Console does not read any discs and shows open tray in my xbox screen

You can do it yourself by opening the xbox 360 case and the dvd rom with a proper tools.. tighten with a screw (counter clock) right there!! (see the picture)

Ok I tried to put the whole post here but it is too big. Go to the web site below and follow instructions http://www.squidoo.com/xbox-360-diy-repair-guide

The disc maybe scrathed or dirty so it can't be read. Or it might it doesn't supported the disc's data

use a disc based lens cleaner. opening your xbox console will void your warranty.

Disc Error :- I have the same error. You can do 4 things.

A) You have to keep turning it on and off. Here's how... Turn it on, then click open tray then close tray ( keep opening and closing tray about 10 times) then turn the console off. Then keep repeating process for about 15-20 minutes and eventually the game disc will show up. ( I have to do this every time)

B) Make sure that this is covered by Microsof't's RROD warranty. Then some how get teh red rings on this console and send it to Microsoft. (Note: I am not held responsible for your actions.)

C) This is a lens problem. So go out to a store and buy a DVD lens cleanser. It's a disc that cleans the lenses of the DVD or the XBOX.

D) Open it up and replace the lens (like the above guy said) (much harder and more costly).


Pls rate my solution if it did help thanks.

The open tray and unplayable disc is because the lens isn't strong on the drive and needs to have a Pot calibration done to it to make the lens signal stronger. That should fix the open tray/unplayable disc issue. I have done this to quite a few drives and all have been working fine since.

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

the lens of the disc drive needs a check up...

My xbox is not reading discs. please help.

Getting to the dashboard screen is a good thing but still cannot rule out a bad circuit board or power supply. All the symptoms point to a bad DVD drive but the opening/closing by itself do indicate a problem with the microprocessor. Can you turn the power on and off with the small button?? If not, would definitely suspect bad board.
