    Why won't my new optical drive work?


    I replaced my Xbox one's optical drive with a brand new one and installed the original daughter board into it, but it still won't read any discs, neither Xbox one nor 360.

    We cannot assist with self-repair.

    [quote user="Auswolf7"]You gotta expect hardware failures with mass produced new tech.[/quote]Why must you.

    If I am paying £430 for something then I expect it to work, regardless of if it is a new product to the market or not. It isn't even as if optical drives are a new technology.

    Why do we install ?

    DRM.

    Day one patches/updates for Newely released games etc. Who ever heard of that before current gen? I never!

    If optical drives can't keep up, then why not do what Wolfensten does and simply put part of the game on the HDD and run the rest from the optical drive?

    Thus it is my firm conviction that mandatory installs R for corporate DRM policies.

    Xbox one discs wont launch.

    Before you try it, I can say with confidence that opening your console and simply replacing the optical drive yourself will not work, even if you buy an identical Xbox One drive.

    If you're in for a little electrical soldering surgery, though, refurbished Xbox One optical drives are available online for less than official Microsoft service prices. You'll have to open your system to identify exactly which model of optical drive you
    have, get a replacement with a good laser and all the other mechanical parts, but move your circuit board from your old drive to the new one so it will still be the same drive as far as the system can see. If your circuit board is good, this should work. Obviously,
    this is not supported by Microsoft, but it won't violate any of the anti-piracy policies because you're still using the same valid drive firmware and logic.
