Faulty xbox 360

I have been offered a 360 with everything for £30, only problem is it no longer reads the discs. My mate tried to change the case to a black one and it stopped working, until then it worked fine. What do you guys reckon the problem is

Re: Faulty xbox 360

unsure about what the problem could be but you could buy a new dvd drive for it, they sell for about £30-£40 depending on what brand you get . Althought you would need to know how to flash the new dvd drive with the key for it to work

Re: Faulty xbox 360

If the only problem is it's not reading discs a new laser costs about 12 quid, and it's a 10 minute change over job.

Give me more details on it's symptoms now. Does it boot up? Any red lights etc?
