I just finished replacing my optical drive for my one X using your video. It only took me about an hour and a half. Everything worked on the first try and I'm back up and running. Thank you for your help!
For anyone who doesn't want to solder or feel comfortable soldering. I have no clue why every single disc drive replacement shows you have to remove those 2 wires with a solder iron and then reattach them again...trust me when I tell you, you do not, I repeat DO NOT have to solder at all whatsoever! The 2 wires are for the motor! I have done this on my xbox x and an older xbox one. It's easier this way in my opinion! Ok, they say solder it so you don't have to slide the whole unit out of the metal housing. If you look carefully it's easy to not only take off top panel, but also you can take off the bottom! Once top panel is off, it sits perfectly in the bottom panel. Look closely and gently you can move tabs or anything holding it in. Theres videos on TH-cam on how to do so. Doesnt have to be xbox x disc drive as it's practically the same. Ok. Once removed there are lots of plastic parts down there so put it on something soft. Sounds hard but it's so easy. Ok instead of removing 2 wires now with whole unit being out. Look where the 2 wires go, it's to the motor. Look on side panel where motor is and you'll see a black rubber band over a small white wheel which connects the motor. Look near that white wheel behind black band and you'll see 2 baby black screws. Take off the black band on small white wheel which connects the motor, super easy! Now unscrew the 2 baby black screws. Now do what they did in video, on top where pcb-motherboard is theres 3 screws. Remove all 3. Gently pull motor out of the assembly with pcb intact! The motor slides easily to the right, has enough room to easily come out. Sounds hard but I just finished doing mine today and it was so easy. Just be gentle with everything as it's fragile. P.s. for people who think it's to early to have issues are wrong! Anyone reading this that has an eject issue, be super gentle on the manual eject! I bought a tool specifically for this. I am no noob in other words and with me even being gentle with how hard to push the manual pin release...sadly Microsoft made these drives super cheap. Yeah they work amazingly but this one g.d. part is 3mm in width and with right tension like mine had when pushing manual eject with the pin-tool snapped this half inch pin with barely any plastic holding it! It broke in other words and would take a disc but couldn't eject it. I know how to repair this part but being so new and my patience I replaced the whole drive.
Thanks for this detailed guide. Took me a bit over half an hour and I'm back up and running. The hardest part was putting the lid back on since one of the corners got stuck on the side ribbon cable. Thumbs up!!!
This video helped out so much! My daughter shoved a sticker and a disc like object into the disc reader and I didn’t know. Went to go watch a movie and it sounded like the reader just blew up internally. Luckily we were able to open it up and pull everything out and it works like a charm. Thank you!
Great video! I've seen some AWFUL videos (poor camera work/awful audio, annoying "TH-camrs", etc.) in the last hour+, but yours was AWESOME in all respects! Thank you!
Be carefull, i received a drive that has one extra black pin on the front. I had to saw it off to make it fit in the one x. Everthing still works fine now. Thanks for the good video.
Is there any way to tell what Daughterboard is married to the Motherboard? Any indication or writing? I haven't been able to find this answer anywhere!!!
I need to replace one of the two cables for the blue ray drive. I bought this used and when I got into there, someone had already been in there to replace the hard drive, but they broke one of the blu ray cables. Is there a way to get those cables?
I am not gonna lie I took this whole thing apart cleaned it and took out the disk drive took the four screws out flipped it over and saw do not take apart and that shit scared me I guess that was the old infantry soldier in me I thought it was booby-trapped or some shit put the four screws back in and put it back together and I still got a fucked up this drive so tomorrow I’ll take it all back apart again thanks to this video
Trash Clan Be carefull though, one of the drive versions has an extra black pin in the front. You might have to saw that off like me. Compare them before assembling.
Anyone know where to get a replacement drive? Or is the same as the S? Mine stopped working in my Xbox one x project Scorpio and I don’t want to send it in
Does anybody know if the serial number on the optical drive matches the serial to the xbox one x? I'm trying to find out if mine was replaced or not please help!
Jorelplay No. Xbox (both 360 and One) use special drives and each drive board has an encryption key that needs to match one in the main Xbox’s CPU board. So you need to keep your old drive board. Or the encryption key will be mismatched and no more functioning of the Xbox...
About 50 bucks in all vs Microsofts estimate of 200+ and maybe maybe not fixing it and just sending me a shottier refurbished hunk of junk, with a couple month wait time.
The sponsored links with all the replacement drives are NOT for xbox x! If people don't read or pay attention they'll buy the wrong unit more then likely. Xbox one drive does not play 4k! Please update or explain which drive please! Thanks!
I just got supposedly an xbox one x replacement drive and the connecting ports are nothing like my x's... its more so the one one s but its labelled with the same model as the one x... very misleading
Hey, my xbox one x started show error 102 few months ago, it was the update problem , installed offline update, it started working again, but few apps like youtube and disney were showing "something went wrong" , then i got the startup error again, but after unpluging it for 10 minutes it started working again.. few days ago it went completely dead, research showed thats hard drive is gone, replaced it with the brand new one and upon installing the OS it restarted at 58% and again something went wrong error 101. researched it someone says the blue ray is gone but mine works perfectly. upluged the network cable again restart on 58% showing error code 100 , 101. plz help. btw the hard drive i removed from xbox started working again with 3.0 enclosure.
That could be anything the download youbused could have been outdated as you can't go back backwards in xbox updates only forward and you may need a new hard drive pretty easy to install and partition properly
I need urgent help!! Got a new Xbox One X with that trade-in deal of my old Xbox One at my local Gamestop, and I am beginning to think they sold me one with a faulty disc drive, cause it won't read a SINGLE f'ing disc! I don't mean you get the screen saying your disc is dirty, I mean it won't even pop-up the notification to allow me to install it. I am trying to play the new Madden NFL 19, but I have tried it with NBA2k18 and Madden NFL 18 as well. Same issue. The weird thing is I was able to play a demo of NBA Live 18, which I had a great time with! So if I can play demo games off the hard drive, why can't it read the disc? Is there something I am supposed to do to get it to pop-up and say install the game, or isn't it supposed to do that automatically? I went into apps and games, and it doesn't show ANY games listed! Only demos! I find it weird that it doesn't show my past Xbox One game history from games like Madden NFL 18, NBA2k18, etc. Isn't that strange? Shouldn't it show that if it's tied to my gamer tag? Please for the love of god someone help me!! LOL! Sorry, but I am really frustrated!!
Erik Gaming The drive board is paired to the main CPU board of the Xbox, with another drive board it won’t work because the encryption key won’t match.
On the 360 you could just swap whatever disk drive you wanted into it Now im building a pimp box with leds and a bigger heat sink Thanks Craigslist people who ripped me off You’re getting me back into the consul moding
M&R Tuning not true. 360 drives were also married to the console. I had to replace 4 of them and each would not read until the original drives daughter board was attached to the new drive.
I bought one 2nd hand built Nov or Dec 2017 and it had a faulty HDD spring 2019. Barely 15 months old. I've got a computer pushing 12 years old that still has all of it's original hard drives spinning
So, really, what, I can buy any Blu Ray player as long as I take the data board in the old Blu Ray disk drive into the new one 🤔? I’m sure that’s not right. Maybe the lens are the main thing here that reads the games
I’m_Lonely You’re_Lonely No. It needs to be another Xbox One drive. But you need to keep the original board because the unique decryption key needs to match the main motherboard of the Xbox.
I’m in the repair industry and do tasks like this on the regular, still, the way that these teardowns are presented is nothing short of magic!
Uses the drive 6m5s same one used in the xbox one s very easy to fine on Amazon or Ebay

