    Most lense cleaners will destroy your Xbox lense! Unless they specifically say that's what it's for! Your best bet is to open the drive, blow it out with canned air and test! If still no go then you may have to try the Pot Tweak! If you have a Samsung drive, make sure that the laser can move freely allong the rail,sometimes they get stuck and some WD40 will loosen them back up!

    Well thomson drives are fussy in reading disks.

    Try a CD/DVD lens cleaner.

    There is a link at the bottom of that page to the Thompson drive fix. I actually like the thompson, they respond the best the pot tweak! Phillips area nightmare and Samsung is the best! Also, as stated previously DO NOT use a lense cleaner in your Xbox!

    It will scratch the laser, trust me on this! It will render the laser useless and you'll have to replace it!
