Have you replaced anything on the xbox, or done any other work to it? If you replaced the original DVD drive with another one that is not "married" to the motherboard, it will not play game discs. The motherboard and DVD drive share a key, it is different for every system. If the DVD drive was replaced, here's a write-up that gives you some options on how to put the original key on your new DVD drive so that you can play games on it again.

ehart's solution worked for me. I just swapped out the board of the old drive and put it into the new one. Made sure to also swap out the motor and sensor wired in, that way i didn't have to desolder and resolder the pins. Overall, took me about 15 minutes.

thank you so much I know this post is old but I had the same problem and you fixed it!
I wanted this to work so bad but unfortunately it did not. My son got an original xbox 360 from a relative that has been in storage. He updated the os to the latest version and then the fun started. The xbox will play every ORIGINAL xbox game but not a single 360 game, it will play dvd's and cd's as well.
I asked if they had tried to replace the optical drive knowing abuot the board and key but they said no. So my son and I were the first ones to open the xbox 360, it looked like it too, as it was very dirty inside.
we tried every fix we could find, music cd, screw adjustment, new square belt, the board even looks perfect as well as the cables. We tend to think it is a software issue not hardware. Anyone out there have any ideas? Thank you in advance.

I’m a little confused here, and could really appreciate someone‘s help clarifying issue.
My 360’s BenQ drive stopped working. I swapped the board from it onto another BenQ drive I bought on eBay. The new drive was the same model, but different firmware version. I’m not sure if that matters. Anyway, it was able to play DVDs, but it’s not reading games.
I assumed, because I swapped the boards, that I wouldn’t need to do anything else. Is it a case that I still have to try to recover the keys? I guess my overall confusion is that if I swap the board already, the key should be there, right? The new drive didn’t come with a board, so I don’t know where I would recover the keys from other than the board that I already swapped onto the new. Am I SOL?
