Xbox one won’t read discs, even when doing the hold and release method

My disc drive doesn't read discs sometimes but if I hold the disc longer when it trys to pulll it in it reads them. I've had my XB1 since week one of it's release. It's also my go to for watching blu-ray movies and it's still chugging away. Knock on wood.

Hey this worked for me on my day one Xbox ONE. Same issue doesn't read the game or blu ray. This sounds weird but when inserting the disc hold it and wait till it tries to pull it in and hold for about two seconds. After awhile you will notice the disc will
be sucked in a little bit faster (might be hard to notice) and then it begins to read. I have noticed if you just allow it to suck in the disc normally the disc goes and it doesn't even read or know the disc is even in there.

I never knew I had this problem till I purchased a second game and took the disc out for the first time which was a week after my crappy warranty ran out.

Why does my Xbox series x 87 days old not play any disc whatsoever ?? Won’t play Xbox one game Xbox 360 dvd or Blu-ray won’t play anything it’s the 5th Xbox on the spin to do this ? What’s going on with these crappy drives and power mode ( Microsoft won’t admit there’s a massive problem with their disc drives ! That’s facts

YouTube has like 50 videos of people not being able to play a game they own on disc I think I’ll get full refund and buy PS5 no way will a Sony product not read discs

Sorry to hear it. This could be an issue with the disc reader. Try holding the power button on the console for 10 seconds to see if that helps.

If id does not then you can try holding the disc for 2 seconds when the console grabs it to force it to read. NOTE: This method is not recommended as it could scratch the disc. Ultimately your best option would be to set up a repair of the console.
