It keeps telling me to open the tray, and it says reading then open tray. it will not start the game

The XBox 360 is a wonderful video game console, however, with heavy usage, the laser (and/or other components in the drive) will eventually burn out. The first signs of the laser starting to burn out is that your game will start freezing during game play. Eventually the games will stop reading altogether and you will get an "OPEN TRAY" message when you put a disc in and close the tray. What this means is that the XBox 360 thinks that there is no disc in the system.

The laser is dirty, or just getting weaker. The Open Tray message is a result of it timing out. I would recommend a new drive.

Just keep closing and opening the tray, sooner or later it should read the disk.

Call microsoft at 1-800-4-MYXBOX

put in a game and as soon as it starts to say "reading" give the old box a few taps on top where the dvd drive is at. Keep tapping until it reads your game. May not work the first time so keep trying. This usually happens due to poor or loose laser mounts. If this doesnt work your gonna need to open it up. You can look at You Tube for that. Good Luck.

try to push the disc tray in manual. do that before you put the game in and if it ejects it push it in manually again

it could be that u got **** like food in your x box360 open it up and clean it out put it back to gether and try it if this dose not work tell me at [email protected] ty
