This tends to be a problem with the DVD drive. After a while they just seem to wear out. You could buy a replacement drive on E-Bay but you would need to void your warranty to replace it. If you go that route, make sure you get the EXACT brand and model, and be sure the firmware is included with the DVD drive when you purchase it. But this has also been a sign of the red ring of death. The GPU sits right under the drive, and the heatsink will send heat right to the drive. On a few I have seen like that, there were black burn marks on the drive from the heatsink. If that is the case I would send it into Microsoft(1-800-4my-xbox) if you have not voided the warranty in any way. But if you want to try it yourself, you can find lots of helpful information at Llamma.com. Hope that helps :)

I have the same problem

Comment by boredcrazy, posted on Nov 15, 2007

We have the same problem with every game except one, we will get a white screen or the play game button would say "play DVD" or "open tray". When we first started having these problems, we would turn off the 360 and try it again, it usually worked and it only happened with Oblivion, now it won't work for any game except Call of Duty 2. We didn't start having these problems until the warranty conveniently expired.

Comment by Guest, posted on Nov 06, 2007
