I bought an old original xbox 2001 model and when I play a game about 20 minutes into play I get a black screen that says the disc may be dirty or damaged and it does this to every game.. and the discs are all spotless, I heard the thompson drive in it is crappy so I bought a samsung drive and switched it and the game doesn't even come on and all I get is the Xbox logo screen.. any ideas?

Might be a bad DVD laser. Those were a known issue. Easy enough to replace.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk yes it was brand new and I installed it and put in a game disc and the XBOX logo just sits there..
