Broken Xbox One? This Might Fix It - But Don't Try It (VIDEO)

Apparently You Can Fix Some Broken Xbox Ones By Punching Them

If you're unlucky enough to have one of the small number of Xbox Ones with a faulty disc drive, you only really have one option: send it back. Not only will Microsoft dispatch your new machine before the old one arrives, but they'll also give you a free download of one of their exclusive launch games. Neat.

For a select group of brave and foolhardy gamers, however, that isn't enough. They've developed a technique to fix their machines that would be genius, if it wasn't obviously stupid.

They're punching their Xbox Ones.

According to reports (and a few videos posted on YouTube) repeatedly hitting your Xbox One seems to be pushing something back into place, and making the awkward griding turn into a smoothly spinning drive ready to play Dead Rising 3.

Take a look - but again, don't do this. It almost certainly voids your warranty. You know, because you're punching it.
