My xbox has a repeating problem over an over again. It always appear message "please insert original xbox DVD" or "your disk maybe broken" or your "lens might be dirty".....it is occur even if I put the original disk.....

The problem will be solved only after I open the DVD drive and clean up the lens using alcohol and cotton bud. But what make me sick is the problem will always come again and again.....

I planned on to buy new DVD driver for XBOX.....anyone know where to find it and what cost will it takes???.....PLEASE HELP ME......I do love my 1st Gen XBOX

dont know bout the cost but...ur 360 lens prob for sure...may be u just need lens replacement.

not 360.....but the big black xbox 1 ...how much lens replacement is??...can I change the lens with normal DVD lens??

no u cant change it with normal dvd drive
event if u want to buy 2nd hand 360 drive must be same brand
like hitachi for hitachi..samsung for samsung

use normal pc dvd rom and Y cable...that will do, but you have to put your dvd 'out of the box'...

i had similar problem when i still had my old xbox ..love it..awesome media center

anyways..that error ah..involves flashing.PM me for details. touchy details.

Hi there!

I have a weird prob with my xbox. It can play ori ad 'ehem' DVDs fine. But until now, a problem arise, just borrowed a DVD and it won't play. (It's one of those 'ehem' DVDs)...(not prono laaaa!!).

I tried inserting two other DVDs, one ori and other ____ Yet it plays both fine. Tried the problem DVD again and the xbox says that it cannot recognize the CD still.

What gives??

may be the aheem dvd got a reading probs

Tried it on my PC and it works fine though.

yr dvd might be diff region.

Hmmmm, could be. My Xbox is a PAL, and the DVD might be an NTSC one.

ahem disc no region lock. clean ur DVD rom. if still cant the need to open it and clean.

alamak brother, i can sell u a modded set at this price. FYI.

If you're not planning to play games on it, you can just share your DVD Drive and access it from there.

I use my Xbox exclusively for XBMC now. It's still the best media center software out there.
