A perished drive belt is the single most common reason an Original Xbox DVD tray refuses to open, opens halfway, or grinds and retracts. Rubber that has spent twenty years in a warm console goes slack and glazed, and no amount of cleaning brings it back. This is a replacement belt for that job.
What's in the box
- 1x replacement drive belt
Installation
Difficulty: Moderate. Not because it is technically hard, but because you have to get the drive out of the console and the top cover off the drive without snapping the tray latches. Tools: Torx driver for the housing, small Phillips for the drive, tweezers. No soldering. Time: 20-30 minutes.
Remove the DVD drive, take the metal lid off, slip the old belt off the pulley and motor spindle, degrease both with isopropyl alcohol, fit the new belt, test the tray by hand before you close anything up.
