Xbox Problems (The disk you are using is dirty or damaged)
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Hey, I didn't know exactly where to put this one because it's more to do with the console itself rather than the games. Anyway, when I play most of my Xbox games, they will freeze up and say the disk you're using is dirty or damaged. I know this isn't the case because it has happened on almost all of my games at one point or another, and a couple of them were brand new. I thought maybe the problem was that my Xbox is too dirty or maybe some parts are loose. I decided to ask here because I wanted to know if anyone else has had this problem and know how to fix it because I would rather not spend money to get it fixed. Please help soon.

It's possible that your Xbox is dirty. Go buy a can of compressed air and blow out the Xbox. If that doesn't help, go buy a DVD laser lense cleaner kit and use it. Some DVD laser lense cleaner kits specifically say they can be used in the Xbox. Stick around, maybe someone else will suggest a specific cleaner kit they used that worked well.

It could also be your DVD drive crapping out. If you have a Thompson, it might be nearing the end of its life. I had a Thompson and it was doing the same thing. I could barely play my games without constant stuttering and dirty disc errors.
Two things you could possibly do:
1. Call Xbox and see if they'll do it for free.
or
2. Replace your DVD drive. I bought a Samsung DVD drive off of Ebay, and since it was pre-modded it was practically plug and play.

I've had the problem intermittently for about 3 months now, All I've ever had to do was spray off the reader lens with compressed air, and spray of the motherboard. I sometimes get this problem when running games for long periods, which I know is caused by a heat issue, to solve this I just run my box with the top cover removed.. it runs fine now.

just remember that when you take the top off you VOID your warranty, therefore you can no longer get help from Microsoft
