Sorry, I can't help, I'm not exactally an techno wiz but was wondering if you could help me.

When I switch on my Xbox a notice appears in six different languages which says;
"Your Xbox requires service. Please call Xbox customer support."
and the ring around the disc button flashes alternately green and red.

please help if you can

 

lock the hard drive, if you have a hardmoded xbox

Ok...dpinkney, you have a DDE (Dirty Disc Error), you need to repair\replace your DVD! Do a search on how to go about that.

@Lydia90
Hijacking posts is against the rules, keep it up and you will be banned. However, if you can see a number in the top left of the screen it will tell you what is wrong with your Xbox!

@MEDA4
Don't give advice that is completely irrelevant to the conversation! Also, if you have a Hardmodded Xbox, it won't make any difference if your drive is locked or not!

 

ok, so Mr. chunkhead... why is it that when i unlock my hard drive, turn my xbox off, then turn it on with the mod chip off, that i can not play the game. and ^ their message comes up on my screen also?

 

ok well my xbox wont read normal xbox games...at all wont read them and i tryed cleaning it didn't help..and where does it say wats wrong with my xbox?

 

chunkhead, you and i were newbies to once.

 

still doesn't help my problem can someone help me fix it..becuase its not dirty disk..and i need it fixed

 

There is a number!! It's 16
what does it mean???

Also.....im sorry for highjacking the post, even though I'm not quite sure what that means...

 

ok well thanks for the help...even tho no one has really helped me and some other dude posted in here and ya.

 

I'm just trying to keep some order!

Ok... Firstly,

@MEDA4, if you had a modchip, why would you be turning it off? The only reason you can turn it on\off is to play on XBLive. With the modchip enabled, it makes no difference whether the HDD is locked or not, the chip doesn't check!

@ dpinkney, sorry about the long winded thread, I'm just trying to help everyone! Ok, which drive do you have? Look here http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/xbox_dvd_version_comparison.htm

after that you need to clean your drive out. Intially just open the drive, give it a good blow with compressed air and see if it works. If still no go, check and clean the laser eye with rubbing alcohol and a q-tip VERY gently. Re-assemble and try. If still no luck, try a Pot Tweak http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/409908

Let me know how you get on!


@ Lydia90, you have a corrupt dashboard! If you can still load original games, load one with Xbox Live and then try to access Live. It will update your dash and fix your problem! If you can't, can you see the white "Microsoft" logo under the big green "X" on startup? If you can you need to hotswap http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/332766


Hope this all helps!

 

Thank you thank you thankyou
CHUNCKHEAD, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!

 

and by the way dpinkney

I'm not a dude, I'm a chic and have you ever heard of chivalry??

 

I gather you fixed it then? Was it the Xbox Live trick that did it?

 

i have a Thompson drive i have never opened an xbox..before i dont have the tools do do what u have told me to do..second it was soft modded and then i guess restored to reg xbox some how it read disks before..the time when it go restored and now it doesn't read anything at all..and i want to fix it so i can play burned games..is all..

 

ok so i cleaned the lens and it plays normal xbox games..but the sound is fucked..ok if i wanted to put the mod back on can i just get 007 agent under fire and load it up with the save on my xbox since at one time it was a modded xbox..like i have 007 agent under fire and then xnleashed file and a download update and something else..let me know..thanks

 

Hey chunk, I can't try the soloution you sent me, i dont have XP or 2000 (is the solution only for 360??) ..... is there anything else I can try??

 

so its fucked again i tryed to put in an xbox game after i shut it down and started it back up and its back to saying dirty disk. fusking xboxs are gay. worset waste of time ever..cant even fix the fusking thing.

 

@ dpinkney

Your best bet if you don't want to try and fix your DVD is to buy a new DVD from eBay or the likes, they are just plug and play!

@ Lydia90

What do you mean you don't have XP? Are you using Win '98? The program is called 360, but it's not for Xbox 360! A bit confusing I know! No luck with the Live trick?

 

yeah no luck, won't do a damn thing

and yeah I have 98 (I know old, but reliable)
