This is a great fix and I've used it even without an ohm meter, just by turning counterclockwise in small increments til it worked and it HAS worked on 3 different boxes. Thanks for posting this!!
Alright. So i watched 5 other videos all telling me to do different things with no success. Then I come to this one... Video may be shitty quality BUT it is by far the best explained AND it saved my 360 first try. Thanks a lot!!!
Update to video previously I stated that you can't go no lower than 3kilo/ohms well my xbox worked for 9 months at that setting and then she started tripping again not reading disc so I adjusted the laser again going below 3kilo/ohms so now I have it set at about 2kilo/ohms and she's working again so this is just a tip just incase 3kilo/ohms don't work for you
You absolute legend you've just saved my 10 year old Xbox 360, I just bought Forza Horizon & Crysis 3 then these problems started happening now you've fixed it for me. I've just got a slight grind upon initial spin up, any ideas?
Thank you so much! This has been a great tutorial video and has resurrected an old system that had been boxed up some years ago. My kids are delighted!
Lordy Lordy, DUDE, it worked. I have been messing with an old Xbox 360 disc drive for a very long time; trying to adjust various mechanical parts and making sure the glide bars are lubricated. Nothing ever worked as I hesitated to mess with the electronics. I saw your video and found out which of the ohm 'pots' did what. One is for CD and the other for DVD. Okay, did not have my Multimeter so I gambled. I took a small phillip screwdriver and tweaked the left hand side pot a very small amount to the LEFT. Did a test and immediately the Madden 15 Football Disc loaded up like MAGIC. You the Man :) Thanks Bro. I did not have a piece to hold the DVD disc in place while the drive unit was apart so I just put the drive unit back together with only 2 screws holding it in place.... Thanks again.
Thank You- My sons XBOX quit spinning - I used a kitchen knife and had the thing fixed in about 15 minutes - You ROCK man- Me and my son owe you a debt of gratitude
@state dec don't forget to do your digital volt meter ohm's reading and yes turn the screw to the left counterclock wise and watch your meter closely or you might pass the target of 3kilo/ohm's depends on what meter you have it might show on the display screen 3.000k/ohms,3.00k/ohms or 3.0k/ohms good luck
Jack Hammond Wow!! That's great you still have some life in her lol... mine is still kicking as we speak she has done me well Max Payne 3 here I come 😆😆
@Ken2REAL954 sorry for the late response I try to replay to your comment from my cellphone but that was a no go. It's better to use a digital volt meter to check the ohm's reading before you start to adjust the screw to know if you can make any adjustments. But you may try using an old game disc you don't care about and just free hand it until it start to spin the disc without a meter to see your ohm's readings you will have to turn the screw VERY slow or you may miss the target 3kilo/ohm's
Hey man, thanks for the video. Your fix WORKED! My XBOX 360 Elite is about 5 years old and stopped reading discs today. I tried cleaning the laser first and it was a no-go. So I put the multimeter on the POT and it was reading slightly over 5k ohm. I dialed it down to 3.5k ohm and BAM! Back to playing Destiny. THANKS BRO!
this is the 3rd version of this type video telling me to do this..and yours was by far the clearest. ;) thanks :) love the accent ;) "ahhh dare she goo" haha
I'm glad this video helped you. I was so excited to get it fixed I had to post this to help someone. I spent days browsing to find out how to it fix. If you have xbox live my gamertag is JACKKETT if you play online
oh miss lady u r the greatest..i was gnna buy a new disc drive with my next check but now ill jus buy more games xo wonderful video..i been searching for at least 6 months..a 1 excellent
This fix also works for playstation but you will need to know what dvd/cd drive you have to do the correct laser adjustments for the black xbox elite the ohm's reading should not be lower than 3k/ohm's
Thanks mate I'm a dad who's daughter desp wanted hers fixed I new what to do but forgot which and which way to turn the poteciometer vide is very clear and easy to follow thanks Jon
thanks that explanation was great and i got my sons 360 working again, food for thought i only set it to 3.17 and it worked but i imagine as it goes out from use getting closer to the limit of 3.00 would revive it for a short while peace and thanks again.
With help from my Ebonics translator, I tried this, and it works. I didn't use a multi meter. I just turned the adjuster a half turn counter clockwise and it worked. Thanks bro!
You are welcome they don't call me Fix It Chick for nothing, 🤣 I'm glad you back to playing your favorite game, please Like and Subscribe to the channel channel !
Did you check for the reading with the volt meter before you start turning the screw if so what were the readings before and after you finished it should be no lower than 3kilo/ohm's if you have it set at 3kilo/ohm's and if it doesn't work you may have to get another cd/dvd drive get back to me and let me know
This is Unbelieveable! I just wanted to say thank you, I just fixed my 10 year son who have 2008 xbox360 and it spinning got started up normal as you described with screws. I had tested the system turn it off and on again again It didn't stop spinning after disc installion! Thank you so much! This is my first time fixing and saved my 20 bucks seeking new disc drive. One more thing... after you fixed the stop spinning issues how long you had it with no problems?
Alexis Feliciano It worked for 9months at 3kilo ohm's and I had to adjusted it again to about 2kilo ohm's as of today its still working but it also depends on how often you play
+Yakira Cal so what of my Xbox doesn't read the disks like it says open and closing it opens fine but it makes a grind sound and won't close nor. read I don't have those screwdrivers ATM so I think I'm screwed and ideas?
thanks man it worked going it your way and can you please let everyone know that some Xbox original games do work on the Xbox 360 halo games haven't tried and I'll get a video to
To be honest I don't know for sure but me being me I would definitely give it a shot so hey go ahead and try it but always put safety first cause I didn't set a good safety example in my video as you notice I still had it plugged in but tried it at your own risk
I don't know if you will respond to this or not but I am having trouble with the screw. I turned it slightly and the screw came off. I tried screwing it back on but it won't go back on. Do I need to buy a new disk drive?
Yeah Yeah exactly what he said also if you buy a new disc drive you will need to use the circuit board from your old disc drive for it to work so make sure you get a solder gun and some solder wire to resolder the wires in the new disc drive
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you !
Just over 10 years later still helping people fix there consoles, thanks

