My Xbox360 won't play disc! Solved/Closed

Question

Hello,

My Xbox screen after loading the disc turns into DVD screen and display message like" Attempting to read media" and nothing happens. 

It has happened with games like "Prototype" " Call of Juarez: BIB". 

Can anyone please help?

System Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 6.0

Hey, 

I went straight to Microsoft Xbox website. Their solution worked  for us when our Xbox would not play discs. Go to Settings > Memory. Highlight any storage device and press  Y. Do not select A. 

Select Clear System Cache. Perform Maintenance, click Yes. Next try your game to see if it works. When you play your games, data will be restored.

Hope, it will work!

Hi, 
i have been dealing with the same problem for a long time. But I found a fix!!! (at least for me)
 Both, however, require you to open your xbox dvd drive which will void any warranties you have. 
you need to:
 
 1. clean dvd lens carefully with q-tip and rubbing alcohol.

 2. lube rail that dvd laser slides on, and the bronze track that the motor turns.
  (i used gun oil but any good lube will work. DO NOT USE WD-40!!! or any spray like it)

This worked for me, if you try it I hope it works.

well I would recommend you ring up where you got it from like if you got it from some shop like a asda or something like that to see if they can recommend anything for you or ring up microsoft to see if your warranty is still valid because they give you a free 1 year warranty so if you haven't had it for 1 year send it back and they will repair it or send you a replacement thats how I did mine and its worked fine ever since
