    Default XBOX 360 problems

    sorry if this belongs in the wrong forum section. plz move it if it is in the wrong section.

    I am having this rather odd problems with my xbox 360. Whenever i put a xbox 360 game into my xbox and close the tray the system will attempt to read the cd then reject the cd few seconds after. I have no idea why this is happening and i was hoping that someone could put in some commentary on this issue.. thx in advance

    You mean, it rejects an original game?

    Call microsoft, best advice there really is. Only way to even attempt to fix it would be to open it, which is pointless.

    Though, try to put the console horizontal or vertical (Opposite of what it is). Ive had that happen before, but even then, that was before I had to replace that system.

    Is your 360 within warranty ??? If yes, then why are they asking for $160

    My 360 always rejected my Quake 4 disc.
    Then it wouldn't load Dead Rising at all, so I sold it Biggest mistake of my life.

    About the heatsinks issue, can you elaborate more on this ?? Do all 360s need it ??? Are the newer ones coming with more heatsinks or is this issue being resolved in the newer 360s ???

    If so, how do I figure out which 360 has this heatsink issue resolved ? Is there any way to figure this out by looking at the box or model number, etc or by looking at the 360 itself ???

    PS: I tried to ask this same question in another thread but no one seems to be replying

    Edit: Nevermind, snkupo just explained this whole thing to me Props to him
