The DVD Drive Problem Thread


Diablo  IV

Recommended Posts

A customer sales representative called today, and they said a courier guy will come with a new 360 in two days, check if my console has been tampered with and if not, leave the new 360 and take back the defective 360.

 

Woohoo!

 

On a side note, I'm having problems with playing CoD4 on XBL. Everytime I search for a match, it goes into a black screen ie the screen before the loading screen, and then it crashes out, throwing up an error message saying 'can't join game' or something like that. Is it router related or console related? :(

My NTSC-J console got the RROD a month back. I gave it to this guy at Musafir Khana (Mumbai), who had fixed a friend's console's similar problem.

 

Wow....That guy must really be a pro to be able to fix RRODs on 360 and its good to hear its right here in MK :thumbsup:

Right, I called up Xbox customer support. A guy with a weird accent was at the customer care, and I told him about my woes. He then told me to unplug everything, replug the console in and try again. I did. Still no luck. Then he told me to try after removing the hard drive. I did it and it worked just fine. Then he told me to delete the game saves on my hard disk, and try again after reconnect it, and if the problem persisted, he told me to call again and mention a reference number that he gave me - in case the problem persisted, which it did.

 

I'm calling them again tomorrow morning.

 

Hi all,

 

Just joined the forum and have the same problem - GoW started giving "disc unreadable" sometime in Act 3, always at the same place, works perfect till that moment. What's up with this game!!!

 

Other games like Crackdown, FIFA 08 (tho finding it difficult to master), Full Auto work perfectly (at least for now). To further compound the issue, my console is US one. Called up MS customer support who gave me the same spiel about unplugging the hdd and try playing the game which I did and of course it works but that means starting from the top again. Not sure what to do - reading the posts above, seems its just a matter of time before it "spreads" to the other games and I just pre-ordered Soul Calibur IV :-(.

 

Any thoughts would be helpful here.

 

Thanks,

wackoid

dude try this, its very very stupid but u never know when it might work.

 

Place your 360 vertically and pop-in the disc, when its trying to read it, bang the surface of the dvd drive. It MIGHT work, i did that in my previous 360 and it worked like a charm
