Have had this happen several times.. maybe due to my childish tempers and the xbox recieving the end brunt of the cheating games and my fist..LOL
Heres how I fixed this.
Your gonna have to open the unit up, very easy to do with several screws at the bottom.
The unit will break away and you will see a chrome protection piece which will need removed also, make sure the unit is unplugged.
After you have it broke apart manually open and close the tray, you will see the lock mechanism which the tray lowers into and the release .
Open and close this several times you may also want to blow out the unit and clean it while its open,{ I use a que tip and alcohol, allow to dry before doing anything}. Close the unit back up and restart it.
This should help.,

The xbox 360 elites keeps on saying open tray when trying to play

1, the disc may be dirty
2. the mian reason for this your xbox drive cannot read the disc , because the power of the lens is gone(not completely) ,

solution:

1. keep your disc inside the drive and switch off the console, again swith on try this 2 to 3 time
2. keep the console in vertical position or little slanding position(180 dg) make sure it does not fall

3. its better to buy hatddisc and load the game inside it , so that u lens life increased

4. change the entire drive

Xbox will not read games in dashboard. "If you load a game in the tray and close it, it will not go to the game just say open try"

Ah, It does this for me. One thing you could do is to just repeatedly open and close it, this usually works for me. If it's to much of a nuisance, then you could take it to a store that repairs them or ask Microsoft about it. I'm sure it's nothing to hard to fix.

Xbox 360 open tray error

How I worked around the "Open Tray" problem, where the game discs were not being recognized:

1. Open tray
2. Unplug power cable while tray is open
3. Plug in power cable
4. Power on console - tray closes
5. Open tray
6. Insert disc
7. Try your game

Good luck! Source: Someone else mentioned this in a forum somewhere, however I don't recall who it was or which forum. I'm just trying to get the word out so people don't send in their XBOX for repair, or open the case and void the warranty if this workaround resolves the problem.
