Optical drive on xbox one

SpareAverage53 · Jan 1, 2018

My xbox optical drive model number DG-6M2S-01B went bad. Can I replace that drive with a one series model number DG-6M1S? Any thoughts? My xbox one is less than two years old.

Xbox One Optical/Disc Drive Replacement

Your disc drive will fail too!

lol Optical drives on the Original Xbox Console were junk. It took until 2004 for them to finally choose a manufacture of Quality Optical Drives.

Xbox 360 Phat (early gen 360's) were OK at best, but the Slim got an Optical Drive upgrade that were next to bullet proof. Don't know about the E models Optical Drives.

Xbox One's hit the market with a few broken Optical Drives right out of the box. Search "Day One Xbox One Drive noises/misreading..."

My X1, I have used for hours on end play Borderlands over the past 3 weeks, and thus far the only problem I have had is the system asking me if I own this game with the Disc in. Take out and reinsert the Disc, and all's well again. (Knock on Wood)

So I can only hope the Optical Drive is a quality one that will last long past warranties end.

Personal note: Do not put your finger in the center hole on the disc while inserting it. The Optical Drive will suck in the Disc faster than you'd expect it to. Thought I would loose my finger when it happened to me. That thing will not release the disc
until seconds later forcing you to loose some skin in order to get your finger out. Very painful.

Sounds like you have an issue with the optical drive in the unit. Since it's from 2014, I'm assuming it's an original Xbox One and more than likely out of warranty. Without taking apart the console to clean the drive, there are several optical disc drive
cleaning discs on the market for around $10 USD. I just did a search and saw several options. Many of them have a little brush that attempts to clean the optical sensor on the drive. At this point this would be something to try, otherwise you will need to
replace the optical drive or send the unit in for repair.
