The DVD drives Microsoft puts in the Xbox 360 are cheap pieces of crap. They suck at reading discs. I took mine apart and boosted the strength of the laser and now I get less dirty disc errors.
The resistance on the DVD potentiometer was 4.6k ohms, I reduced it to 3.7k ohms.
Look at the cool pattern the laser reflects, I didn’t expect to see pretty lines.
After I finished boosting the laser power I decided to play some Half-Life. Enjoy the video.
The disc has a lot of circular scratches now, but it still plays fine. Maybe the laser boost really did help, or I’m just damn lucky.
