This screw had fallen out and was rattling around the drive and embedded right next to the laser. Also the white piece on the rail had also flung out and was stuck at the back of the tray causing it to get jammed. I have tried to refit them both but the screw is not staying in place. It seems to have no threads in the hole it goes in and is just sitting there loose. Exactly the same problem as you basically. But im not comfortable gluing it in. Any other suggestions? Maybe a longer screw?

Looks like the screw hole on the optical pickup is bored too big for the screw threads to catch. In a situation like that I’d just find something like a component leg or a strip of thin plastic to run down the length of the hole to artificially narrow it.

Yeah I dunno. I just repaired another 360 the other night and made a point to look at the pickup. The screw on that one too barely looked like it was poking through the bottom. I just have this feeling the screw they used just barely catches the threads on the laser. When I removed it the first time it may have ruined them just enough to keep it from catching. On other pickups I've seen that screw goes all the way through. Either way I'm happy to report I filmed this roughly a month ago and I put probably 30 hours on it and I haven't had issues. Krazy glue FTW!

@@titanrepairs I assumed it was a third party laser and the hole was just bored too large. If the officials ones are like that then they must have used a thread locker like you mentioned. I’d just be hesitant about using super glue near a optical pickup because of outgassing which can potentially fog up the optics.

@@Systemsquirrel hmm. Never thought about outgassing before. I'm not a chemist (I actually did poorly in chemistry in high school lol) but I'd assume the outgassing would be finished when the glue hardens? Either way, we'll find the answer if and when this 360 ends up in a future video 🤣

Not yet. I will be eventually though. I'm just in the middle of wedding planning and other life change planning so that takes up a lot of my free time right now. Once at least the wedding settles down I'll be setting up a website and PO box for viewers and non viewers to get in touch for repairs and whatnot. Just right now things are chaotic. Even my upload schedule is erratic lol. Is it a 39000 model by any chance?
