Xbox One Temporary Solution to fix the Disc Drive? Punch It! (Not Recommended)

[spark_777]

Well, this one seems rather odd.

Kotaku is reporting that a temporary solution to fix Xbox One's disc drive problem (I'm not even sure what to make of this) is to... punch it.
You read that right. You punch it and the problem goes away. So far, some who tried the method says it actually works.

The way to do this: you flip your Xbox One and then punch it on its back. That's it.

Here's the video to prove it. WARNING: As much as I'd like to suggest this to those who have the same problem, I'd probably not. It might break yours apart. Proceed with utmost caution.

Whoa. You actually punch the Xbox One to fix the problem? I don't think I'll ever do this if I get a problem like this. My hands are like stone. They can break anything apart. This isn't something I'll every recommend to those who want fix their Xbox Ones. No way, no way. I do not recommend this.

No, no, no. This isn't a good solution at all. I'm glad that those who've tried this got their Xbox One fixed but for those who still have problems, I advise NOT to do this. You're just going to wreck the Xbox One further. Heck, it might even cost you more. Don't do this.

O_O Are you serious? Somebody punches their console to make it work? I'm shocked man. NEVER in my life did I punch a console. NEVER. This isn't something I'll ever do in my entire life. My hands are as heavy as stone. I mean, I do boxing for cardio so I'm sure that the moment I punch the console, it's already gone to the skies of the dead consoles. Nope, not doing this.

That's actually hilarious

That's actually hilarious

Hilarious enough to make it work for those who give this a try. I'm just surprised somebody did this. Hahaha. It reminds me of that guy Fonzie from Happy Days. He'd just smack the jukebox when it didn't work and then... it worked. Still, I'm not doing this. I'm not Fonzie, so no way will I do this at all. Probably the Xbox One would fall apart if I did.

WTF........if you already have another one on the way, why not give it a try. Might get you through waiting on the new one. I'm laughing thinking of the first guy who just got pissed off, beat the s..t out of his Xbox and it actually started working.

About 10 years ago I used to smack my old Dell and it would start working again....I might have smacked my Sega Genesis a few times too lol

Exactly. I'm not the one to do this, especially when you know the punch we do can break things apart. Never will I punch a console. Unless I'm someone with tiny hands, I'd rather not. That's why I'm not going to ask Thor to smack a console. It'll be gone in an instant XD But seriously, not recommended to do this.
