Got some Problems with My Xbox

[alexally4406]

Hey I have a regular x box for about 2 years now. For like 6 months whenever i play a game i have it says that the game is dirty or damaged. So I was guessing this was a normal thing. But then I started to play a brand new game and then the same message came up. So i thought the lense was dirty but then i bought a lense cleaner and the same thing came up. Now today i tried to turn the x box on and then the light started to blink green and red. Then it said that my xbox needs service, and it had a number 7 in the top corner. And it wasn't in english alone, it was in like 3 other languages. So wow my xbox seems pretty much messed up. Is there anything I can do to save my xbox? Or is my xbox ready for the trash?

nope that thing is broke.... i believe that you have one of the crap dvd drives ... i had one as well they put different brands in the xbox and the one we had just crapped out.... but then someone told me it could be a hard drive problem, but ya know what either way its broke.

it is the dvd drive.. u can actually buy replacement drives.. and if u know just a little bit about building computers it will be a snap to install it.

here is some sites that sell replacement drives

Is it under warranty still?

prob not if its 2+ yrs old.

it is the dvd drive, sounds like its completely gone if youre getting the error 7 msg.

you can get replacement ones for real cheap if you really want to fix it. or buy a 360!
