Title: Xbox Dvd Drive Help!
Post by: hilltopper on November 28, 2006, 01:46:00 PM
Hello all!

My xbox DVD drive was not closing or opening, but was spinning. (ie. the tray would not move but the spindle would spin).  I did a tray realignment and now the tray opens and closes but I do not see the spindle spin.  (The laser does move).  When I power on the xbox my DVD drive is immediately ejected and the power light starts to flash green.  The tray is then loaded on it own and after a few seconds is ejected again.  The whole tome the light is flashing green.  After it is ejected I can not do anything with it.  Pushing the eject button does nothing, I can force the drive into place but nothing happens.  I can disconnect the yellow DVD cable and then the light stays solid.  My xbox loads to the dashboard without a problem and has no mods or anything installed.  It is about as stock as they come.  Any ideas, or should I just get a replacement drive?  Thanks.
