The Xbox - Dirty Secrets
VcdXposed:
I opened it up to try and clean it, but that didnt work, and ya i voided my non existant warranty. Im not much for technical stuff but i might give it a shot
hm_murdock:
run a DVD lens cleaning it it occasionally
VcdXposed:
I was reading about the microsfot registry thing, how they wont help u at all.... man this is kinda the same thing because they say not to use any solutions or anything to clean ur games or xbox....
VcdXposed:
microsoft put in a bunch of shitty hardware into some models, i think i got the shitty box.
skyman8081:
yeah, thompson drive.
those are the drives used in the very first batch's of the xboxen
later on it was discovered that they had problems after prolonged use (something very difficult to test for)
so MS switched to samsung, who makes better xbox drives. (and those play cd-r's as well!)
