  1. Xbox One scratching all of my discs


    I bought an Xbox One S 1Tb brand new at the Source about a month and a half ago. In the last few days I noticed it has started scratching my discs. It is lying flat and it never gets bumped. Mass effect andromeda is probably no good now, a bunch of other
    games got scratched slightly and you can tell it’s from the machine, they aren’t normal scratches. It’s lucky I caught this when I did or all 10 of my games would be no good in a matter of weeks and Christmas would be absolutely ruined (more than it already
    will be). I don’t have an Internet connection at home, what steps do I take to send this lemon machine back? Will my Mass effect game be replaced or will I have to take that to small claims court?

    :)

  2. Xbox one scratching discs

    it makes a grinding noise which it didnt a week ago ? We moved it from one room to another and that seems to have caused the problem ?

    it is just over a year old so i presume i will have to get it serviced but so annoyed as just out of warranty.

    Xbox one scratching discs

    Hey Catatonic,

    Sorry to hear that you are having problems with your console.

    Does your console make a noise when this happens? In addition, ensure that the console is placed on a hard flat surface in a horizontal position with room on both the sides and top of the console for an air flow. This sounds like more of a Hardware issue,
    so if it persists, I would take it back to the place of purchase for a replacement/refund if under warranty or get a Console service by visiting the

    Xbox Service Centre
    .

    Regards

    New Game Case Problem

    [quote user="Wikkiwild1"]

    I've had 4 Xbox's and none have scratched any discs. No cases have scratched any of the discs either. It all comes down to how you remove the disc and place the disc in the case.

    As far as the Xbox goes, don't place it on end. Lay it flat so the disc will sit securely in the tray.

    Disc's can be unbalanced from manufacture. My Skyrim disc is like this, it isn't scratched but it hum's loudly when playing.

    Just take extra care when handling the disc. It's all you can do.

    I've also had four Xbox 360 consoles, and my second one did some minor disc scratching. Just because something hasn't happened to you doesn't mean it can't happen.

    Why is my Xbox one scratching all my discs?

    I understand that any kind of console or player can do this, I've just never had any of mine do it. I religiously check all my discs before and after to check for that kind of stuff, so when I opened a new movie, and seen what this console did, I was shocked bc I've never had anything do that before. I still have my dvd player from when they first came out, and it doesn't even scratch my dvds. I've only ever had issues with my Xbox one console. Thank you for your reply.

    Why is my Xbox one scratching all my discs?

    I'm sorry this has happened to you, but discs being scratched is not an issue solely associated with Xbox consoles. Any console or DVD/Blu-ray player can have this fault.

    What has likely happened is either the laser diode itself or some other foreign object has become attached to the diode and has scratched the discs when the drive was spinning. A normal working drive does not physically touch a spinning disc.

    As for your discs themselves, there are things you can do to try to salvage them. Minor scratches can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. However, deeper scratches may require more specialised tools and techniques

    One common method is to use a disc repair kit. These kits typically include a polishing compound and a soft cloth. The polishing compound is applied to the disc and then buffed in a circular motion. This helps to fill in the scratches and make the disc more reflective.

    Another possible method that can be used to repair scratched Blu-ray or DVD discs is to use a disc resurfacer. Disc resurfacers are machines that use a rotating abrasive wheel to remove a thin layer of material from the disc. This can help to remove scratches and make the disc more playable. How successful they are depends on how badly your discs/s are scratched.

    Warning: Putting a disc through such a device more than once can render a disc completely unplayable, as too much material would be removed.

    The option would be to look around for a oppressional to try to clean your discs.

    Whatever you do, do not put any more discs into this console. It will need to be repaired or replaced now.

    Unable to read discs

    Are the discs scratched at all? If so you might have to get a new disc replacement. Usually if you scratch the Xbox circle on your disc it stops working.
