Anyone else miss the disc trays? You know the ones. When they didn't break unless you straight up snapped the tray out of the drive.
dude I remember when we used our pc disc trays as cup holder...
Thanks this definitely solved my issue. Much appreciated my guy.

lol.. my daughter put like 3 coins in there. i know the feeling.
You don't have to solder, there's 3 screws holding the laser just swap that if you don't want to swap and solder the board.
Thanks this helped me re set the drive as it was not in the slot correctly
You are very welcome:)
I wonder if you can swap an Xbox series X Blu-ray drive with an Xbox one X Blu-ray drive because they are both 4K ultra Blu-ray
Great video, very instructive! ✌🏼😁

Excellent job, my series X has the same problem

Bro the console just came out I can only imagine the next 5 years to come
Bruh the next xbox system gonna be trash just because of these faulty disk drives obviously microsoft fuckin up ther owen system on purpose just to make you spend more money after the fact that you all rdy paid 600$ for the system to begin with
Hmm skeptical, you don't even show it powered up and showing it working. Can't find the drive either on ebay. Only ones you can find are for Xbox One X
Thank you!! I was able to fix my disc drive with this video after you commented the part number. Saved me lots of time without my Xbox and saved me lots of money!

nice work same when xbox one s
What is the actual Blu-raydrive number for replacement for
I tend to remove the old solder and use my own because factory jobs seem iffy
I've done this as well alot of the time.
Very instructive, good tutorial, why do you have to swap the boards though? Is there some sort of firmware lock where the boards will only work with the Xbox they were shipped in or what?
Yes, the two boards are married to each other. Meaning that the disc drive will not be able to function unless it is plugged into its motherboard.
Is that the same lite-on Phillips dvd drive that is used in the Xbox 1, Xbox 1s and Xbox Series X ? Thanks
We have not tried that yet, but from the looks of it they look the same.
So if I have a different series x I have to swap the daughter boards to get it to work with my good series x?
Correct
I've got my replacement disc drive and just ordered a soldering iron kit from Amazon. I have 0 relevant experience so...wish me luck!
We believe in you!
How did it go?
I'm embarrassed to say that I haven't even done it yet purely due to procrastination @@carlesmr1835 😅
Hey bro can you make a video when you take out the disc drive and one of the cables comes off and how to put it back
Hello, thanks for commenting. Please email us at support@joesge.com with your question. We will be able to better assist you there. - JoesGE
Can you not just replace the whole cd drive
where did you get your disc drive from I can't find one on ebay or Amazon
We will soon be selling disc drives for the Xbox Series X
Ok this is now 3 months old. Great video but what is part number and where can you get new drive? I can't attempt this fix without a drive.
We will soon be listing all the parts for the Xbox Series X. Here is the disc drive number. DG-6M5S-03B is the model number.
Where can I buy a replacement disc drive? I'm unable to find it anywhere online
im looking as well
Stay tuned. We will be listing the parts for the Xbox Series X soon:)
@@Joesge awesome !!
I just bought one on EBAY for 30 bucks shipped.
I couldn't find it anywhere else.
Could you recommend a disc drive replacement & whete to buy?
We should be listing them somewhat soon.
Hello,
my XBOX SX is 4 months old and suddenly it no longer read all the discs. Some with luck after many tries.
Is the disc drive broken?
It tries to read but keeps aborting the process.
Yes, It's probably the disc drive . If you would like, you could definitely send your device to our repair center. Here is the link to our website 👉www.joesge.com/pages/repair-service - JoesGE
Is the consle still fully functional without the drive if you have downloaded games?
Yes
