Density Jo Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 My xbox is suffering from the open tray error, is there a way to clean the DVD lenses without opening the xbox or do i HAVE to open it and then clean it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WogMatt26 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Have you tried cleaning the disc with a tissue? If so i think they have some cleaning prodducts that come on cds with brushes that what my xbox original had, but these things damagemore then clean. If you are that worried and it's not reading anything you'll have to send it to microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReignerRuler Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I use THIS every time my lens refuses to work and i've always found it to work afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genesis x360a Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The best thing ive ever tryed is this >> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-CAN-XL-DUST-OFF-300ml-COMPRESSED-GAS-AIR-DUST-OFF-/170588782685?pt=UK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA&hash=item27b7e2405d Much better than over priced disc cleaners and its gets all the dust and dirt from inside the xbox tray etc and not just off the lens. You can probally pick up something similiar and cheaper from you local hardware store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WogMatt26 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Genesis do you blow the air inside the disc tray? That is not good for your disc tray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iX PEZ Xi Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 it is advised that you clean the lens every 100 hours of use. for some of us that is nearly twice a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Density Jo Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 I use THIS every time my lens refuses to work and i've always found it to work afterwards. my xbox "charlie white" survives, thank's to you sir i hope it survives long enough till may 25th where i can celebrate it's 3rd birthday (yes, my xbox is 3 years old!)
