  1. Xbox One Disc Drive Failing?


    So my day one launch console is starting to have issues reading discs. I will put in a disc and it says that it is having trouble reading it. I take it out and put it back in a couple of times and it finally reads it. Shouldn't this be covered by the replacement
    program with the disc drive errors?

    :)

    Xbox One disc drive still necessary thanks to ‘bandwidth and game size’

    You've probably heard that the disc drive for the Xbox One was considered non-existent one time for the design by Microsoft, making it a digital-only device. But thanks to this article I saw, it's still there.

    Microsoft's Xbox One's disc drive still necessary

    What do you think?

    Hey there, you can try and trouble shoot following the steps here:
    support.xbox.com/.../disc-error


    and it should be covered under warranty as I thought they had a standard 1 year? Cutting it close though, you might also want to check the return policy where you bought it from. You can arrange a repair through here:
    myservice.xbox.com/.../Welcome.aspx

  5. I am not talking about the standard warranty for repair. I am talking about the specific program they had to replace the consoles with new ones that had the disc drive problems.

  6. I believe that would have only been valid during the beginning, I mean you can contact phone support and try and find out, I don't think you'll get an answer here:
    support.xbox.com/contact-us

  7. So basically you are saying that this forum is worthless?

    No, what I'm saying is if you want an official answer quickly, contact phone support.

    If you want to wait around here for an official answer, you might not get it as quickly, though I can foresee them saying that offer was only valid for day one buyers or within a certain period of time around the release of the console.

    I've had a quick search and cannot find any related information about this so called 'replacement program', they've only said that during the release window, they will replace faulty disc drive consoles as it's affecting only a small amount of users. They're
    not just going to replace faulty disc drives on a year old console or if not within the warranty period.

    Just because you didn't get what you wanted, doesn't make these forums worthless.

    contact support and tell them you want "advance exchange" otherwise you will have to wait 3 weeks or more for a repair.

  10. In order to do an advanced exchange they want to put a $400 "hold" on your credit card. Yeah, they can forget that. I need someone from the official support to respond to me in a private message on this as soon as possible. And to DigitalAssassin - my warranty
    is good until February according to the official Xbox device registration website.

  11. heh. my disc failed in about two weeks when I bought my xbox one last year when it first came out. took about a month for it to come back. just as well I also paid extra to have an extended warranty put on it too, since the blu ray drive is showing signs
    of failing...

  12. Hey there, Alazam! I'm very sorry to see that you are currently experiencing issues with your disc drive not reading discs every time you put them in! I completely understand how this can be frustrating, and want to make sure that you can get this resolved
    as quickly as possible.

    The only "replacement program" for disc drive errors I can think of is the replacement of consoles that have been identified as not being able to read discs at all and receiving a specific error code. If you check your

    system's OS
    and you are on the current release of the operating system, your console is not part of this group of consoles.

    Your console's symptoms here suggest to me that you may need to send your console in for a repair. You can
    contact us via phone or chat support to set this up, or use our
    Online Service Center to set it up by yourself. Please let me know if you have any questions! Xbox One Disc Drive Failing? :D

    Dead Space 1 not reading

    Hi,

    Unfortunately it sounds to me like your Optical drive has developed a fault. There are two lasers in the drive assembly, one for reading Xbox 360 games and movie DVD discs and one for reading Xbox One and Blu-ray discs.

    To see if your drive is failing, try playing regular DVD movie discs (not an HD movie discs as these are on Blu-ray format). If the DVD films fail to play then your drive is faulty and you'll need to send the machine to have this repaired.

    Xbox 360 games are on DVD discs.

    What would you like to see in an Xbox One Slim

    Love for them to make a reliable console that has a working disc drive. No reason the Xbox One disc drive should fail in a year if it downloads the game to your console!!

    Disc drive on Xbox one no longer recognized

    I recommend you follow the steps on this page: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/console/disc-error#0f5833efb983482aa7de9b94f7ff68aa.
    It might help resolve your issue with the disc drive.
    If the suggestions from that Support page don't work, then the disc drive might be failing.

    I have a Day One Xbox One, and I'm pretty sure my disc drive is failing too. It does read games.. eventually. I usually have to insert the disc a couple times before the console recognizes my physical games / movies.

    mw3 wont load

    Are you perhaps using the same hard-drive as before? If so it might be your hard-drive is failing and its not the game.

    There are several things you can try to find out if it is your hard-drive.

    The simplest one is to remove the hard-drive, then attempt to play the game. If it works with the hard-drive removed then its a hard-drive issue.

    The newer software on the disc itself may be failing due to communication errors between he disc and hard-drive

    Here is a link to a Disc Drive Solution

    support.xbox.com/.../disc-drive-solution

    Also if you do wipe your Disc off make sure you are not doing it in a circular motion. Just a lil tip.

    Disc Drive App

    Never has been a disc drive app on the Xbox One platform. There is a notification icon on the dashboard if you have a disc inserted, but this has never been an 'App'.

    If you have to keep removing a disc and re-inserting it to play, there is clearly a hardware fault with the console. If your Blu-ray drive is failing, a 'disc drive app' would make no difference.
