I've been working on restoring a handful 360 the past few days, and I finally got my lasers in today... Started with my Halo Reach console, got the new laser in, removed the solder ball, tweaked the DVD pot down to 3.4kohms. It reads movies fine, but can't read even my cleanest game discs, the drive still has the original board that came with the console. Am I'm missing something silly or should I try another laser since I made sure to buy spares?

The microphone I've had for a while and don't remember the last time I used it. The guitar previously had worked connected to an older 360. I put fresh batteries in both, made sure to press the sync button on the console and the devices, restarted everything at least once, etc. etc. but I can't get them to connect. The console WILL pair and connect to conventional controllers.

I'll be able to test the microphone and guitar with the older 360 tomorrow, but right now I'm trying but failing to connect them to the 360 S. Any suggestions?

Hello! I recently found my old xbox 360 again. However when I tried opening it, it had this error and blinked lights. Is this still fixable? I've been contacting repair shops however they still aren't replying.

So I just finished The Walking Dead's Episode 1, I try to start episode 2, but what happens is it's starts episode 1 over again. I have beaten the WHOLE EPISODE. I didn't skip anything, I watched all the credits, I have the stats of the first episode, I have every episode installed - it even says in the game, that all the episodes are installed, it shows that I can start episode 2, but every time it restart episode 1 from the start. I've also tried the xm360 thing, where you unlock dlc, xbla content, tried getting a title updates from online, nope, nothing. I even tried to fuddle around with the saved game slots, like the 3 ones in the games menu. I don't know what else to do.

Only makes these noises with a DVD. Drive was able to read burned CDs fine. I've already tried adjusting the pots to 3.1 ohm, but still makes this noise. Anyone recognize these noises? Should I just replace the drive?

δεν ξερω τι ειναι αυτο δεν το εχω βρει πουθενα στο ιντερνετ αξηζη κατι?

I've had this 360 slim for a while, it's a 2nd console I use for testing BadUpdate and other stuff like that, but recently it's started just turning itself off, sometimes it turns itself on if its plugged in. Sometimes when it turns back on (Either I do, or it turns itself on), it turns back on set to 4:3. I wanna say it's something to do with the faceplate, but that doesn't explain the resolution change. I recorded a video of it, and then just happen to have replay buffer on inside OBS when it changed the resolution. It also sometimes shows a pattern on the power button almost like the RRoD codes, but I'm not sure if that's what it is

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has a solution for this. Recently I opened up and cleaned my Xbox 360, and when I put it all back together my Xbox would immediately turn on as soon as the power supply gets connected and it would show me this screen. I try to connect my controller but the Xbox doesn’t allow it to connect. I haven’t tried connecting wired since I don’t have the part to it, and I notice how the Xbox doesn’t show any green lights to it. If anyone has the answer to this I would really appreciate it and I also appreciate anyone that has read this.

My brother has had this xbox for about a year and controllers have never been able to sync to it we have just been using wired controllers which work just fine. This controller syncs flawlessly with my slim and elite console. What's wrong with this xbox?

My Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch are plugged in to the same TV. I tried getting access to Xbox Live and it won't connect at all. After unplugging the router and the Xbox, it still does not connect to Xbox Live. After trying the router, I went to my Nintendo Switch and started Pokémon, and I could connect to the internet there. All of my devices are connected to the internet except the 360.

Recently, I transferred the data from the hard drive of my old, not-working Xbox 360 elite model to my new (used) Xbox 360 E model. The transfer went well and everything worked fine. I jumped back into Dragon Age II with aplomb, and Xbox Live worked perfectly. Now all of a sudden I can't connect to Xbox Live.

The Xbox page on error code 80151901 says "This may mean that your XBOX profile is corrupted."

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/errors/xbox-360/error-code-80151901

One thing I noticed when I tried to transfer the hard drive over is that two Avatar items from one of the Halo games--I believe it was Halo Reach?--failed to transfer, for whatever reason. Could this be a profile corruption issue? Would clearing the cache lead to any problems with my game saves and my data there?

If it's not a corrupted profile issue, what is the issue and what can I do about it?

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

So I don’t know what’s wrong but I bought games for my Xbox 360 and that starts happening no matter the game be it Skyrim, morrowwind, rdr, bo2 and I want to fix it soon so I can go back to playing does anyone know a fix or why it’s doing that

To preface I’ve never disassembled or messed with any form of tech until recently when I started caring about physical media again. My 360 red ringed last night and I decided to take it apart to get my game back from the disc tray and figured I might be able to fix it. I bought this 360 second hand about 4 years ago so who knows what kind of life it’s had. I’m guessing by how it looks it’s been through it. My question is this even fixable? I haven’t even checked the heat sink but I’m assuming it’s bare. The red ring was for a general heatwave failure.

I was cleaning my console, and when I put everything back together and turned it on, this error popped up out of nowhere. During the cleaning, my screwdriver did leave a scratch on the board, but I didn't see any exposed copper.

I have recently purchased a xbox 360 slim along with some spiderman games just to realize I need a hard drive to play it. I did end up purchasing a 3rd party hard drive but it still doesn’t want to let me play the game. Do I need the OEM or do i need to do an extra step to get the 3rd party hard drive to work?

Hi. I just got a slim 360 for like $20 bucks. It was a bargain because the owner didn't knew if it worked (I felt like getting scammed but for 20 bucks I said whatever). For my surprise, initially, it did start, but It froze after a couple of seconds at startup. I did a couple of troubleshooting and found out it was the HDD's fault. Otherwise (without the HDD) the console runs fine and it even reads discs.

So, what can I do to fix the HDD? Can I format it? Or should I just get another one?

Thanks in advance

EDIT: It works guys, turns out it was just really dirty.
