hi guys im having some issues with my benq dvd drive

it seems to be tempermental on what games it wants to play

one minute it will play for example gta 4 the next thing i know

screens froze and nothing is responding ie control etc i turn it off by console restart

then it wont even start the games keeps coming up unrecognized disc or disc dirty

yet the discs are spotless

i believe i either need to clean the lens or replace the drive but dont know how

someone confused me by saying iv got to get a cd key and put it on the new drive etc

please help :(

It was teleported "out" of the old type xbox forums...it's now in the right forum.

As for your problem, I would try a DVD disc laser cleaner you could find in most electronic stores such as Best Buy...etc. If that doesn't work, then I would move to disassembling the case, pulling the drive, opening the drive, and cleaning the laser lens with a Q-tip and with just a bit of isopropyl alcohol.
If that fails, try adjusting the pots...although you might be better off replacing the laser lens with a new one from ebay, or replacing the drive. You would have to dump the key from your current drive and flash the next drive with your key...whether you choose original firmware or Ixetreme firmware, is up to you.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."
