SOURCE: Won't load the game

If your 360 will not play any disc then you have a fatal hardware problem with your disc drive.(dvd, mp3, games, nothing) Xbox is now repairing this problem for free, give them a call.

SOURCE: i have a xbox 360 witha benq drive it won't read the games

This is a pretty common problem in the 360 and sometimes it will act a little crazy with errors like "please put into a 360 console", or it thinks games are dvds and just says "play dvd" after putting a game in. This is usually caused from the laser which is either dying out not getting enough power. You can either fix it yourself which will void the warranty, or send it in to get fixed which will cost around $100 for a new drive.

first open up the dvd drive and clean it good, including the laser. Then try the dvd drive POT Tweak
if you decide to get a new laser, then click here for instructions on how to install it properlly.

If you don't want to get a new laser or do the pot tweak, you can get a replacement drive on ebay or somewhere. It must match the key stored on the motherboard, so you would need to taked the pcb board out of the old drive and put it into the new one for the keys to match.

Disk unreadable but clean disk not scratached

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOmNtrStDgM
Turned on your Xbox 360 console one day and and when you try to play your game you got the message "This disc is unreadable" OR "Unplayable disc".....??
First determine whether it's a fault with the disc or not, by having a look on the disc itself & make sure it's not scratched and there are no flaws even on it, and try other game discs on your Xbox 360 console .
If your disc is scratched or have flaws try putting other discs in your Xbox 360 console just to make sure it's the disc not the actual console causing the error, If other disc are working fine, refer to the scratched discs page on our website to know what are the steps you have to follow to get it sorted out.
If the disc is not scratched and doesn't have any flaws on it, cleaning the disc and trying it once more may solve the issue, if that doesn't work try to check it by putting other discs in your Xbox 360 console, if they all work that would be definitely a fault with the disc itself and in a case like this you have the right to exchange it from the retailer you bought it from as it's not scratched.
In all cases if other game discs are giving you the same error message "This disc is unreadable" OR "Unplayable disc" you need then to contact Xbox 360 customer support to send your console to get repaired or exchanged.

It only plays Normal Xbox games

The open tray and unplayable disc is because the lens isn't strong on the drive and needs to have a Pot calibration done to it to make the lens signal stronger. That should fix the open tray/unplayable disc issue. I have done this to quite a few drives and all have been working fine since.

KEEP SAYING UNPLAYABLE DISC

Most of the time when your Xbox 360 says "Unplayable Disc" it's because the disc is unknown or it can read the label of the disc(the ring in the middle on the silver side). I cant provide anymore imformation due to your post. Be more specific.

Blue Dragon disc 3 unplayable

i havent had this problem myself iv asked around and no1 else i know with game has it either. i think you have a dodgy batch game either go back to the shop and ask for another game or phone the helpline on the game and ask for a new disc. it could also be a corrupt save file if it dosent load but if your saying its in a cut scene cancel the cutscene ie dont watch it

The 360 says unplayable disc

#1: The "eye" under the disk tray that reads the disk might be dirty or damaged.
#2: the lazer lenze might also b damaged.
#3:if none of these work then call up microsoft and send ur 360 in and get it fixed

I also had the same problem as u. All my disks were unplayable.