Is there a way fixin it without taking it apart
You absolute legend you've just saved my 10 year old Xbox 360, I just bought Forza Horizon & Crysis 3 then these problems started happening now you've fixed it for me. I've just got a slight grind upon initial spin up, any ideas?
naz400r can you please explain how you did it?
@@pspspspspspspspspspspspspspss I followed the video guide using a multimeter. Is this what you mean?

That worked just fine with my 7 years old xbox 360. Thanks man
Thank You- My sons XBOX quit spinning - I used a kitchen knife and had the thing fixed in about 15 minutes - You ROCK man- Me and my son owe you a debt of gratitude
excited to revisit childhood classics. i just subscribed , thank you again. forever grateful.
@state dec don't forget to do your digital volt meter ohm's reading and yes turn the screw to the left counterclock wise and watch your meter closely or you might pass the target of 3kilo/ohm's depends on what meter you have it might show on the display screen 3.000k/ohms,3.00k/ohms or 3.0k/ohms good luck
Works like a charm, thank you for me it was about 1/2 a turn counter clockwise to get it from 7.9 kohms to 3.4kohms works great now
Jack Hammond Wow!! That's great you still have some life in her lol... mine is still kicking as we speak she has done me well Max Payne 3 here I come 😆😆
Worked as soon as i turned the screw, YEAHHHHH so excited thanks a million

