DVD Won't Spin, Could Modchip Cause This?

All of a sudden my Xbox won't boot games, I don't get any error messages, it just goes to the Dashboard like there is no game in the system.

The drive isn't spinning at all, I noted the position of the disk in the tray each time I turned the Xbox on or off and it never changes.

It does the same thing with the modchip turned on or off.

Could the modchip cause this or has my DVD drive just gone dead?

Thanks for any replies!

 

Your chip is ok. If you dvd drive won't spin, that means it is dead. IF you have game on hdd, try to load it to see if it work.

 

I don't have any games on the HDD. So I guess my next course of action would be to replace the DVD drive?

 

Well you should check to see if the dvd drive's cables are loosing before replace it.

 

I checked the cables, that doesn't seem to be the problem.

 

Ok DVD drive died. You can replace it now.

 

it might just be the lazer you can find them on ebay some time they are cheaper then the whole drive

 

If the DVD isn't spinning the disk at all, that could be the laser?

 

im sorry my mistake if it is not spinning it might be the motor and not the lazer i dont know if you can get a motor never looked for one but i would try to find the motor

 

I found a drive for $40 shipped.

 

that is probly a good deal that would be easyer for you to

 

It's a new drive, but a Thompson. That has me a bit spooked since I've heard bad things about them.
