Xbox 360 door tray off track and will not close
First, do not attempt to try to fix it right away. Unplug every cable and adapter, so you only have the xbox 360 console. Then, if a video game disc is still in there, take it out. Next, try to determine what your disc tray is stuck on, and try to remove it carefully. If these steps do not work, look at these articles. Manually eject your Xbox 360 console disc tray Xbox Disc Drive Solution.

I have recently bought the latest Xbox 360 console and it has been fine until recently the disc tray decides to open and close randomly for example i'll be playing a game then the disc tray will open and...
First step is to check and make sure that 1.) There is nothing stuck in the tray slot (even something very tiny can cause issues) and 2.) make sure there is nothing lodged in the open/close button.

Slap the top of the the box as you press eject. that will get it open.
then wipe a little rubbing alcohol on the black belt
just under the tray . And a little petroleum jell in the
tracks under the tray . Then open and close the tray to
work it in.
