Problem Solved.

you need new game....some games have an exchange program but i dont think EA is one of them

Have you tried DVDs? If you have then you need to clean the disc head reader. That either involves taking it out or going on amazon and finding a head reader cleaning dvd. There may be a chance that a local best buy may carry them but it is a slim chance.

I would suggest giving Microsoft a call or going to xbox.com and getting them to guide you through setup and troubleshooting.

If the game has a ring around the disc like a scratch you want to go to game stop and have them buff it out . How your games got scratch ring on them if u hit or if you move the 360 from horizonal to vertical while theres a game in the dvd drive it will make a loud buzz sound like a blender with no ice in it and thats what put a scratch ring in your games . you can a skipped disc fix from game stop its called skip disc fixer . its a pate that you put on the game and gently buff out the scratch . For heavy scratches that r deep you might want to buy the game used.

william, as you and I are probably the only 2 ppl on earth who still have these systems(lol) E 82 is a memory malfunction. It could be fixed by swapping out your controller, as the removable memory is found there. Also, make sure you have your A/V cords plugged in correctly. If you don't it can give you a false rrod.

This is going to be a bit long -- but very detailed, so please read it carefully. There are several reasons that an xbox 360 system will have problem reading discs. The error messages also vary from unreadable disk, no message at all but the game skips, "please insert disc in a 360 console" to "open tray." There are a few reasons this mayhappen:

1.Bad disc. Check the back of your disc for scratches. If it looks good (or plays fine in another console), then the disc is probably fine. Also-- try more than 1 game to be sure.

2. Bad laser. The XBox 360 has a DVD drive very similar to a PC's DVD drive inside. The drive contains a bunch of parts including a few motors and gears and a laser.The laser is the part that actually reads the disc. The reality is...with all the hours and hours of game play, lasers do eventually wear out. The laser isn't very easy to replace, but it is replaceable. You can find any and all XBox 360 lasers at the following website:

3.Bad DVD Drive. Sometimes other components inside of the DVD drive can become bad such as the motor that spins the disk, the motors that open the tray, etc, etc. You can get a new DVD drive to just replace everything,including the laser, in one shot but there is a catch. The XBOX 360's DVD drive is tied to the motherboard using a software lock.The easiest way to overcome this lock is to buy the exact same manufacture DVD drive that is in your system now, remove the circuit board from the old DVD drive (which contains the software key) and transfer the circuit board into the new DVD drive that you purchase. If you do this simple procedure, there is no flashing involved. The following website carries DVD drives and also provides instructions on swapping the circuit board from the old drive into the new one.

I had a similar problem when I first connected my son's xbox using the Audio/Video cable (red, white, & yellow connectors). I connected the cable to the TV correctly, but incorrectly selected "component" as the input on the TV setup. Result was black and white display. Switch your TV input mode to "AV" or "Audio/Video" and you will get color. FYI, "component" TV mode is only used with devices that use the red, green, & blue connectors.

I'm not sure the xbox live dashboard is still supported on the original xbox.

Sounds like it's overheating, try moving it to a well ventilated area

Now u try on and u may be u push hardly this way swich go inside take a knife and try switch out then try

Did you try turing the xbox off? if not then I would disconnect it and then connect it back in and see if this works. if not then it might be dying.

Red Ring of DeathBuy a PS4

This error has been identified , and verified by myself when I first got it after playing BF4 the first few days it was out and got the message during the loading screen, to be an internal storage issue rather than any sort of connection problem. Most fast fixes recommend backing up your games,saves, etc. and formatting the HDD to original state to clear what is basically 'read-only' tagged info that is usually newer content or from an external source lke camera's, mp3,etc. How this content got set to a state where it can't be deleted individual is anybody's guess, but mine was the BF4 save data that caused it. I realized this when I popped in BF3 and loaded fine into campaign saved data as well as multiplayer matches with all custom options intact as well as playing a free to play MMO Dust with no issues or lost data. Glas I had only been playing for a couple days and didn't lose much other than level1-2 of the campaign. Strangely enough, the load-outs, server filters, etc. that are stored on EA's external servers remained as I had set them, but the local info (I.e. save data) was corrupt leaving the main options of controller, audio, video, etc. were set to default each time I played the game and reverted to the initial movie cut screen on the campaign mode. What is weird is that it would let me save and continue flawlessly until I turned of the PS3 and then it reared it's ugly head. Hope this helps and you are able to save most of your stuff seing as how it seems to be only from one source, folder, etc. that causes the problem.

Dirty disc, other region disc, not original game (copy) or just a bad dvd drive. The Thompson dvd drive on many of the original xboxes went bad pretty quickly. You can order a replacement dvd drive on ebay. The samsung replacement dvd drives are the best in my opinion.

if it is still flashing green/red its almost dead. If its red,sorry bro, but its..... well dead

Maybee its over heatind the real problem could be that someone pushed the tray closed and the tray could not be mounted on the mechanism proprly

Thank you for ruining the game by cheating.

Try unplugging everything off and then back on. Also, swtiching the power cord, if not i know Videogame911.com fixes both the cord and console.

You might have the so called "Lights of Dead" i had a related issue and sent it to videogame911.com they repaired mine, i had it back at the end of the week and they added a warranty.
