Xbox One S SLIM Replacement Blu Ray Liteon DVD Disc Drive DG-6M5S-01B

Product Information

If insert a disc into your Xbox ONE but it does not respond and pull the disc into the disc drive, you most likely have an internal hardware problem. To troubleshoot this further you will need to disassemble your Xbox ONE console. We’re about to review three of the best Xbox One replacement disc drives on the market. To find out which one is best, we’ll talk about how they’re built, and what they ship with. We’ll also talk about how to change an Xbox One optical drive. The process isn’t all that complicated, and it can be done in less than half an hour. That said, you’ll need to be comfortable with soldering electronics. If you’re less than eager to solder your disc drive, you may want to hire a professional to do the job. If you insert a disc into your Xbox ONE and now it is not ejecting it, you can easily retrieve the disc by manually ejecting it. See our Xbox ONE Manual Eject Guide for steps on how to manually eject your disc.

Please Note!!- If your Xbox ONE only has trouble reading certain discs, please proceed to Scenario 3 below for help. Clean the disc with a soft, clean cloth. Always hold the disc by the outer edges without touching the top or bottom surfaces. If your Xbox ONE loads and plays some discs, but DOES NOT load others or gives an error, here are a few things to try: One of the most notorious failure points on the Xbox One is the optical drive. While the system itself is robust and rarely fails, the optical drive tends to stop working after a few years. This means you can’t watch video discs or play any games that come on optical disc. If you prefer to play disc-based games, a broken optical drive can put you out of commission altogether. No matter what, you want to get it replaced as soon as possible.

Up to 120 FPS: Requires supported content and display. Use on Xbox Series S as content becomes available.

Try using a different Xbox ONE (if possible) to load/play the disc. If you have access to another console such as a friends or relatives, try the disc in it and see if you get the same results. If the disc works fine on the second console, your console may need repair. Try a variety of discs in each console to help you determine if you have a disc problem, or a console problem. If you determine you have a console problem, see the Xbox ONE Disc Drive Solutions below. Games take up the same space on the SSD, no matter how you got them. But that conversion shouldn’t compromise the functionality of the physical copy in the process. Microsoft tried that once, and trying it again would only prove to ruin the goodwill its accumulated over the past several years.

Once you have the Data & Power cables narrowed out you can move on to the internal components of the disc drive. Inspect the internal components of the internal disc drive for:

Personally I like this idea, provided Microsoft implements it properly. I still prefer to buy games on disc, which offers better flexibility on where I buy and how much I pay. But I can admit that swapping out discs can be kind of a pain, and the option to convert them to digital titles is quite appealing. Work your way along the side of the Xbox, ideally using a second spudger. Make sure the first spudger remains in the gap throughout the entire process. Even as the gap gets wider and looks safe, don’t trust it. The case could suddenly snap shut at any point, and you don’t want that to happen.

Video Overview

Next, it’s time to remove the WiFi board from the top of the metal inner case. There’s a pair of T8 Torx screws holding it in place. You can move it to the side, but don’t remove it completely. Instead, remove the screw underneath it, which is labeled “C3.” You’ll also want to remove the other seven T10 Torx screws around the top side of the case. As you can see, these three disc drive replacements are all very similar. It’s largely a balance of price versus reliability. The accessories are also different, but that’s a secondary concern. You’ll see the optical drive, connected by a set of ribbon cables. Remove these carefully, and take your time not to damage the connectors. You’ll need them in good condition to reassemble the system. Replace the PCB If you insert any type of disc (game, blu-ray, etc..), but your Xbox ONE still displays the "insert disc" message, displays an error, or does not respond this could indicate an internal hardware issue with the console. However, in early releases the "Instant-On" power mode was known to cause disc read errors. Here are some things to help you determine if you console needs repair: The Generic Blu-Ray Disk Drive Replacement costs less, and comes with nicer drivers. Then again, it’s refurbished. It’s tougher to set any firm expectations as far as long-term reliability goes.

As mentioned, the graphical performance is identical, with both the Xbox One S and Xbox One S All-Digital offering 1080p output and HDR support, delivering a sharp, well-lit and vibrant gameplay experience. That means that you’ll be able to access the full catalogue of Xbox games on the newer console, although exclusively in digital form. If you’re looking for a one-for-one replacement, there’s nothing like using the original part. Microsoft offers many replacement parts for their consoles, as well as many accessories. For example, we recently reviewed the official external SSD for the Xbox Series X/S. But at the moment this sort of discussion is purely hypothetical. A patent application is not a product announcement, so there’s no guarantee that Microsoft will roll out a new kind of disc-to-digital conversion system. We’re just going to have to sit tight and see what happens. Use with digital games only; console does not play physical discs. 120 FPS: Requires supported content and display; use on Xbox Series S as content becomes available. Xbox Game Pass: Game catalogue varies over time (xbox.com/gamepass). Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and supported game; may require supported Bluetooth controller (all sold separately). Select regions and devices. Streaming limitations apply, server availability and wait times may vary. Requires internet, ISP fees apply. xbox.com/cloudgaming Changing your Xbox One optical drive is pretty straightforward – as long as you’re comfortable with soldering. That said, you’ll want to make sure to gather the proper tools. You will need:Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Games with Gold and EA Access that provide a wide range of games for a relatively trivial amount each month, negating the costly need to buy each game individually. You’ll also get a copy of Sea of Thieves, Minecraft and Forza Horizon 3 with every All-Digital console to get your library started. Xbox Game Pass: sold separately; game catalogue varies over time. See xbox.com/gamepass and https://www.ea.com/ea-play/terms and https://www.ea.com/ea-play for details. Finally, the patent doesn’t specify what happens to the disc copy of a game once you’ve verified it. It’s likely that each disc can only be authenticated once, in an effort to prevent digital piracy, although it’s unclear if it could still be used on a console that’s not connected to Microsoft’s servers.
