Ive been reading about alot of people who have had this problem, but have seen no real answers to fix it. Mine is a BENQ VAD6038, flashed with IExtreme 1.1, and was working fine for a week or so. I tried playing halo 3 one day, and I got the stick this disk in an xbox 360 console error. I tried a few differnet games, backups and originals, and neither worked. It WILL play DVD movies, but I cant get it to play any games. I tried flashing back to original firmware and the latest IExtreme 1.4 for BENQ drives and stil same problem. I took my dvd drive apart and watched it when I stick games in. The lens moves over and rubs against the part that spins the dvd and it makes a weird noise, then the lens moves back away. I dont know if its supposed to do that or what.
Im wondering if anyone knows whats causing this error, if its a firmware problem or just a bad DVD drive or what, and if ANYONE has managed to fix theirs. PLEASE help i dont know what to do, my drives been broken for weeks now.
i doubt it, i already flashed back to my original firmware.
and i flashed to the newest one also using 2 different speeds.
im glad to know im not the only one tho, somebodies gotta know
how to fix it if its possible to fix.
I called MS and my warranty is still active. But my warranty sticker is gone. I have heard different stories about MS fixing Xboxes with and without the sticker on it. I'm going to try to send it in to them for repair (after loading back just my original key). The worst case scenario is that they wont fix it and send it back to me. It will be about 4 weeks at the most before I will get it back to find out. I'll let you know what happens. Does anyone out there know where I can get a new warranty sticker?
