The background is a video showing the menus on the Xbox dashboard. I even changed some of the system sounds for Xbox dashboard sounds.

Need help with disc drive problems!

2 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. I have a philips drive that will take forever (like up to 10 mins) to read some discs and only plays halo ce i have found out. I have cleaned the laser, nothing still. I adjust the potentiometer only from .70 to .80 cus i was scared that i would fried the laser. what other options are there that arent just replacing the drive and/or getting new caps? I have never soldered in my life so if replacing caps is the only way, how easy of a first time job is it? thanks!

edit: i also forgot to remember i tried another drive i had a from a different xbox. I dont remember if that one was operating fine but that one also took forever/ didnt even load.

Who here had really good luck with these Samsung DVD drives? Because they are probably my favorite DVD drive to use, especially if they are recapped(if needed). It’s also plays like anything you throw in there, even burned media.

Last console I bought on eBay took a dump on me, so i had to return it and ended up going with a Verified “eBay Refurbished” seller, and got this beauty. Came in super clean, and operating as if it was new. It’s a 2005 model (so 1.6 maybe?) so I’m excited about that. The nostalgia is just hitting hard today, so I figured I’d share. 🤙

for some context : I've just dusted off my old OG Xbox, it played fine before I set it back in the closet, but not it seems to shut off completely at random only in games, could it be overheating? failing capacitors? it turns right back on after it shuts off, please help!

Dr. Muto is a very fun 3D platformer developed by Midway. I'm really enjoying it and highly recommend it for fans of Oddworld, Tak, or Scaler. Gives me some Ratchet and Clank vibes, too.
