Re: HELP
you can eject the drive and reach in with a cue tip to clean the laser. As far as cracking it open its your call it's easy to do. 7 slots in the back you stick whatever in to pop the clips and the 3 tabs in the front. The grills on each end you can stick a small screwdriver or whatever you got into the holes in the case to pop those clips. Once inside there are 2 wires on the back of the dvd drive and it lifts right out. Then you have 4 screws in the underside of the drive to remove the top cover. If it's the laser needing replaced which I would doubt thats the case it's inexpensive I mean you can get the entire drive new off ebay for under 30 bucks. On the other hand if you aren't comfortable working on it and for some reason cant get it fixed once you break the warrenty sticker MS won't work on it at all. You can find tips on steaming the sticker off though on youtube :-)

Re: HELP
what prob happened is that the laser is attached to a screw and the reason why its not reading disk is the laser is too far or to close to the disk. if thats the case then u gotta take it apart take the disk drive out , and get a screw driver and try tightening and loosening the screw while the xbox is still plugged in so that u can troubleshoot it while your trying to adjust the laser, eventually u will get it and the disk will turn over just like a car. go on youtube they def will have a video on it its a common prob that xbox will charge 130 bucks to fix.
