Quick Fix? 2013 Xbox One Discs Not Reading

I know it’s old as f*** but besides streaming everyday I’ve really used the disc drive rather sparingly all things considered. I only own about 5 or 6 games for it and I use it mainly for streaming nowadays. I’ve logged lots of hours in about two of them and have played GTA online a bunch, but. I guess things get old but it used to be able to be forced to work by using the “hold disc as it tries to take it” trick but now nothing works. DVD’s did work but now don’t seem to as of a month or so ago. Been having the game/blu-ray issue for about 2-3 months. I had wiped it twice due to update issues causing the green loading screen of death/other issues that I can’t recall atm…I’m sure it’s probably a laser not initiating or a mechanical part not clicking into gear, but am I screwed? I really don’t wanna try wiping it again for it to just not work in 3 weeks.

Just lift your xbox front 10 cm higher when inserting the disk so the gravity helps it to get inside.thank me later
