Xbox one disc drive malfunction

"The laser sled seems to have run up to dead end, which usually shouldn’t happen for most normal disc drives, so I guess the noise comes from the sled motor, maybe the sled zero position reset switch is broken and the motor keeps trying to run it towards the center.

Maybe power it on with the bottom lid open to verify this?

I haven’t actually opened up an Xbox one disc drive, this is only based on experience of other models. However opening up the mechanism and see how it is running helps with determining the problem.

Update 1: I opened up the drive and this is the actuation video of a good drive, notice the white slider moving vertically.





Ifixit video is not working so I added YouTube link to the video.

I had a similar problem. Try to hold the console at about a 50° angle and insert a disc.

The lower slide lock is off by a tooth, meaning it detects the disc is not seated correctly. Try detaching it from the pins and set to the lowest tolerance.

I thought I had the same problem with gears or the roller that slides the game in. Once taken apart I realized the clicking noise is coming from the actual laser reader not sliding up and down properly, or just simply not working. Anybody know any hacks I could do to my laser reader so it can read the games?

hello. I have the same problem in my Xbox one S but this is passing when I don’t use disc… Do you know what I do to resolve that?

This noise come from the sensor, the flex cable sometimes comes off the sensor pads when taking the drive apart or when the sensor goes bad change or reconnect the sensor and you can fix this problem
