    Dead disc drive after alpha update?


    I'm on the Alpha build that just updated today, and now my disc drive seems to be dead. I can hear the Lazer moving, and that's it. Hopefully this is just a bug and a coincidence... Has this happened to anyone else?

    I have already submitted feedback via the feedback option on the console for this issue.

    Can't read game discs

    Mine had this issue prior to the June update, but after that it went away. Now tell me why after I buy Super Dead Rising 3 Alpha whatever, the issue came up again?

    1) insert disc

    2) No error, tile just says insert disc.

    3) I eject and the disc pops out a little then drive eats the disc again.

    4) Reads it properly this time.

    WTF.

    May 19, 2011 update. Taking forever to be applied!

    Thanks . I removed the disc and the update was applied much faster.

    Glad to help.

    It seem's that having a disc in the drive causes issues with any system updates.

    I did some research, and most of the people having disc reading errors after the
    previous dash update, had a disc in the drive at the time.
