idk if this is whats happening to yours but for me when i press the button to open the tray it makes a click sound and doesnt open, i have to tap it pretty hard for it to open. thats how i open my disc tray

no this is when you put a game in and it just keeps saying "open tray" and never reads the disk

Have you tried different games or is it every game?
Try unplugging eveything from your console including your hard drive and if you have some aerosol contact cleaner or compessed air, clean the contacts and make sure you plug them back in tightly. If this doesn't work, it seems that you can either send it in, or void your warranty by taking your drive out and fixing it yourself.
Good luck man!

aight, so yeah its all of my games not just one.
haha i have no more warranty, so i took it apart before, cleaned it up on the inside, opened the disk drive up, cleaned it and made sure it was all plugged in and stuff and then tried again. nothing

yeah il have to look into best buy warranty thing. il probably just get an arcade and put in my hard drive. i don't feel like sending it in to texas or wherever
yeah i thought maybe it was possible to just buy a new disk drive and put that in. cost less money this way

Best Buy is pretty reliable on their warranties. My iPod broke and I got a new one a year and half later for no cost. As far as the error goes, I think that you should just buy a new system because stuff doesn't last forever.

All u gotta do is leave a game in there and never take it out unless u wanna switch games and with my other xbox it would auto-close so i had to switch quick hope this works/helps yall
