Chris Green chrisgreen. Did you buy the console used? If you simply replace a faulty drive with a working one, the console will not read game discs, only DVDs and CDs. You need to either repair the original drive, or swap it's controller board with a drive of the same model. I replaced the original controller board with a drive of the same model and it still will not read games.
Is there a way to see which controller is married to the MB? Serial number identification or other way? I have a few Xboxs I had taken apart and maybe I have misplaced some parts or swapped them, and it seems it would be easier to identify them by some marker than putting each one in a system until maybe it works, and if its a bad laser, then who knows?! Unfortunately, you can't just swap dvd drives in an xbox and have them work.
You have to replace with the same type of drive and retrieve the dvd key from the original drive and spoof it to the new drive. It sounds harder than it is, but it does require hooking your xbox drive to a desktop computer with a via sata pci card. I had the same problem, where my DVD drive wouldn't play anything at all. I swapped drives and movies would play but not games.
So I swapped the Printed Circuit board from the old drive to the new and it worked just as new and no need to flash. Just make sure your replacement DVD Drive is the same model as your old. There's tons of you tutorials on how to swap PCB on youtube. Keep in mind that some models involve soldering but thats easy as well. No sure if this would work on a slim. Michael Arm. There seem to be a lot of checks being made between drive and motherboard, that will cause your console to not being able to update if you have a replaced drive.
The last update in spring was specifically made to detect modified drives, and in turn a lot of consoles with swapped out drives would not be able to finish the update, as the altered firmware on the replaced drive was not properly flashable by the update.
So essentially, if you want to continue to play the latest games, that require an updated firmware, do NOT attempt a self repair.
David F. You can't swap the drive without extracting the key from the old drive and flashing it onto the new one. This is a service I repair UK based as a mail in service. Microsoft said Wednesday that the company has ceased production on its last-generation Xbox game console, which launched just more than 10 years ago in November Microsoft announced the news in a blog post, which noted that Microsoft had simply decided to focus its production on its latest console, the Xbox One.
We will continue to sell existing inventory of Xbox consoles, with availability varying by country. Why this matters: Normally, the demise of a beloved game console is cause for mourning. The move has significantly helped Xbox One's sales, and the gap between it and the leading Sony PlayStation 4 is getting smaller by the quarter. But it meant that the estimated 5 million Xbox One owners who had bought their console before the Kinect unbundling were stuck with an accessory they didn't necessarily want in the first place.
Meanwhile, only a handful of games support Kinect for Xbox One at all, and of those only a few received decent reviews. And with the novelty gone after the first generation of Kinect for Xbox , even the most optimistic Xbox fans were out of patience with the device.
The article's author noted that no new big flagship games had been announced for the Kinect for Xbox One — not even from Microsoft itself. That remained true for the rest of the lifetime of the Kinect.
That adapter was, in turn, officially discontinued at the end of In other words, it really seems like Kinect had been swept under a rug, even before the official discontinuation.
Its nifty motion-tracking tech has a ton of other applications. In , Adafruit CEO Limor Fried released a set of unofficial drivers to make the Kinect for Xbox work with Windows — which allegedly annoyed Microsoft at first, but they came around and released an official version down the line. From there, artists and robotics hobbyists started working the Kinect into all kinds of projects, Fried tells Business Insider. This bizarre "PomPom Mirror" art piece uses a Kinect to match your motion, for example:.
Elements of the Kinect made it into Windows itself: Windows Hello , the facial recognition system built into select Windows 10 PCs, uses similar infrared-tracking technology as the Kinect to work. In short, with 23 million Kinects sold for the Xbox , and at least 5 million Xbox Ones sold that included the sensor, it's a little funny, and a little sad, that Microsoft couldn't make it work as the future of gaming.
And when the Microsoft HoloLens, its futuristic wearable computer, comes out with a consumer version down the line, it's going to face a lot of the same problems with finding a niche. But where Kinect led with gaming, Microsoft is being careful to reaffirm that the HoloLens has lots of commercial applications for business users , even as it shows off holographic "Minecraft" demos.
The head of Xbox says this one product is 'critical' to the future of gaming. Shopify rolled out new algorithms in mid-December that resulted in several updates.
