Hardware problem

APEX · 13-07-2008, 09:49 PM

Just wondering if any of ya'll have heard of this problem:

My friends laser reader on his 360 was too close to the disc and while it was spinning, spun a 1/2 millimeter rut into his disc and is now unreadable. It happened to 2 of his games before he realized something was inside his Xbox causing the problem.

when i worked at a xbox360 lan center this happened atleast twice a month. we actually found someone locally to fix our 360's cause it took too long to constantly send them to microsoft.

dont sit ur darn 360 upright. if you do, do not touch it or vibrate it for usure! biggest reasons for the burn.. other than that.. oooooooooooooops!

i've seen this happen to friends many times (there's were horizontal so shup remix) i however have never had this problem and mine has always been vertical.

whenever i've seen this happen they have taken the game back and it has been traded no problem so give it a go

There ya go, Apex - young lads who 'keep it up' are definitely not suffering from hardware problems.

Have you considering role-playing? I've heard this can help.
