Xbox 360 unplayable disk error fix- Trial and Error Methods

It is sad but true that most people, when they face a problem with their consoles, forget the standard procedures. These solve the problems in a surprisingly large number of cases.

Firstly, try to reboot the console after letting it cool down for a while. Then try and clean the optical drive lenses with a proper lens cleaner.Buff and clean all your discs with a clean cloth. Disconnect and reconnect the wires at the back.

If you have real xbox 360 problems with unplayable disc, these will obviously not solve the issue. Once these are out of the way, you can concentrate on figuring out available solutions.

Xbox360Fixer was a surprising result that came up while I was searching the Internet for solutions. They offer you a very cheap $13.95 self-help guide, which can solve all your Xbox 360 problems. Quite a few free solutions were provided on the site, which were very useful to say the least.

What's more, they provide you with solutions, which do not involve dismantling you console at all! You can also post questions to the owner Chris Collins and tell him about your problems.

How to fix xbox 360 unplayable disk- a few solutions

While a proper guide will help you with numerous methods, you can try out a few things yourself. Since the "Unplayable disk" error arises mostly due to a faulty optical drive, first check whether the disk is spinning properly inside the console. A gentle tap with the hand to get the disc spinning before you push it in might work sometimes.

A more drastic way to do it is to bang the console side until the disc falls into place and spins properly. This is obviously not a long-term solution so avoid it if you can. By far the most common problems with unplayable disks occur when the top of the drive spindle gets magnetized and attached to the roof of the optical drive Hitachi drives face this problem often.

If you feel brave enough, you can dislodge the top from the roof and glue it back on to the spindle very carefully. Fire up your Xbox once you have done that and you may find that your problem is gone.

Of course you can always replace the drive itself, but self-help guides offer you better options and do not burn a hole in your pocket when you look for an Xbox 360 unplayable disc error fix.
