hey this may be an odd question but does anyone on here do systems repairs??? mine needs it pretty bad. its pushing five years now and it sounds like a dial up modem when a disk in the tray. and i really dont have the money to go get a new one.
Theevol1 fixes them normally but his stuff is still in disarray from moving.
For a disk tray, between shipping both way and parts to repair it, you're looking at it costing close to the same to repair as replace, I'd imagine.

Kat's right - IIRC Gamestop had a sale on a refurbished 360 for under $100. Just an option you may want to look into.

He does good work, that's for sure. My Japanese Xbox was repaired by him. It hasn't broken again (yet).

Does it have any other symptoms? Is it freezing, or not playing discs? Does it take a few times to get games to play or saying open tray when a game is in? Is anything otherwise abnormal about its performance, or is it just really loud?

Is that the same box you said smelled like it was burning a couple weeks ago?

Well it's not like he did anything to the wiring... The box was spotless when it came from Mini- so maybe it's all your dust?

Nah it's because it's in a semi-enclosed housing so it gets very warm. It only did it the first time I turned it on in about 6 months. It's fine now, just very loud (it's a launch console).

I have one of those, too. It's red ringed right now and in a box ready to be shipped but I am not sure if I really want to fix it or replace it. Being as loud as it is, I am tempted just to let it sit in the box.

If I were to guess, the disc tray belt is stretched and worn which throws the timing off on your drive, and your worm gear is dry or your worm gear motor is binding. That usually causes your drive to chirp and squeak. None of these things are very expensive.
