Very helpful. I'm relatively new to gaming, but not new to taking things apart. Instead of forking out a fortune for one of the latest boxes and games as an introduction for a beginner, I went for a quite cheap second hand XBox One console with games bundle. I also knew I got an optical drive with it, so it's one less HDMI being used. All was going fine for a few weeks until the optical drive started to fail. I bought a replacement - not that expensive for what it does - followed your instructions, and now it's all working fine again.

These units are RoHS compliant as required by current laws. This means zero lead in the solder. This is why it melts at a hotter temp. The industry standard for lead solder for electronics is 63-27. It is 63% lead and 27% tin. The tin reduces the melting temp of the solder.

Very good information except for the method of de-soldering the solder joint. Heat transfer is almost impossible unless you add a bit of solder to the soldering gun first. The solder would likely not need as much heat to liquify is using solder on the tip of the solder gun.

@FreeWhilly734 Жыл бұрын
Mine wouldn't take in disk the eject noise would change if I pushed the disk half way in from no disk to disk ejecting noise when pressing the eject button. So I got another drive unplugged HDD put different disk drive in just to see if I had a working board, great took in disk and everything worked. So I thought ok has to be the motor chip, I swap it over, try again still the same. At this point I thought ok the motor controller chip is good, board good, laser good so I'll transplant the ID chip from one board to another.... Very hard to do but anyway with patience I did it... Pop drive back in and I'm back to square one but I now know it's a glitch with that ID chip and everything to do with the drive has been swapped. At that point I thought mmmm I haven't been on the Xbox in quite a while possibly a year so I update the console while updating I insert a disk and it takes it. So I can only think if you don't go online to update Microsoft nuke your disk drive. As crazy as that sounds it's the only logical thing I can think of. Been using drive last few days and it hasn't missed a beat. So make you sure you update your console before even thinking about replacing disk drive...

Not worth it. They don't sell new replacements for these. You still have to replace them with a used drive and there's no guarantee because one doesn't know how many hours of use is on the donor drive. If there are already many ways and videos of repairing or replacing BD drives on an Xbox one, that's already a sign that the weakest link of the Xbox one is the BD drive and the chances of getting another defective one is great. Honestly if one is finding a lot of issues with consoles, become a PC gamer, plenty of new replacements and mods for that rather than monkeying with used components in a console. Great video tutorial, but a waste of time according to many I.T. techs I've spoken with.

This is precisely the reason I became a PC gamer as well. I have an Xbox One that I only use for buying used last gen games which are much cheaper than what it costs on Steam, but for everything else, I buy it on PC. The performance is also much better than a console and the experience is nearly identical since I use an Xbox Core controller for gaming and can stream locally and remotely over Steam Link.
