    Hi all, my x-box lately has been very slow loading games and usually reject games. Has anyone else had this problem? I fear that my x-box unit has just about had it. I hope that is not the case. I have disassembled the unit and dusted the inside. I just recently disassembled the cd-rom drive and cleaned the lens and lubed the slides. That seemed to help for now. Any new ideas?

    Thank you

    Cleaning the CD-ROM drive lens probably did it. They can pick up dust and smoke (if around) and eventually quit reading.