Where can I get a reliable replacement optical drive?? All I'm finding online are used ones from Hong Kong.

Great video, my Xbox One X is working properly again.
I've saved quite a bit of money, thank you.

Does this work the same with any other Xbox one? Or do you have take them apart differently?
What are some other options when you need to remove the wires with the iron? 2:45
What is the part number for the replacement disc drive?

Would this replacement also fix a disk not ejecting?
My disk won't eject either. I want to die lol

Could i just get rid of mine? Like is it needed if i dont use discs?
Great video, Would have been nice if you showed the most difficult part though, Putting it back together!

@@KilleR_ZonE the xbox one s and x use the same disc drive that reads 4K UHD Blu Rays. The older Xbox One doesn't so is therefore a different model.
It's a good thing I found this video before I sent in my xbox
Does it matter if you get a new daughter board
Erik Gaming The drive board is paired to the main CPU board of the Xbox, with another drive board it won’t work because the encryption key won’t match.
Nice video but, I doubt very much that Microsoft will send a new optical drive to be installed by the end user when it fails...
you can just buy them their like 40
Got my Xbox one x on release and one night I was downloading Jedi fallen Order and it stopped but it let me play gta then the next day it stopped
Mine I think just blown out!☹️
Those optical drives
On the 360 you could just swap whatever disk drive you wanted into it
Now im building a pimp box with leds and a bigger heat sink

I saw half of the golden ratio
way to early in the xbox one x life to be replacing dvd drives lol
Amen.
my dvd is stuck and put a bobbi pin in the hole still nothing 2 months old "I might have to replace already"
I bought one 2nd hand built Nov or Dec 2017 and it had a faulty HDD spring 2019. Barely 15 months old. I've got a computer pushing 12 years old that still has all of it's original hard drives spinning

Ugh
Welp don't have a solder nor a solder iron don't know how tf to fix my xbox 1 x
