    Help not reading

    Hi there, and thanks for reaching out. My name’s Aileen, and I’m an independent advisor here to offer guidance. Just a quick note, this is a public forum, so I can’t access or make changes to your device.

    It sounds like your Xbox is having an inconsistent time reading discs, which can be frustrating. Since you’ve already cleaned the lens and confirmed the issue happens with multiple discs, here are a few simple things you can try that don’t require any extra cost:

    Change Power Settings

    Go to Settings > General > Power options and make sure you're using Energy-saving mode. This shuts the console down fully and can help with disc drive resets.

    Try a Full Shutdown

    Hold the Xbox power button for 10 seconds to turn it off completely, unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in and test the disc again.

    Insert While on Dashboard

    Instead of having the disc already in, boot up your console to the dashboard and insert it. Sometimes, the drive responds better this way.

    Since replacing the drive isn't an option right now, this might help as a temporary workaround. Long-term, you might want to consider installing digital versions of games you already own, if eligible.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.
