Xbox problem - DVD reading issue

[Robert]

I have one of those original Xbox machines. It's been having trouble reading games on DVD discs. When a new scene needs to be loaded, it will complain "cannot read disc - it may be dirty or damaged" or something like that.

So, I thought the DVD drive was the problem. I bought a new DVD drive and installed it. Still, the same problem occurs for games on DVD.

Any ideas?

I'll open it up and see if the fans are working. Maybe it's a cooling issue. It bugs me! We have lots of family games we'd like to play.

And it plays your original xbox games as well... :)

You could probably get a used original xbox for next to nothing these days, and I dont think its worth to spend any more money on the xbox that you already have.


Xbox360 owners are welcome to add me on Xbox Live! The fretnet clan anyone? :D

Just an update - I changed the DVD drive but could still not get the darn thing to work properly - so I bought the Xbox 360 instead... :)

Anyone need a couple of Xbox DVD drives? ... :beer:
