I keep getting an error on my x box saying there is a problem with my disc, it may be dirty or damaged. It does it on most of my games after a while of playing. Even brand new ones so it cant be the disc. I've tried a lens cleaner with no affect. What could it be? is there a website i can go to for help?
Yep its the DVD drive i have a launch xbox happened to me about a year ago so i rang Microsoft and they picked up my xbox fixed and returned it in 5 days. For free
Yeah. £45 ish for a new Panasonic drive, then you just unscrew it all, pull out the old one, pop in the new.
I messed it up first time, as it wouldn't work, but a quick fiddle and I fixed it.
Being an utterly impractical fool, I was rather pleased.

Easy though, isn't it? (though perhaps not so easy on the wallet)

No warranty, I had to do it myself.
Fraid that's your DVD Drive going. You can get a new one on Ebay for around £30 if your warranty has already run out. If not, Microsoft will do it for free.
I got mine done by them just before the end of my warranty (phew!). Mind you, I've fitted a few since then and they're pretty easy to install, just a few screws, a power plug and ribbon cable.
