OK when i insert any of my 360 games, it reads and comes up with a message that reads "please insert disc into a xbox 360" so i try to cut it of and it goes off but it continues to hum loudly like it is still running...
Your laser/drive have gone bad. I would suggest contacting your local game stores to see if they do console repairs. If not then you would have to buy the drive/laser and install yourself, that or send it in to the dreaded Microsoft.

I have the same problem with the xbox 360 telling me to insert the game in the console. It scratched two brand new games. They are scratched so badly, I don't think they are repairable. Does any one have any suggestions besides sending it in for repairs. It has less then two hours of play on it.

I have the same issue with my 360,won't read 360 games but reads everything else. I already sent it in for this problem before and it was fine for awhile, but it's doing same thing again. only solution is to send it back for repair or have hard drive replaced (which will void warranty)

I am on the phone with support as i type this. I had the same problem where it would play the games if i worked at it. but it got worse and now nothing works on it. It is an issue that needs to be sent in when it gets to the point that mine is at. You might be ok messing with it in frustration. i would check to see if it is under warrenty. 360 support number: 800-469-9269

Do you have one of those play and charge cords plugged into one of your controllers while you are playing for an extended period of time? I ran into the same problem with my 360 continuing to run after I turned it off. If you unplug that cord from your controller the 360 will power down. It works for me. I do not however know the answer to the unreadable disc problem. My 360 just developed the same issue...Mine will read dvds and it even played my orginal xbox version of Halo, but doesn't read any of my 360 games including my brand new games that worked just prior to this problem arising. I have been looking around in message boards for a solution so I don't have to send my xbox 360 in for repairs. So far, nothing.

my xbox is getting a message saying please enter this disc into an xbox 360. help!!!! i dont want to pay money to get it fix is there anything i can do
When I put any game into my 360 it either says disc unreadable or says insert disc when a disc is already in there. This is the same with all my 7 games
discs notreading
I went to play a game and a purple screen came on & said update failed. how do i update it , & be able to play the game.
i stick in a new game and it comes up to a white screen with different lanuages on it saying please insert disc and it sound like its running still.
I fixed this same problem using a registry scanner. Here's a link to a good free one:

the problem I'm having with my xbox 360 is when I put a game in it, it reads and then says to put a game disc in like there isn't one in it, but there is, So far all I've done is put the game in and out, openning and closing the game. It started once and I played for a while but it started doing it again later.
my xbxo 360 will read some of my games but not them all
i have the same problem when i put in a game it says "reading" then jst goes bk to the option open tray. It just won't read the games.
i have the same problem, xbox won't read disc just reads open tray
I can turn my 360 on but it wont read the disk. It only says click to open tray again. The disk is new.
Disc not reading when inserted.
I put in a cd and it says open tray at the bottom
Find my answer in this thread and solve this problem soon ..