Is the daughter board not included on the one I’ll buy from Amazon or eBay?
The only daughter board that will work with your console is the one that is already installed. They are married to each other from the factory.
only the father is on board
My series x reads blu ray discs fine but wont read dvd discs. I tried a bunch of dvd movies and backwards compatible 360 games and none loaded. What is the problem, and is it an easy fix?
I have yet to come across this issue. If it is reading Xbox one games, and normal blue ray it may be that the software isn't capable of reading out of date discs. I would certainly be surprised if that was the case but its possible. Please email us at support@joesge.com with your question. We will be able to better assist you there. - JoesGE
Just wondering if this does this fix the E100 issue?
Most of the time, the E100 error is a storage drive issue. I have not seen it fix the issue, but it potentially could.
Can I use a disk drive from an old Xbox One S for my Series X? Having disk reading issues lately
technically yes, it should work, but it might not be able to read certain discs.
Anywhere I can buy a new disk drive? Mine just keeps rotating the disk for 5 minutes and doesn’t let me play.
Hello, we do sell the part here 👉 www.joesge.com/products/microsoft-xbox-series-x-1920-repair-replacement-spare-parts?variant=41045386428462
Can you just remove the disc drive and leave it out? I never use it. It's just taking up space in the case.
I'm not sure if you can. Please comment back if it works.
would it be possible to do th8s with no soldering, like remove the actual drive from the chassis and replace with the new one?
also any links where to buy?
You will have to solder the daughterboard so you can remove the board from the old disc drive and install it into the new one.
@@Joesge thank you for the reply Joe, I did manage to find out the following information:
if the drive isn't working due to lens, for example can not read discs, then no soldering is required, as you're able to unscrew the motor and move the motor and board to the new drive.
if its the motor that has broken which seems to hardly happen, the soldering is required.
thanks again for the reply and hope this Info helps in the future.
I was told the disc drive is encrypted to that specific xbox and can not be changed and a new one will not work. Is that true?
Yes, but as long as you swap the daughter board on the disc drive you will be able to swap the disc drives also.
Hi there. I was just wondering. My console seems to be playing the majority of discs however some don't even recognize when inserted. ( fully clean ) Do you reckon this would be a faulty laser lens or disc drive issue?
Thanks.
Could be a defective disc drive. But i have not seen that issue.
@Joe's Gaming & Electronics when I put the game in it sounds like it's trying to boot and then stops. Does this 3 times and then no noise whatsoever.
@Joe's Gaming & Electronics
Update: I followed the steps in this video and opened up the disc drive on the series x and I did the same on the Xbox one s. Instead of soldering off the bit, I unscrewed (3 screws) the piece underneath which contained the laser lens and moved that whole piece from the xbox one s into the series x and vice versa, clipped everything back on and presto it worked! The series x is playing discs again!
@@TRVlogger I have the EXACT same issue with my Series X. If I just swap my faulty disc drive out for a working one, is it really this simple? Just want to double check that an Xbox console's disc drive isn't tied to the console's serial number or anything like that requiring it to be flashed before I can replace it. Thank you.
@Duke of Spook Hi there. I wouldn't swap the whole disc drive. Only the laser lense situated under the daughter board.
Mine broke twice don’t even know how as I only played two games on disc and the third one was when I found out it was broken
Also thank you for the great video, I saw that you may soon be selling disc drives ( it was about 6 months ago ) how much would they be?