Troy Gordon I actually had to adjust it again and had to go down to 2k ohm and its still working to this very day
You saved me from a craigslist scam. thanks so much man
Thanks mate. This helped me fix the final issue on mine. Thank you once again
With help from my Ebonics translator, I tried this, and it works. I didn't use a multi meter. I just turned the adjuster a half turn counter clockwise and it worked. Thanks bro!
hey everyone this person is smart it really does fix the issue I can show you
I just revived a 9 year old console and can now play Jet Set Radio Future again thanks to you. Forever appreciative 🤍🙏🏼
You are welcome they don't call me Fix It Chick for nothing, 🤣 I'm glad you back to playing your favorite game, please Like and Subscribe to the channel channel !
thanks i was just tweaking that around until the disc spinned & it worked

One more thing... after you fixed the stop spinning issues how long you had it with no problems?
I fix drives this way and they last a while depends how long you play on it for but mine lasted another 2 years
Alexis Feliciano It worked for 9months at 3kilo ohm's and I had to adjusted it again to about 2kilo ohm's as of today its still working but it also depends on how often you play

thank you so much all i did was turn it a little and boom worked
Holy shit.thank you so much dude.i didn't use a meter but I went with my gut n bam.it reads all my shitty disc
This defiantly fixed my problem thank up it helped
you're my new favorite youtuber.
Sorry tried everything and tested on both 3 and 2 kilo/ohms but no difference. looks like i'm going to have to replace the disk drive
Awesome! Thanks! Fixed my XBOX!
thanks man it worked going it your way and can you please let everyone know that some Xbox original games do work on the Xbox 360 halo games haven't tried and I'll get a video to
Omg I owe this lady a bucket of fried chicken

Hey Man, thanks a lot, i LOVE YOU u save my xbox life!!!
This worked for like 2 seconds then when I clicked play started doing the same thing again
Dank je voor deze geweldige info... Groet Henk, uit Nederland
Does anyone know what the other screw side should be at?
Smart lady.. Nice work!
Do you know If this would apply to an original XBox?
To be honest I don't know for sure but me being me I would definitely give it a shot so hey go ahead and try it but always put safety first cause I didn't set a good safety example in my video as you notice I still had it plugged in but tried it at your own risk
when i turned my xbox back on after i turend the screw it red ringed.... any tips?
Hey Steve how far did you turn the screw and what were your volt meter readings before and after
Bad quality but it freaking works
thank you so much I did what you said and now my Xbox is working again. again thank you
i cant believe that worked. ty!
Thanks just try it and it works thanks again!!!
you tap the shit outta that xbox u let it know whos its daddy and thats how
Dude you save my life.... thank you
ok the only THing I have to do is turn screw 10oclock left ?
Dude, I love your African-american accent. I'm not being the least bit racist, but I really do. :P
yes that solves the problem thank you!!!!
I don't have voltmetar, and I try free hand, but no succes..
BHTL. ba when you free hand you have to do it very slow in increments because you might move past the mark
I try again, and now it spin more than before, but still not Reading.. What if Xbox won't read CD for another reason?
Btw Thanks for Replay!
you are amazing this worked great for me im soo serious im so grateful for you and your video
I don't know if you will respond to this or not but I am having trouble with the screw. I turned it slightly and the screw came off. I tried screwing it back on but it won't go back on. Do I need to buy a new disk drive?
yeah bro..your gonna need a new one :/
Yeah Yeah exactly what he said also if you buy a new disc drive you will need to use the circuit board from your old disc drive for it to work so make sure you get a solder gun and some solder wire to resolder the wires in the new disc drive
Instructions unclear dick got stuck between Xbox and table
Thank you so much. It works
What if you don't have that tool u got
For anyone who views the video your are welcome to hit my Gamertag JACKKETT if you play xbox live online see you there happy gaming
Yakira thanks for the tip it worked great🖒
Aye it worked!!!! Helll yeah thanks alot bro. #mynigga
Bro Ur a genius
what if I don't have a volt meter
Terran Ovnicek you may free hand it by just turning the screw in small turns
omfg you are my hero
I have spare parts of 2 other xbox's so I'm gonna take the chip and swap the disk drive and see
Thanks it worked!!!
Thank you
HOLY SHIT I LOVE YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thanks so much!

Jessica Ballard you can adjust it without the meter you just have to turn it in very small increments
