Lady Lilith Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 http://kotaku.com/got-a-broken-xbox-one-punch-it-1472305325 RELATED Reports Of Xbox One Disc Drive Issues Increase As we continue to hear from more and more brand new Xbox One owners who say their disc drives don't work, Microsoft's solution remains the… Read… This fix isn't exactly elegant. And it's far from guaranteed to work, since only a handful of people have had success with it. But if your Xbox One has a busted disc drive, and you want to try fixing it in the most awesome way possible, flip it over and punch it. Hard.P There have been a few reports of this method working, the best one summed up in Dave D's video below, which theorises that the culprit is a gear in the loading mechanism that can be "realigned" with a little force.P And hey, as you can see in the vid, it worked for Dave. Though remember, it may not/probably won't work for you! That's kind of an amazing fix. Probably not intended, but still pretty great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExHaseo Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 That's not a very good idea. It might work, but if you end up cracking it or punching a hole in it, it won't be covered under warranty anymore. Since it's intentional, physical, damage. You could also just end up causing more damage. So, unless you have an extra $500 lying around, you should just call Microsoft and wait for the replacement. Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed can wait, I'm sure. It is kind of funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
