fix and it worked. You sir are a fantastic man! Thank you very much

[DrakeTeran]

A very big thank you for your tutorial.  Once I opened the DVD drive I noticed the laser mechanism pushed all the way back.  I re-positioned it closer, cleaned it and no longer am experiencing the 'Open Tray' issue.  Kudos sir!

I'm amazed!! This truely worked. Took apart my jasper 360 and lite-on dvd drive and cleaned laser lens with alcohol and took out the spinning mechanism and lubricated it as described in this video. When i cleaned laser lens, I pulled up a whole lot of yellowish stuff off of it and it soaked into the q-tip. Put back together and tested all 6 games that the Open tray error was occuring on and they all loaded with NO problems three times in a row. Thank you durhamazhogan for this video. U just saved me $50 and a whole lot of soldering headaches. This truely worked for me. homie!!

[Exrayz]

Hey bro I wanted to say thanks. The video helped me a lot with figuring out the problem and I successfully repaired my optical drive.

[schylercarmine]

this goes out to the maker of this video THANK YOU SO MUCH you just saved me about 150 to 200 dollars from needing to buy a new Xbox 360 and again THANK YOU!!!

[ancientiron]

Dude! I'm just beyond stoked right now I almost forgot to say I love you!! No homo. So awesome that you had several different types of fixes for this problem because the quarter turn to the left on the left screw did the trick. Thanks again! Cheers!

[regulushero]

The quarter turn is surprisingly effective. Great video.

[hammwallat]

Holy crap! thank you so much. believe it or not, it was the left screw on the laser turning it a quarter turn to left that fixed it. crazy how something so tiny can screw up an xbox so bad. i appreciate ur post. saved me serious cash
