Well, you're putting in a small object into a small hole, but on the inside it's wide and hard to hit the actual trigger. do it carefully. Otherwise, pick no bones about it, get a screwdriver and open the console, why not? It'll fix your issue. I'm glad you tuned in and hope this was helpful for you bro, cheers.

My capacitators are leaking and i can't even pull the tray open. What video do you recommend?
@hdrgb
Жыл бұрын
You're asking about two different things as caps and the disc tray are independent of one another. For the tray, you're looking at my video in which I explain that. The video is not about capacitors if that isn't already obvious. I haven't made one about that, so I would do some independent research. If I ever make a cap video, I would be happy if you checked it out. Regards,

Yes, and no. My comment was written in stress and frustration, so i forgot to write what i meant. I watched the video without sound, because it was properly filmed so i could see everything you did. Re-watched it with sound to make sure i wasn't missing out on anything important and i failed in the first step. Power on the console. Further research shows me that it's the capacitor for the main power delivery thingy that is faulty, and that's why it won't power on. Watching the video with sound i noticed that you mention something about it, but you don't show it in the video. The emergency open! Since my machine was already opened so i could see the faulty capacitor i could also remove the whole DVD-drive and access the emergency open button. My problem is solved, but I was probably just frustrated that my solution wasn't in the first video i clicked on. 😂 This might be good to know in the future though!

Hi, so I just got an Xbox and my tray is stuck. I find out if I give it a bit of a whack on top, it always opens. But I don't want to have to always do this. Do you think this fix would fix that problem? Also, I tried to put a needle originally into the little hole and it wouldn't work so I pushed it harder and it still didn't work. That's why I decided to give it a whack and that worked. Not sure why the emergency released didn't work though. Oh and lastly, where do I get the rubber bands from? Thanks for your time, look forward to your response.

If the tray cannot be opened, I would unscrew the console and remove the top for easier access. At that point, I'd replace the belt. You can take the old one into a hardware store and ask for a similar one. I appreciate the comment and your viewership. I hope to hear from you again.

My OG XBOX Philips drive had a stuck tray and tapping on the top case above the drive released the tray. Replacing the belt fixed this issue. However my Thomson drive in my OG XBOX has the issue where it ejects but does not stay open and closes. I noticed with this drive the pulleys are further apart and a standard new belt is very tight. Replacing the belt did not fix this. The insides of the console and drive were dust free and very clean with no bulging or worn capacitors. Any ideas on how to fix this drive?

I honestly didn't even know that tiny hole was there. It used to be a real birch to open if it didn't have a disc in the drive. I still have that problem with mine. Now no matter what I do since I removed the disc, having forgotten the problem it just won't open at all so I'll take thos tutorial to heart Edit: been trying to open it with the emergency hole and it ain't working. What do I do now???

This isn't a helpful comment and i'm not sure what you want me to do with it, but if I'm reading in between the lines, I think I can help. If the tray is stuck, use a pin and put it in the dvd-drive tray pinhole. That will force it open and you can do the repair.
