*********** PLEASE READ *************** This fix ABSOLUTELY voids your warranty! Attempt at your own risk! Also, if you need help opening an Xbox 360, visit www.llamma.com I hope this video helps! Send me a message if you have a question. **UPDATE 7/30/2008** The drive in the video is the Hitachi DVD drive. I have not tried this on the Samsung drive, and it doesn’t work on the Toshiba. I know this news would have been helpful at first, but I’m lazy and didn’t try it on my Toshiba drive until yesterday.
@h3llboy902 just take out the rubber band cean and put it back on easy fix
Haha SCREW MICROSOFT! They put the samsung drive in my xbox and you can’t remove the motor from that kind. I hate this because now I have to spend 300 effing dollars on a new box. fml
I just boughr this fucking xbox like a month ago and i tried to hotswap…couple days later bang the thing keeps doing it. I have the samsung drive…any solutions

SK8ERRB look on ebay and buy a xbox 360 dvd drive on its own it cost about 20 euro to about 30 euro
I just want to thank you for your wonderful contribution to us do-it-yourselves. Following your instructions was easy and I was able to fix my Xbox DVD in no time. great video. Many thanks.
I have a Philips drive in my 360, how to I take the motor off on that one?
awesomeness… thanks it worked for me…
@SK8ERRB or you could buy a new disk drive then switch out the keys
I would add that you should use a NON FLAMMABLE lubricant as this drive motor can generate a lot of heat… WD-40 would be out unless you want some really cool fire effects…

i goin to ask them if they can fix it
I pulled the motor apart, and there is hard white gunk caked between 2 of the copper coils. I take it this means the motor is fried??
When I try to play a disc, it will hardly even start spinning, only real slow like for a couple seconds.
thank you for your help
didnt help me cuz i have a 360″pro” version and everything is different
@daiblo1234 same
for mine it plays the game then frezzes and if you eject the disk it spins and scratches and its broke two of my fav game oblivion and assassins creed 2 any ideas why
Worked for me. But i didnt go as far as taking the spindle out. I just put in a few drops of lube in the spindle and it work perfectly. Im sure someday though it will need to come out to be cleaned
