It saved me money
The repair shops in Omaha all quoted me a $100.00 inspection fee and 2 to 3 week wait time. I don't game all that often on it anymore, and didn't want to buy an Xbox Series X if I could even find one. So I watched a few videos and decided to give the laser replacement a try, and to my amazement it works perfectly. I will need to replace the drive belt sometime in the future.

IF XBOX NOT READING TRY THIS FIRST!!!!
XBOX 360 was giving unable to read disc error and would not initiate games. I found this is a common usage based problem the older the unit gets. I researched my choices for repair and considered dig repair. I initially was in the process to buy another compatible DVD player and install. I researched this process and found there were some complicated technical issues involved in setting up. I continued searching in Amazon and found a review for this stating it will fix my specific problem. I figured for the price if it did not work I could go for the more costly and complicated process of installing DVD player.The seller actually reviewed my order after shipment and contacted me immediately requesting confirmation the part is what I ordered. That was a pleasant experience! (I happened to be having a bad day and this was a lifter for sure THANK YOU!)The product came fast as described. The instructions were to watch a video on YouTube. The directions were on point and the install was very simple *** other than having to open the box which by the way is another whole video*** This product not only worked but SOME of the games that were previously unable to be read because of severe scratching were now able to be played.In the future I will check this seller first for any of my technical fixes. Absolutely amazing service!!!

Works!
Installed fine, appears to be identical to the factory part. Anti static solder cal ball will need to be removed - don't get the Xbox back together before you remember that like I did. Recommend removing that solder ball *last* just before you reassemble the drive. Grounding/ESD recommended! Replace the belt while you're in the drive too!

Just Replace Your Laser Lens!!! DO NOT TRY TO CALIBRATE YOUR OLD LENS!!!!!
Nextec! Thank you so much! I had the "Open Tray" issue with my Xbox 360 Slim. After a little research, I decided to replace the Laser Lens since it is pretty cheap. There are many videos online that show you how to replace it and it was pretty easy to do. Everyone mentions removing the solder ball or blob from the circuit board prior to installing but mine didn't have it so I didn't have to use my soldering iron! I started my Xbox and it read my games! I spent over 2 hours trying to calibrate my old lens........I wish I had just ordered the new Lens from Nextec in the first place! Do not try to calibrate your lens........Just replace it........So much easier..........

Works great.
The laser lens was definitely what I needed for my xbox to start working again. Just know you do have to do some soldering (at least I did) in order for this to work. There's a great video on YouTube by Dustin Rogers titled "Xbox: Anti-Static Solder Ball Removal" if you need the help like I did. The lens came quickly and the seller was super helpful when I had questions, like when I thought my laser was broken after installing it without removing the discharge soldering. Would definitely recommend to everyone.

Super easy to replace, identical to the original.
My Xbox 360 was having issues with reading disks. Sometimes it would read them find, other times it would pop up giving a dirty disk error. I purchased this, installed it, and the 360 is reading disks like it did when I first bought it. Make sure you clean and lubricate the rails and you should have no problems with it. I didn't have to adjust the pot at all and mine did NOT have the solder ball on it. The original laser only lasted around 3 years so I am going to order one additional to keep as a spare.

Exactly what I needed for "Open Tray" issue, works great!
Every time I buy something from nextec direct, I always have a good experience. The price for this laser was one of the best out there, and they even offer a partial refund offer if you leave a review (which have always been for the positive for me!). It came in fast and fixed my "Open Tray" issue with my Xbox 360 Slim. Just make sure you get the right one and you may have to take of one piece of solder, but nextec provides links to installation videos on their website.

Wow, didn't even expect half of the result!
Ok, I was skeptic about this, My XBox 360 is becoming old, and it doesn't read most of the game discs, I had to reinsert some discs around 20 times for it to recognize them, then I said why not spend some small money to fix it for the kids, and I really didn't think it would make any difference.Well, boy I was wrong!, replacing the laser made a huge difference, the Xbox even started to read scratched discs I thought they were gone forever!Thanks nextec, solid quality.definitly recommended!
