The DVD Drive Problem Thread


Diablo  IV

Recommended Posts

Man, this sucks :cry5:

 

 

Purchased the Xbox a week back and got GTA 4 . I have played it for like 4 days now, approximately 90 minutes per day.

 

Today out of the blue I get "data not readable , please clean the disc message" ( something like that) .I open the disc for the first time after I put it in to find concentric circles formed on the DVD! ;)

 

Just to be sure I tried Gears of war for 30 minutes, and it also came out scratched, though to a lesser extent.

Now I`m afraid to put any disc in the drive. Please Help, and also provide Xbox support numbers if possible .

3. Be polite (i know its extremely tough to do so what with a craptacular console problem but don't take it out on the tech support staff, it's not their fault).

 

Now that will require some serious self control, and i cant find an iota of it right now. Thanks for the heads-up though.

Hey man, it's not your fault, MS makes shitty consoles to begin with.

Dont worry bRo... This same thing happened to my friend (xbl gt: GUNSHARK 360) jes 3 days ago. He too had the same problem of getting his game discs getiing scratched. He call called the customer support and explained to them bout this thing... In 2 days he got his console replaced. but this replaced console obviously wasnt a brand new one.

Congrats on the 95%! Also do keep us posted on what happens to your 360. You told them it RROD'd right?

Called up the tech support today and luckyly got through in one try! The executive took details to register me in to their datatbase along with product serial no. ( Does this mean if I sell the console in future, the buyer has to re-register??)

 

Once I mentioned the issue she told me she would get the xbox replaced in about 5 days but not the game disc. I explained it to her that my brand new disk is now scratched due to a problem with the console and in all probability I wont be able to use it even on a new replaced console.

 

After my insistence, she agreed to document my complaint regarding the disk but did not give an assurance that it would be replaced. :lol:

 

 

 

 

well they are saying that they would replace mine

 

Are they replacing the damaged disk too?

Yes, thats exactly what the call centre person kept repeating, despite me telling her that the console was placed on a stable surface.

Damn, I have used so many drives, drives in comps, drives in DVD players , drives in PS2 , a cheap cd player brought on footpath of SP road( B'lore) none of them scratched the media I used.

 

To top it all, when I mention this, the support person goes like " Since the drive speed is much higher than a regular drive , it has to be used with caution" :P

 

I am waiting for the console to be replaced now and if the GTA dvd is not working, I will hold them responsible and persue the case further. They are liable to replace it. I cant let go of my 2.5k that I paid for the disc which I cant use for no fault of mine.
