Doesn’t recognize disc

For a good replacement laser assembly for the Xbox Original:

1. Check with Microsoft or authorized repair centers for OEM replacements.
2. Look for reputable third-party sellers specializing in Xbox Original parts.
3. Consider salvaged parts from used Xbox Original consoles.

Tweaking the laser power pots (potentiometers) to increase the power can sometimes improve disc reading. However, it is important to note that this procedure requires technical expertise and may void your warranty. There is a risk of damaging the laser or other components if not done correctly. Additionally, increasing the power can shorten the lifespan of the laser and potentially cause other long-term issues.
