Several days after installing my Reach disc onto my Xbox One in order to play it backwards compatible, my Xbox One now makes very loud spinning up noises when I insert a disc - any disc. It also takes slightly longer now for whatever it is to start up. The noise is vaguely like a wet scratch board. Now, here’s the thing: None of my discs have been scratched or damaged by the disc drive, and they all play just fine. The spinning up noise seems to be mostly superficial. But, this only started after I installed Reach.
Has anyone else had this problem? The only thing I can think of is that I also used a microfiber cloth to clean the dust out of the immediate opening of the disc drive. I don’t see how that could do any damage. And before you tell me to post this on the Xbox forums, I’ve done so, and I wanted to post here because the issue may have been caused by my Reach disc. However, it plays just fine on both my 360 and my One, so I don’t know why it would do this to my disc drive.
Hm, that hasn’t happened to my One. Of course, I never play disc games on it. Did anyone accidently hit it or something?
That’s really strange, man. I don’t know any answers to this. Hopefully someone else can help you. Sorry.
Well, I tried to see if the issue had resolved itself, so I put my Halo 5 disc in - to my delight, there was no awful spinning-up noise… until, a few seconds later, the disc refused to eject when I pressed the button. After much struggle to manually eject, I finally was able to eject the disc by pressing the button over and over… It finally came out after a horrid screeching noise.
I no longer trust disc-based backwards compatibility.
Oh wow. I need to check my One, then. Was the H5 disc damaged?
Do you have a warranty? Try sending it to Xbox and they may fix your disc drive as they fixed mine. My dad threw my Xbox on the floor and my disc drive broke but it got repaired and it got sent back to me with a new one that runs perfectly. Try Xbox support, they may help you.

How is the whole thing not broken? It was thrown on the ground.

No, my warranty expired.

No, not at all.

This video should explain that.
