Is your Xbox One S no longer reading game discs or Blu-ray movies? If discs load and eject normally but the console struggles to recognise or read them, the optical laser inside the Blu-ray drive may be failing.
Console Wizard provides a professional Xbox One S Blu-ray Laser Repair for £59.99. We diagnose the disc-reading fault and repair the optical drive where the laser is confirmed to be responsible.
This service specifically targets disc-reading and Blu-ray laser faults. If your Xbox One S will not accept a disc, has a disc stuck inside or will not eject correctly, please select our separate Xbox One S Disc Drive Loading & Eject Repair.
Xbox One S Laser Repair
The Xbox One S Blu-ray drive uses an optical laser assembly to read compatible game discs and Blu-ray media.
As the optical assembly deteriorates, the console can begin struggling to recognise or read discs even though the mechanical loading and eject system continues to work normally.
Common symptoms include:
• Xbox One S not reading game discs
• Xbox One S not reading Blu-ray movies
• Disc loads normally but is not recognised
• Console repeatedly attempts to read the disc
• Some discs read while others do not
• Disc read errors after inserting a game
• Games previously worked but are becoming increasingly difficult to read
The drive is tested before repair to establish whether the optical laser is responsible for the reported fault.
Xbox One S Not Reading Games Repair
If your Xbox One S accepts the game disc normally but does not recognise it, the problem may be associated with the optical reading system inside the Blu-ray drive.
A failing laser can become increasingly unreliable and may struggle to read certain discs before eventually failing to recognise compatible media altogether.
Our engineers test the drive and, where the laser is confirmed faulty, repair the optical assembly so the console can correctly read compatible discs again.
Xbox One S Not Reading Discs
A disc-reading problem does not automatically mean that the Xbox One S laser is faulty.
A scratched, dirty or damaged disc can produce similar symptoms, so we recommend testing several known-working game discs before booking a repair.
If multiple clean, known-working discs fail to read while the drive continues to accept and eject them normally, the console's optical drive should be investigated.
Xbox One S Blu-ray Laser Replacement
The optical laser is located inside the Xbox One S Blu-ray drive and is responsible for reading data from compatible optical discs.
Where testing confirms that the laser assembly has deteriorated or failed, our engineers can replace the faulty optical components while retaining the console's original Blu-ray drive electronics.
After repair, the drive is tested with compatible media to confirm that disc-reading operation has been restored.
Xbox One S Not Reading Blu-ray Movies
A failing optical laser can also cause problems when attempting to play compatible Blu-ray movie discs.
If your Xbox One S loads the Blu-ray normally but repeatedly fails to recognise or read the disc, the optical drive may require repair.
Testing both games and compatible Blu-ray media can help establish the nature of the reading fault.
Does Every Xbox One S Disc Read Fault Need a New Laser?
No. We should first establish that the problem is actually within the console.
Before booking a laser repair, try several clean and known-working discs. If only one particular game fails to read while other discs work correctly, the individual disc may be damaged.
Other faults within the Blu-ray drive can also cause disc-reading problems, which is why diagnosis is carried out before assuming that the laser requires replacement.
Xbox One S Laser Repair vs Disc Drive Repair
The Xbox One S Blu-ray drive contains both an optical reading system and a mechanical loading and eject system. These can develop different faults and should not be treated as the same repair.
• Disc loads and ejects but will not read = Laser / optical drive repair
• Disc will not enter the drive = Loading mechanism repair
• Disc stuck inside the drive = Loading / eject mechanism repair
• Disc will not eject = Loading / eject mechanism repair
• Grinding or clicking while loading = Mechanical drive inspection
If the disc enters and ejects normally but the Xbox One S cannot recognise games or Blu-ray media, this Laser Repair is the appropriate service.
Why Do We Retain the Original Xbox One S Blu-ray Drive?
The Xbox One S Blu-ray drive electronics are associated with the console, so replacing the complete drive with an unrelated drive is not the correct approach to a simple laser fault.
Where the optical laser is responsible, we repair the drive while retaining the original drive electronics required by the console.
This allows the faulty optical section to be repaired without unnecessarily replacing the complete Blu-ray drive.
What Does the £59.99 Xbox One S Laser Repair Include?
Our Xbox One S Blu-ray Laser Repair costs £59.99 and includes:
• Blu-ray drive fault diagnosis
• Optical laser inspection and testing
• Faulty laser repair/replacement where confirmed
• Original Blu-ray drive electronics retained
• Game disc reading test
• Blu-ray drive operation testing
• Professional console reassembly
• 3-month repair warranty
The console is tested following repair to confirm that the Blu-ray drive is reading compatible discs correctly.
Should I Clean the Xbox One S Laser Myself?
We do not recommend dismantling the Blu-ray drive simply to attempt to clean the laser unless you are experienced with console repairs.
The optical mechanism contains delicate components, and incorrect dismantling can cause additional damage to the drive.
If several known-working discs consistently fail to read, professional diagnosis is preferable to repeatedly dismantling or adjusting the optical assembly.
Xbox One S Disc Loads but Does Not Read
If a disc is pulled smoothly into the drive and ejects normally but the Xbox One S fails to recognise it, this is different from a mechanical loading fault.
The loading mechanism has successfully moved the disc into position, so attention can then be focused on the optical reading system and other components responsible for recognising the disc.
This distinction helps ensure the correct repair is selected.
3-Month Xbox One S Laser Repair Warranty
A successfully completed Xbox One S Blu-ray Laser Repair includes our 3-month repair warranty covering the original repaired fault.
The warranty covers the repair carried out by Console Wizard and does not cover unrelated faults, accidental damage or damaged game and Blu-ray discs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an Xbox One S laser repair cost?
Our Xbox One S Blu-ray Laser Repair costs £59.99.
Why is my Xbox One S not reading game discs?
A failing optical laser is one possible cause, but damaged discs and other Blu-ray drive faults can produce similar symptoms. Several known-working discs should be tested before the laser is assumed to be faulty.
Can you repair an Xbox One S that reads some discs but not others?
Yes. An optical laser can become increasingly unreliable as it deteriorates. The drive can be tested to determine whether the laser is responsible.
Can you repair an Xbox One S laser in Bolton?
Yes. Console Wizard provides Xbox One S laser repairs from our repair centre at 517 Tonge Moor Road, Bolton, Greater Manchester, BL2 3BG.
What if my Xbox One S will not accept the disc?
If the console will not accept, load or eject discs correctly, please select our separate Xbox One S Disc Drive Loading & Eject Repair rather than this laser repair.
Do you replace the complete Xbox One S Blu-ray drive?
For a laser fault, the original drive electronics are retained and the faulty optical section is repaired rather than unnecessarily replacing the complete paired drive.
Can a scratched game disc cause the same symptoms?
Yes. Test several clean, known-working discs first. If only one disc fails while others work correctly, the individual disc may be responsible.
Does the Xbox One S laser repair have a warranty?
Yes. A successfully completed repair includes our 3-month repair warranty covering the original repaired fault.

Yes. Our Xbox One S laser repair is available throughout the UK using our mail-in repair service.
