So i have 2 xboxes. One is working great but i keep getting this error and the other was working fine until it got the rrod. I figured it was the laser that was causing the error, so i took the laser out of the one that was rrod and i put it in the one that works. I am still getting the error, can anyone help me here? Here is a video of what the xbox is doing.

Why is it making that weird noise as well?

If it really shows this "To play this disk, put it in an Xbox 360" message, then my bet is on a key missmatch.
An unrecognized disk due to a dead laser either looks like this:

Or the Xbox doesn't even recognize there is a disk at all.

PS3: Recently updated to PS3 slim 160 GB (60 GB phat still working)
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: DOL-001 model put in a DOL-101 case. Otherwise unmodified. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

I am either getting a mixed media disc or the play this disc put it in an xbox 360. Plus, It was working for a while with the new laser in it, until the box was updated on 11/26. Now I am getting the error. I am positive it is not the wrong key as it was working fine before

Here is a more accurate video of what is happening.

Either buy a really new laser or a RROD console with a working drive.
For the Samsung drive, you could try manually writing the key to it.

Originally posted by peluynati:I have switched out the laser and no luck. The minute the laser moves to the outside of the disc to start reading it, the laser phases out, just like the older laser. Should I adjust the pot meter? i have done this before with another xbox. If so, what setting would you recommend around 3.0k?
it most likely will not work, the first time you update it will most likely get e68, if it was a benq drive it would work. try the laser and report back!
