Try a hair dryer, open the disc drawer ( without any game inside) and hold the hairdryer right up to the hole where the drawer goes in. Worked on mine.

This is actually quite a common problem and the reason normally is not the DVD drive being faulty, what causes it is the sensors at the back of the DVD drive are taking too much heat.

To stop this you need to stop the heat which you can do by sending it off for repair or fixing it yourself using a proven Xbox 360 Repair guide

What do you do when your xbox won't read disks?

The main problem might be a big problem with the disk tray. There might be an faulty wire that has lost connection and if your disk wont event turn on, there might be a problem with the power supply that supplies the cd tray. If the disk opens and closes but doesnt read and wont say tray is in and keeps saying open tray, there might be a small fracture on some of the wires or there is something wrong with the motherboard of the xbox 360. The best way is to buy the warrenty now and send it to the xbox 360.

On my xbox 360 when i insert a disc to play, it just comes up with open or close tray and wont play the disc

check around the disk tray for dust and use a vaccum cleaner to clean it, then use a wet cd lens cleaner with cleaning fluid a few time.
This should cure the problem but it might be that your drive is dead
