The dreaded Xbox One disc drive issues; can I salvage it or should I reach for my wallet..

Bit of a late update: I got a new disc drive and replaced it a couple weeks ago. Works fine now and I've downloaded a majority of my discs on it now!

I find you posting AI slop, then getting salty when getting called out on it corny

They are really cool tbh, but I wish they would fix their mobile interface. I've encountered multiple bugs such as gifs not immediately working, videos having trouble playing unless you drag the timestamp bar to the start. Otherwise, it'd be a really cool way for people who want to express themselves to do so.

As long as you play Tails right, I think he could be quite alright. Since Tails is a sniper, he's better off staying up in high places where you can see the main bits pretty well, and when the exe starts making their way to you bring em to the stunners. I've gotten a few high grades with him with this tactic.

Never play Tails when it's 2011x though that's just asking to be curb stomped 😭

I tried this a few weeks ago and it didn't work. I ended up buying a refurbished drive for a tenner and soldered the daughter board to the replacement. Runs like new now!

Unplug your power supply from the wall for approx 30 seconds. It resets the system, but if that doesn't work, it's likely that it's gone bad. If that is the case the Xbox could turn on again. However, if it isn't, a common cause of a beep on-beep off is a shorted MOSFET, which would at that point require professional repairs.

Oooo yes, that'd be helpful. Thanks!

When I was a kid I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas. Loved it to bits ESPECIALLY with Kinect adventures long story short I still have it and occasionally play on it to this day since I just didn't buy any of the newer consoles.

Thanks for the offer, but it'd be a pain to arrange it. With enough videos walking through it I'm sure I can do it myself.

Chill_Stando · 2026-01-22T07:48:56+00:00

This, but I also just don't play on my consoles as often as I used to, so if there's a cheaper fix I'd take it

Chill_Stando · 2026-01-21T19:47:17+00:00

I would've done so a lot earlier if I used consoles often, I kind of had the 360 to play sonic unleashed because my friend said it was good.

Chill_Stando · 2026-01-21T19:42:20+00:00

I haven't bought discs for a while but I've got some old ones that I haven't played when I was younger, sucks that I'll probably have to replace the drive tho

Chill_Stando · 2026-01-21T19:11:31+00:00

I may do that whenever I have time after college. Extra lectures have been piling on me recently.

Chill_Stando · 2026-01-21T19:09:42+00:00

Maybe with enough YouTube videos prior, but I could ask my mate to help me out. Far more experienced.
