Is your Xbox disc drive refusing to read games, stuck with a disc inside, or making a loud grinding noise? You do not have to buy a new console. An xbox one disc drive repair fixes drives that will not read discs, will not eject, or sound like they are grinding, usually for far less than a new Xbox. We repair and replace disc drives on the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox 360, and the original Xbox. The diagnosis is free, so you find out exactly what is wrong and what it costs before you decide. For other Xbox problems like power or HDMI, see our main Xbox repair page. We also fix Xbox controllers and PlayStation consoles.
If you put a game in and your Xbox does nothing, or it pulls the disc in and spits it back out, the disc drive is the problem. This is the most common xbox one disc drive repair we do, and it is very fixable.
A disc stuck inside your Xbox that will not come out is a common and fixable problem. Do not force it or shove things into the slot, since that can cause more damage. We can get your disc out safely and fix what caused it.
If your Xbox makes a loud grinding, buzzing, or clicking noise when a disc is in, the drive parts are worn or the disc is not seated right. A noisy drive often still works for now, but it usually gets worse, so it is worth fixing before the disc will not read at all.
When a disc drive is too worn or damaged to repair, we replace the whole drive with one that works. This brings disc gaming back to your Xbox without the cost of a new console.
If the laser is dead, the motor has failed, or the drive has physical damage, a full replacement is the fix. We fit a working drive matched to your Xbox model and set it up so your console reads games again. We always tell you honestly whether a repair or a full drive replacement is the better value for your situation.
Whatever Xbox you own, we can look at its disc drive. Here are the models we work on most.
The Xbox One is the most common disc drive repair we see, for discs that will not read, stuck discs, and worn drives. We fix the Xbox One, the One S, and the One X.
The Series X has a disc drive that can get loud or stop reading. We repair the noise and reading problems on the Series X. Note that the Series S has no disc drive at all, since it is a digital-only console, so there is no drive to repair on that model.
We also repair the older Xbox 360 disc drives, including stuck discs and drives that will not read, and even the original Xbox, including worn drives and the front bezel. If you still game on an older Xbox, we can keep it running.
For most people, yes. A disc drive repair costs far less than a new Xbox, and it keeps your console, your saved games, and your disc collection working. We always give you the honest math.
The price depends on the model and whether the drive can be repaired or needs replacing, but it is always far less than a new console. The diagnosis is free, and you approve the cost before any work. Here is a general guide.

No. A disc drive repair does not touch your saved games or downloads. Everything is stored on the Xbox hard drive, separate from the disc drive we repair. Your Xbox comes back just as you left it, reading discs again. If you are ever worried about losing files on any device, see our data recovery page.
Disc drive guides and parts are sold online, and we will be honest about them. For some skilled people they work, but an Xbox drive is tricky, and a wrong move can damage the console or the laser.
The drive is held in with hidden clips and screws, and the laser and ribbon cables, the thin flat wires inside, are delicate. The Series X is especially tight inside. If you are experienced with electronics, a guide can help. If not, you can scratch a stuck disc, snap a clip, or kill the laser, and then the repair costs more. Our repair is affordable, fast, and comes with a warranty, so you skip the risk.
This page is about the disc drive. If your Xbox has a different problem, like it will not turn on, has no picture on the TV, or overheats, that is covered on our main Xbox page.
See our Xbox repair service for power, HDMI, and overheating repairs, and our Xbox controller repair service for stick drift and controller problems. Whatever is wrong, we can help.
Why won't my Xbox read discs?
The laser that reads the disc has weakened, or the part that spins and grips the disc is worn. The game disc itself is usually fine. An xbox one disc drive repair tests the drive and either repairs the laser and loader parts or fits a new drive. Your saved games stay safe, since they are stored on the Xbox, not the disc drive. The diagnosis is free.
My Xbox won't eject a disc. Can you get it out?
Yes, safely. When the eject motor or loader belt wears out, a disc can get trapped. Do not force it, since that can scratch the disc or damage the drive. There is sometimes a safe manual eject trick for your model, which we can tell you, and if that fails, we open the drive, free your disc, and repair the eject parts. Your disc and data stay safe.
My Xbox disc drive is really loud. Is that a problem?
A loud grinding or buzzing drive means worn parts or a disc not seated right, and some Xbox Series X consoles are known for a loud drive. It often still works for now but usually gets worse, so it is worth fixing before discs stop reading. We find what is causing the noise and repair or replace that part for a quiet, reliable drive.
How much does Xbox disc drive repair cost?
The diagnosis is free. Stuck disc removal runs $39 to $69, eject or loader repair $59 to $109, laser or read repair $69 to $129, and a full drive replacement $99 to $179. A new Xbox Series X is around $450 to $500, so a drive repair saves you a lot. You approve the price before any work. Get a free quote or call (703) 594-9339.
Does the Xbox Series S have a disc drive to repair?
No. The Xbox Series S is a digital-only console, so it has no disc drive at all. There is nothing to repair on that model, since all its games are downloaded. If you have a disc drive problem, it will be on the Xbox One, Series X, Xbox 360, or original Xbox, and we repair the drives on all of those.
Will I lose my games or saves if you repair the drive?
No. Your saved games and downloads are stored on the Xbox hard drive, separate from the disc drive we repair. We only work on the drive, so your console comes back just as you left it, reading discs again with all your data intact.
Do you repair Xbox 360 and original Xbox disc drives?
Yes. We repair the older Xbox 360 disc drives, including stuck discs and drives that will not read, and the original Xbox too, including worn drives and the front bezel. If you still game on an older Xbox, bring it in and we will see what we can do. See our Xbox repair page for all Xbox console services.
Is it worth repairing the drive or buying a new Xbox?
Usually worth repairing. A new Xbox Series X is around $450 to $500, while a disc drive repair is a small fraction of that and keeps your console and game collection. If your Xbox has several faults at once, a replacement may be better, and we will tell you honestly at the free diagnosis.
