How do I get my Xbox 360 to read discs?

call 1800myxbox and register the console with a rep, then mail it off to get a new one. unfortunetly thats what happens to 360’s but they will give you a new one, its happen to me 3 times already and i put up wit it because im addicted to xbox live.

I’ve heard of people purposely overheating their Xbox in order to get it to reboot completely and go through factory diagnostics. They wrap their Xbox in a bunch of towels (while plugged in) and keep it on for a while. I have never tried it, and probably wouldn’t recommend it, but if you are looking for a last resort before you send it in to Microsoft for repairs, it might be worth a shot.

I would send it back to Microsoft and get a new one

Why was my post removed….. it was legitimate advice!

@buckyboy28 The towel trick only works if you have the rings. It remelts the crappy solder into the correct place…. You’re supposed to have your xbox upside down when you do it so it can melt back “up.” It will not fix disc read errors.

Thanks @all.

get it a pair of glasses.
