Disc reading problem

All these disc 'repairs' do, is either:

A. Fill in the scratches in the layer with plastic (Doesn't work very well)

B. Sand off a small amount of the disc plastic surface, so the scratches aren't that deep.

Regular DVDs are thicker (even if it's micro millimeters), than newer Xbox 360 games. If you for example, take an Xbox 360 game from 2007, and then take one from today, you'll notice a significant weight and thickness difference. Disc repair methods normally
don't do anything to 'regular' thickness DVDs.

Unfortunately, because this is a 'newer' game, the middle of the disc (which is where the game ID and boot information is stored) probably got sanded or damaged. Your disc is probably useless if it doesn't work in any consoles.

Disc reading problem

Ii recently got my Saints Row The Third disc repaired, and when I popped it in the xbox, it didn't even recognize it as a readable disc. There's a story behind this, about a year ago, my game crashed and then obtained an infinite load glitch, I only just
recently thought to search the specific problem, an I was told to install the game, and when I did, the xbox told me it was scratched or dirty, so I went to get it fixed, and now it doesn't work. I've seen that it's suggested to replace the disc, but I don't
have the money to do that. Other discs do work, and it worked last night (sans infinite load glitch), any suggestions or workarounds? The disc is the version with all the dlc, I don't know if that changes anything, but it seems like it of some importance.

If you are doing nothing wrong, you won't get banned. It maybe the disk can't play because of the scratches. Do other games work OK??

Sadly, as of right now it is just that the console optical disc drive, or the disc drive itself has gone defective, and you need to set up a repair for the console. With this, you can set up a repair 1 of 2 ways:

1) Go to myservice.xbox.com and set up a repair there

2) Call 1-800-4MyXbox, and set up a repair through an agent.

I personally would choose the 1st option. No wait, and its pretty simple.

If you do need any help setting up a repair, please respond to this thread so that I may continue to assist you.

Hope this helps

This is the second Xbox x in a month doing the same and the reason I changed it was doing all the resets and wiping it completely it still doesn't work, it plays blu ray and games but not DVD. It needs to be sorted out especially as it's supposed to be
an entertainment system and so expensive!

Hey Taff thanks for keeping in touch.

We suggest
Requesting a Callback from one of our Xbox Support Specialists since this could be a licensing issue on the Blu Ray player side. Give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

Hey there Taff!

Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this problem.

To be honest, from reading over the troubleshooting that you have already gone through, it seems like you might have a hardware problem preventing you from running those dvd's. If that's the case, I would suggest creating a repair order for your console
at
device support or by contacting
customer support and having an agent help you with that.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks for reading!