We are still working on getting the part
My ps1, ps3 still work. Ive had my xbox like 2 years. Only have played 1 game on disc and it just stops working...
Everything is made at such a worse quality now, its sad.
Mine is making a noise but works fine but im not sure if it needs replaced
Is it working okay? Doesn't sound like its scratching?
@@Joesge no it sounds like some sort of machine like a printer but then it works fine
Can I REMOVE the Disc Drive and KEEP IT OUT?
In other words will I be able to use my Xbox Series X console with the Disc drive in general and not have to worry about failing any “Xbox updates” since my drive will be removed?
In theory you should be ok, but if an update calls for some sort of disc drive function, then it wont be able to find the disc drive and give an error, But I do not think this will happen very often if at all.
@@Joesge thank you for actually taking up your time to give me your respected opinion… anything between cars and Electronics I rebuild or build lol.
I forgot my 2nd Cuzin works in Xbox’s hardware support team so I asked her and I actually got the same answer I was thinking that you also verified !
-So basically this is how it works… if your an Xbox insider you will experience more updates and specifically custom updates that can range anywhere in your consoles hardware! I lowered myself down to Omega so I won’t get to experience future consoles OS releases, just basic updates like a general Xbox owner!
-So after removing my DISC SRIVE and put my console back together and started it up, the series X didn’t even give me an error despite every time you turn on your console you hear your disc try manually moving making sure it’s functioning properly, well this time I didn’t lol.
Console starts up with NO Error code or any issues. I did have a small OS update and for some odd reason despite not detecting all its factory hardware (disc drive) it didn’t care and completed the update!!!!!
I know this sounds stupid removing the drive but I’ve never used it once and whenever playing COD or Halo the console gets pretty HOT, so why have more hardware that runs in the background giving off more Heat? lol
After removing it I have even more airflow. Specifically that goes directly straight up to the power source since the disc drive WAS below it AND DAMN BRO, what a DIFFERENCE!
-My series X is running 9-16F COOLER!!! Deff was worth it, whole point I did it was to increase the consoles lifespan considering these consoles reach up to 135-140F averagely.
Not to mention it only takes 4 screws total and two simple wire harnesses to unplug the disc drive and it doesn’t even ban the warranty lmao
Is this drive the same as the one in the one x/one s? Or is it different?
From what i remember it is different
@@Joesge thanks. I was wondering because I cant seem to find series x parts anywhere
My two year old has fed football cards into my xbox series x, i think there is a disc in the hard drive but nothing will come out. Just makes a racket when you turn the xbox on for a few seconds. Is there away you can open the disc drive up to remove the foreign bodies?????
Yes so follow this tutorial to remove the Disc drive. Once you have it out, there are 4 small Philips screws that you can unscrew to open the disc drive. That should give you an angle to remove any junk. If you need more room, you can also unscrew the daughter board inside the disc drive to get more access to the disc drive.
Does anyone know where we can get one of these in the UK?
We will soon have some in stock, and we do ship internationally.
I know this is kinda an old video can someone post the link to by the drive please and thank you!!!

How do we clean it? Do we use alcohol?
yes that should be fine.
what disc drive does it use i cant figure it out please help
We will soon be selling the disc drives
@@Joesge well I guess I'll just wait actually just share the part number instead of telling people to wait and spend money at your website
I might have pulled out the second part of the wire and I can’t put it back
Try flipping it the other way, I don't fully understand your question.
@@Joesgebut the pins got destroyed and bented are the pins replaceable I sent the Xbox to Microsoft repair center
Any word on where to buy the new drive?
Hello, we do sell the part here 👉 www.joesge.com/products/microsoft-xbox-one-x-cyv-00001-repair-replacement-parts?_pos=1&_sid=707365611&_ss=r&variant=39347400179758
Just wondering what you’d do if the logic board was broken
You could try replacing it, but it may not work. Some disc drives are married to the motherboard so if the board breaks then you may be out of luck.
@@Joesge it should be illegal this marriage of components.
What if the board is fried?
If the board is fried on the disc drive im not sure if there is much you can do.
Take it to a professional, assuming what fried are mosfet/driver/regulator a professional should be able to fix it, it's very rare for the security (paired) components to fry unless you got water in there in which case you should just continue to use it without the drive after removing it.
thanks but don't use metal tools to pry plastic.. you'll destroy your case
We where very careful with the metal pry tool. Plastic tools work as well though
What was cause of failure?
The failure can be caused by many different issues.
Anyone else having issues getting the bottom off
There is a tab that you have to pry up while rotating the bottom disc
I never use disc how’s it broke lmao
6:08
Why don't you just replace the entire disc drive? Lol seems unnecessary to do all that work
You have to replace the daughter board because it is paired to your console. The disc drive will not work without replacing the daughter board
@@Joesge 😢😢 it looked so easy at first lol thanks for the info though.
