Love the closeup shots, so we can really see what we're looking at. I've seen way too many videos that do not show these intricate details. Great video and voice over while detailing instructions!

[@videogameexpert41]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I hope the video helped :)

[@justindinosaur]

@videogameexpert41 it absolutely did. I was hung up on a few parts, but your video helped me finish my restoration up! Just tested it, and it's working! Disk tray and everything. I took the old rubber band off and boiled it for 2 minutes. Rubber band shrunk and rounded back out like new.

What a gorgeous background ambient track.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I cant believe it, I watched dozens of videos, and yours was the first one whose disc drive matched the one in my x-box... THANK YOU!!!! You saved our old xbox Stompy... THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@JManny1]

[@videogameexpert41]

[@superdaneec7113]

Shit thanks for the tip about bugs my man. I' would never have thought about that being a safe place for them amidst my cleaning crusades.

[@MrDeancoote]

Well explained thank you. I have several xbox controllers that don't work Would love too see you repair one of those.

[@videogameexpert41]

What all is wrong with them? Unresponsive buttons, stick drift?

[@MrDeancoote]

No function, some with buttons not working, couple with slow or non functioning toggles.

[@videogameexpert41]

@MrDeancoote I’ll be on the lookout for some controllers that need repair! Stay tuned.

[@MrDeancoote]

Looking forward too seeing your repairs

Siiiick

Josh omg sent me thanks for the video I was able to fix my Xbox. Do you think you might be able to do one on how to replace the battery in a ps4. I’m looking to learn how to do that as well

[@videogameexpert41]

Replacing the battery in a PS4 controller? I could definitely do that!

[@diksonazuaje142]

Good video, my Xbox has the same issue, this video will help to fix it, but one question, why at the end, stills blinking green and orange? Mine does that but isn’t fixed it. That is already fixed, shouldn’t do that.

[@videogameexpert41]

The light will blink green and orange if the AV cables are not plugged in.

[@mikem2132]

Do these replacement bands work with all disk trays? It looks like I have a Phillips drive, thanks.

[@videogameexpert41]

From my experience there are two different size rubber bands across the Xbox and Xbox 360.

[@mikem2132]

@@videogameexpert41 Ok, I guess I’ll just have to find one that works. Thanks!

[@Thanos09]

My PS3 slim has Green light off death ( glod) can you do a tutorial how to fix it???

[@videogameexpert41]

Well I’ll have to wait until I run across a PS3 that has the same issue.

[@levigrant9161]

I would like to see you repair a black Xbox 360 disc drive

[@videogameexpert41]

The original black model or the newer model S/E?

[@levigrant9161]

@@videogameexpert41 i would say the original black model

[@videogameexpert41]

@levigrant9161 I don’t see the originals too often but I’ll try to make it happen for you!

[@sleepwalker29]

You forgot to move the laser back up. If left down the trey will stay open.

[@videogameexpert41]

Hmmm, then why’d it close and stay closed at the end of the video?

[@TLKT11]

Play station two

[@videogameexpert41]

I’ll do a laser repair video on the PS2 Slim soon!

[@VaccaVanni]

My Xbox ain’t even the same

[@lowres5447]

Same my disc drive is the same though. Xbox’s are very weird with what the internals are.

[@videogameexpert41]

There are about 4 different models of Xbox internals. All of them are pretty similar however.
