DVD tray doesn't open unless I open the Xbox

What titles says.. Did I miss some adjustments or a step that prevents it to open ? I've already changed the "belt"

What do I do now?

I have now spent over 3 months on this Xbox, cleaned the laser multiple times, yesterday recapped the whole disc drive controller board and still nothing, is there anything else left?

Also thank you guys who told me to try recapping the control board and the people who gave me advice on when I ripped off one of the solder pads yesterday.

Two Halo CE Disks

I bought Halo CE from a local game store. I thought it was a bonus disk but, as far as I can tell, the only differences is one contains demos and the other contains Halo 2 trailers. Is there anything else?

Does the emulated version of the OG XBOX GTA vice city on the 360 still include the lighting trails?

I’m thinking of buying a copy of gta vice city for the original Xbox as I’ve heard it’s backwards compatible with the x360. However, whilst doing my research I have found gameplay videos emulated on the 360 that don’t include these effects, the 360 version also looks kinda bright.

Help with dvd playback kit

I bought a dvd playback kit for the original xbox and the receiver works fine, but I couldn't get the remote to work and was thinking I might need a CRT tv to have it work. If you have any idea what I can do to fix it please let me know.

New rubber pads to save my og xbox controllers

Hi folks,

Not an ad, just wanted to share my experience.

I have 3 controller S, and I needed to press sometimes very hard in order to make my actions. I bought 3 of those and tried one on one of my controllers, you need to take off the graphite layer, clean the glue residues with alcohol, and change for your new rubbers, it works like brand new !!

Graphite tape was a very bad design in my opinion..

I share the seller and product because I want you to know what product works well. Maybe the others do too, but I'm 100% sure those are quality rubbers.

Unfortunately, and very sadly I can't find ones for the Duke. If somebody knows where I can buy some. I'll take it !

Hope I don't break any rule for this subreddit. It's an honest review.

Take care !

Why is the Xbox so great but awful in reliability and parts are a pain.

I got an OG Xbox someone was throwing away with 190 Games. But I only got to play it once because the drive will refuse to play games or it will stop randomly. Also the power button doesn't work and the eject button can turn it on or sometimes it will turn it off or it will eject the disc. Yes, I removed the Capacitor. I wish I could solder to fix some of it. But, also replce the drive but it will probably have issues down the road. I wouldn't mind Emulating it but even that's a pain because of needing the BIOS and a specific drive to play the games.

Cleaning out garage. Original Xbox Games.

Torn between what to do with these. Some were purchased when we bought the Xbox upon original release in 01-02. Do I donate to game store? Sell? What are these even worth? Any help would be appreciated.

how to build Xbox HDD

lets say i have an Uno'd xbox HDD key on a softmodded xbox, i have a backup of the EEPROM.bin, and my hard drive completely dies, unrecoverable

how would i go about building/locking a new hard drive to my xbox, so that i can put it in and use it? what software etc would i need and what is the process?

i know i could modchip it, but this is just a hypothetical because I want to know how, my xbox is fine currently, assume no hard modding, only a softmod with uno'd key

links to guides or anything are completely acceptable I just couldn't find anything

thanks :)

Is there any way to update Cerbios once XBOX is fully mounted?

I just recently posted i was working on my new og xbox, well now it's completely mounted, HDD and everything, although I'm still figuring out how to make Insignia work on it, I'm pretty new and i haven't gotten much time to check all the options available on xbox 4 gamers.

Like so, is there any way to update the BIOS through the dashboard with an app or something or do i have to use a dvd or maybe something else?

Also, been practicing the ram upgrade and it's really not a big deal, i think with some more practice i will be able to do it on my new xbox!

I feel like i tried a lot - Error 7 - NOT MODDED

Hi

I have a hard drive with Error 7 - I was able to pull the data from the eeprom - I was able to find clean C and E and install them using xboxHDM - now I no longer get error 7, but get error 16

i can lock the drive using xbox HDM but not sure if that actually locks it with the correct key.

How the heck do i lock it with the right key? lol I have searched and searched - and everything is done using a mod chip or an already modded xbox - i intend to softmod but i can't even get there.

What do i do to make sure the correct key is locked to the hard drive - where can i find the correct C and E files - I think i have them but not sure - I don't have 1.6 for sure - anyways what the heck can i do. What do i even do with the eeprom - live info shows me the HDD key but i don't know how to apply it to the drive.

Thank you.

Weird looking inner ring on my CE disc

So I’ve actually not seen this type of inner ring on any OG Xbox game in my life, is it some kind of repair? Just a solid grey ring but you can see the holographic Xbox logos underneath it just barely. Cheers
