(We do not recommend this repair to anyone who is not experienced with repairing electronics) The first thing you will need to do in order to repair the disc read error jam is smash inaugurate the Xbox 360; this link will lunge you through opening your Xbox 360 console (you can search for disassembly of the Xbox 360 console) . Once you have opened the Xbox 360 you will need take and commence the DVD Drive. We are assuming at this point that you have know-how in opening your drive. Now that you have opened the DVD Drive you can tidy the laser lens with a Q-tip and a very exiguous amount of rubbing alcohol. assign the drive support together and you will want to test the drive before you establish the console relieve together.

One thing that you cannot do with the Xbox 360 DVD Drive is swap the DVD Drives due to a keycode that is on the drive controller board which is married to the motherboard. The keycode on the controller board will only work with that motherboard and if you do swap the drives then your Xbox 360 will not read any Xbox 360 Game Discs, it will only read DVD's at this point.

The Samsung and Hitachi drives do not require any soldering, but to swap the controller boards of the Phillips BenQ or the Phillips LiteOn Drives you will need to desolder the current board and solder to the fresh same drive. The last alternative is to copy the keycode from DVD controller board via your computer and some special software and serial card and install the keycode onto any working drive made for the Xbox 360.
