Ouch, horrible problem.
Try these:
1. hold the eject button for 30 seconds
2. leave the xbox off for a few minutes
3.try a new outlet[may not have enough power to do anything]
4.get a new power cord
Hopefully this helps

1 i think the xbox cleans its own lens but check the manual if not get a good lens cleaner.

2 clean the disc always clean your discs after and before you use them.

3 take off your hard drive and any memory cards and reset xbox to factory settings

My xbox 360 wont play my 360 games it always says open tray

try to get those pressurized air guns and blow it in there. for a quick check try to blow into the tray lightly. this could be caused by dust build up. Microsoft doesn't cover this so if that don't work open it up and test the connection in the back of the drive to see if it's loose. if its not that. open up the drive and get a q-tip and dip it in alcohol then clean the laser eye with it lighly

I close the disk tray and immediately opens again and stays open

Hello,Do you have the original face place on? Some after markets will cause the open tray button to stick. Next check the button to see if it moves freely, when doing this, also try feeling the button if it bottoms out, check for any debris behind the button, If these don't change the situtation, then there is a sensor on the tray to tell if it's opened or closed, the sensor is either malfunctioning or something could be stuck to the bottom side of the tray from preventing the disk to load, The last thing would be to look into is there a forgien object stuck in your tray area like a piece of papper or plastic, I hope this will help resolve your problem, we look forward to hearing back from you and please have a nice day, Thanks

Xbox trouble

Your CD Drive tray needs new alignment. I don't know what to say about your Video Port since it works sometimes.
