Everytime i put a disc in my xbox it says open tray is there anyway to fix this? i've tried vaccuming all the fans and openings but that stopped working.

slap the shit out of it, works for me. just when it starts to make the weird noises give it a solid tap, and it will read the game.

alotta times you just have to completely replace the disk drive, so just google local xbox repair places if nothing else works

shit sucks. i had this with one of my xbox's, just ended up buying a new one for cheap. i made this thread and some of the stuff worked but nothing consistently, worth a shot

i get that every once in awhile. just leave it open with your xbox runnin. and then install the game onto your hard drive. it wont burn out the lazers.

When you get it, take the disk out them close the drive with nothing in it. You will here it trying to read it but nothing happens. Now just insert the game back in. Works like 95% of the time
