laser burn?

my FM4 has laser burn, is there anyway to fix it? i was gonna go to gamestop later this week but my brakes for my blazer wont be here till at least thursday, gamestop is gonna be a mess friday (black friday) and im going to my grandparents house saturday and gamestop is closed sunday :/

if i cant pertinently fix it is there a quick fix? i really wanna compete in rd.2 of turbo vs v8 lol

Try toothpaste, it's only worked once for me but it's worth a try.

Gamestop on 228 is usually pretty quiet on Black Fridays. At least in the past...

hmm ok ill try there, thanks mooove! i usually go to the one in Chippewa cuz its closer, and most of cranberry drives like assholes lol

gonna try toothpaste in a bit.

Good point, stay off 19.... Thats where you lose the time, and get frustrated. Let me know about the toothpaste though.

just started the toothpaste at 12PM. well see when im supose to take it out of the water at 12:30- 12:45

So is it successful?

nope.. tryed it 3 times, ne being a differant method.. i just tryed horizon and gta4.. i think the xbox is dead game wise.

Try buying one of those dvd cleaner discs or blow in there.

Throwing it against the wall seems to not work, but it feels good... That sucks man..

Getting pooped on by my cat is worse...

This works.

Take it to a local shop or walmart and ask to have the disc surface cleaned.

i know it works i seen it done before lol. idk what to do. if i take my xbox to gamestop could they fix my cd drive instead of getting a new one? i realy dont wanna wait till xmas :/

Depends what is wrong with it, do you have a friend that has the same model of xbox so you can download your games to it from there xbox using your harddrive ?

nope :/ im dead broke lol unless someone wanna give me a console thats local

Grab a hard drive from a laptop and stick it in the xbox and save everything to it. I didnt know laptop HDs worked but they do and it plugs right in.

hey camaroman i might be able to help you out i live two hours north of you if you live in Pittsburgh i have plenty of disk drives that might help

man that sucks try going on a site like kijiji, sometimes they have local gems like a box for 40 bucks

Camaro, you want nothing to do with my box... Its Actually RRoD, but has been running with a towel around it for about 2 months... Lol..

Isn't this a brand new xbox for you? Didnt you just have some kind of issue going on?

this xbox is almost 6 years old lol, it was a 20gig hard drive box, for the past 4 months i was running a 32gig flashdrive with it, till the flashdrive fuhjffuyiyhghgyed up and i lost all of my forzas (2,3,4,horizon) and all 3 of my GTA's, then i got a new 250gig bout 2 weeks ago, this started happening bout a week before my hard drive got changed but the past 3 days its got really bad, i canonly use it for netflix/youtube/chats.. anything besides gaming

Changed hard drives... That was it. I knew you were having some sort of issues with something... Before this one.

6 years?! I have had about 8 xbox's in that time.. I dont even play thaaaaaat much, but about once a year I RRoD and they send me a replacement. I believe I will be getting a new model for Xmas (Hopefully Wifey gets the hints... lol)

only other issue ive had was it overheated a few times cuz it was on a tight shelf with no vent.

i got it christmas day 6 years ago and the christmas after it RROD'd that was the only time it happened, i got it fixed under warrenty as well. still dont understand how this lasts 6yrs, but i have a original PS2 (one of the first that came out) and its been dropped from ~6ft a few times, spilled water on it and left running for days at a time and it plays like new, my lil brother still uses it

PS2's are indestructible for sure. Mine lasted me through college and you can only imagine what happened to it...

@ one point, I think was used to hold a window open because it wouldnt stay open... countless spitoons/beers spilled on it, few bowls, some cig burns... ahhh college...

It still works.
