To start this off first, my friend wanted me to work on his Xbox 1, since he wanted to mod it, but it also needed a new dvd drive or so we thought.
Today I spent the day with one of my friends doing the normal, which is going shopping and playing video games. Well we wanted to working on his xbox since he bought a memory card for it and I could then transfer over the files needed to hack into it. Well after getting that all done I threw in a game just to make sure the dvd drive was really broken. Now we've spent months under the assumption that this thing was broken and couldn't read disks since it kept giving him and error (that we didn't even bother to read.) Well today I threw in an M rated game only to happen to read the error message for once. Then it dawned on me, the parental controls were still on...after months of trying to get a new dvd drive, it turns out that was never even the problem to begin with. After figure out how stupid it was NOT to read the error message, I finally fixed the settings and BAM! The games worked! It was like night and day! Then I was able to work on his xbox for him.
The moral of this story, read the error message, it is there for a reason. To tell you want you are doing wrong.
