    What did you use to clean the eye off?

      Re: Is it my XBOX

      I used compressed air for all the dusty, junk inside. To get some of the stuff that was a little tougher, I just used Q-Tips...some spots looked clean, but weren't.

      To clean the lens, I used contact lense cleaner on a Q-Tip. Worked VERY well.

      Honestly, I'd had some problems here and there, but recently it'd been acting up. I found some game were pickier than others. ASB being pickier... but cleaning REALLY did the trick.

      Pay attention to the DVD-ROm and really clean that well. Again, it voids your warranty, but unless you got an extended warranty, I don't think you get much at all with the XBOX.

            Thanks!

            Looks like Jim and I have some cleaning to do...

            I have the Thomson (sp) DVD drive.

            So I'll give it a shot...

                        Can you still trade in that machine?
                        Does EB and Gamestop still take them as trade-ins, if you have opened it and cleaned it?
                        Or do they see a broken seal, etc. and say that you are SOL?
