Can your xbox be damaged from damaged discs? If a put a CDR in to my xbox, will it fuck up? Or if I have a dirty disc will my XBOX be damaged. I read in the topic down below, 'ver1.0 or v1.1 does it really matter' that it can, is this true, because my XBOX also freezes. It is V1.1 and has a samsung disc drive.

A dirty disc might cause a problem, but the pickup head can be cleaned easily enough using any CD drive cleaning kit.
These newer drives should be able to handle a variety of discs without causing problems, especially if you haven't tweaked it. |

can any of these lens cleaning kits be used or is there some specific kit that is recommended (basically has someone successfully used a particular brand???)
also as with all drives - a badly scratched disc can damage beyond repair!!! |

Lets clear some things up, the only time a scratched disc can damage a drive is if the scratch is really deep. When u insert such a disc it may actually begin to bounce as the drive tries to access that area and this can damage the lense (I've had it happen) - generally though, this is rare and u wud know it was happening by the strange noises your drive wud make (clatters, whines etc.) - even then it wud only damage if it was left for some time.
if u haven't had these symptoms then I wud guess that its just that u cannot access certain parts of it. so it probably is not your drive. Now Samsung have had a bad rap bout their optical drives but this only applied to their early (1st?) generation drives, their current range, specially the one in the box, performs brilliantly with cdr/w's - I had a scratched audio disc that refused to read past the 2nd track but it didn't hurt the drive cos I removed it asap - so I really doubt if your drive is damaged. the definite test wud be to play some other game and see if it freezes! |

Do you mean the disc bouncing or the lens going rapidly back and forth tring to read the disc?
