If your having problems with your dvd-drive reading media discs, tweaking the pots might not be enough to give you uninterrupted game playback. The preferred solution is to replace the weaker Samsung optical laser with the stronger Hitach optical laser. 360 dvd-drives are not high quality, they are cheaply made and have weak lasers (especially the Samsung drives) if your having problems swap out the laser-optical unit from another drive or buy a new one. The Hitach’s can be purchased for relativity cheap (approx $30shipped)(order here)(try ebay).

You can read up and do this mod yourself or you can contact me. I have given free email support for the last 4 years so give me a try if you have any questions.

One thing is certain, if your having trouble….

* Dirty Disc Errors
* Discs sometimes loading, and sometimes not being recognized
* Games crashing half way through , due to reading problems
* and also glitching FMV or slow loading games (some games are just slow, its normal so be patient)
* the classic “OPEN TRAY” problem

New optical laser’s are a cheap & easy way to take care of your disc reading problems.
