Xbox – ny way to fix an Xbox 360 that intermittently won’t read discs

xbox-360

My old Xbox 360 often times (but not always) won't read a disc. If I keep ejecting/inserting it will finally work. Is there anything I can do short of sending it back to the factory? It's not under warranty and the cost to fix is so high I might as well just buy another.

I had this problem and it turned out that my console was full of dog hair (she sheds a lot). My console was out of warranty so I just opened it up, disassembled the DVD drive, cleaned out all the hair with compressed air and cleaned the laser with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
