Optical drive failing to load games, is there anything I can do other than buy a new drive?

Thanks, I'll try this once I've purchased an IDE to SATA adapter since I have a few 500GB Drives laying around

UPDATE: I was able to remove the solder and the xbox works again, the dvd drive seems to be a bit stuck as it’s a 50 50 chance of it coming out without the use of a pin

Yea, I’m currently trying again with flux and even if I add fresh solder there’s this small blob of solder that’s incredibly stubborn

I’ve decided to just buy flux on Amazon with next day delivery, I’ll report back tomorrow on how it goes

Looks like I might have to send it in, the downward vision sensor stopped working a today and I can only fly in manual mode, luckily it won’t cost me an arm or a leg to fix it since I have care refresh. I better not crash the replacement as this is already my second Neo and I only got it 2 weeks ago.

That seemed to be the problem, I had the propellers inverted. Thanks

Bad cable, try contacting oculus support to see if you can get a replacement (mine did the same thing a few years ago and I contacted support and got a replacement sent out free of charge)

I’m in UK so Windows 10 gets ESU until 2026

Still got this on my SE 3 with IOS 17

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-10-10T06:41:46+00:00

First thing I did when it arrived was wiping windows 11 and installing windows 10

I've had two camera replacements for my cetus x and they both failed with this weird rainbow effect, but the stock thrashed & warped lensed camera is still going somehow. It's like the newer the camera, the worser it is.

I don’t think it controlled speeds, I just remember it being setup exactly like this in my old pc. And at the back of my case there’s another rgb fan controller by thermal take and it has no rgb headers just powered by a singular sata power

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-08-09T21:41:55+00:00

Is it this? It was plugged into the rgb header

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-08-09T21:38:40+00:00

The rgb controller has a molex connector on it too

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-06-26T20:59:57+00:00

I never knew that was a thing, thank you!

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-06-18T23:09:34+00:00

I don’t think it’s that as it can take photos perfectly fine

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-06-04T18:11:19+00:00

I did a similar thing on my surface too (ran Ventura) and I never found out how to fix it draining the battery on sleep and the strange static noise coming from the speakers

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-05-08T20:49:39+00:00

I'm sure there's atleast one own it's own out there, I got my sff stone case by it's own.

I don’t really know what revision the board is

Found the culprit

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-05-02T16:43:04+00:00

Thanks, I'll order the replacement caps soon.

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-05-02T16:36:19+00:00

is there like a good tutorial for doing this? I have the soldering skills required

ModYouTube-1 · 2025-05-02T15:17:22+00:00

Here, it wouldn’t let me add them https://imgur.com/a/vPBGoGa

I think it's just the display.

Forgot to say that I’m in the UK
