XBOX Laser Eats Shit

[ghostparty]

So a couple of weeks ago my brothers XBOX's laser started to freak out.
Sometimes it loads, sometimes it doesn't (or it interrupts during the game with the "disk dirty or damaged/invalid game" warning).
He talked to XBOX support and they recommended he install a new laser, He did, he installed it and alas, the problem remains.
XBOX contacted again: "We're sorry sir we can't help you if you've modified your console."

Has anyone else had this problem and (obviously), what was the solution (if any)?

I have that same problem. Except for know, it has progressed so that it doesn't read ANY discs. I never tried to call it in or anything, so I just pulled out my Dreamcast and started playing it again.

sounds like a thomson drive, and yeah, those are crap

you could try getting a samsung drive from ebay or something, or just get a new xbox.. considering how expensive those samsung drives can be
