Depending on the type of disc drive that you have in your Xbox 360 console, use one of the following methods:

 

Method A: Insert a straightened paper clip or another small, stiff wire into the first hole from the left side of the disc tray. To release the disc tray, push the paperclip into the hole to press the manual eject mechanism. The manual eject mechanism is a white lever that is visible behind the console casing. The hole is located about one-and-a-half inches (approximately four centimeters) from the left edge of the disc tray.

 

Method B: Insert a straightened paper clip or another small, stiff wire into the second hole from the left side of the disc tray. Push the paperclip repeatedly into the hole to turn a gear to release the disc tray. The hole is located about one-and-a-half inches (approximately four centimeters) from the left edge of the disc tray.

 

Method C: Insert a straightened paper clip or another small, stiff wire into the into the hole that is directly under the "X3" in the Xbox 360 label on the disc tray to release the disc tray. The hole is located about one inch from the right edge of the disc tray.

 

In each case, make sure that you line up the paperclip or stiff wire to pass through another notch behind the hole on the console casing.

How to resolve Xbox 360 disc read errors. Xbox will not play disc.

Is your xbox360 having trouble reading disc? In this guide I will provide some common solutions to help you fix your disc read issues.

1)Remove any memory devices or usb flash drives.
2)If the disc you are using is excessively scratched, this can cause the xbox to have trouble reading the disc. You can use a damp soft cloth to try and clean the disc. Grab the disc by the edges and using a soft damp cloth lightly wipe the disc from the center going outward.

3)Try removing your Xbox hard drive and then play a disc. Turn off the console. Locate the hard drive on the top of your system(depending on how you have it positioned). Press the release button on the hard drive.

If your system can read disc without the hard drive attached then you may need to replace the drive.

4)Clear the Xbox360 cache. Clearing the cache may remove updates to certain games. Keep this in mind.
Go to System Settings in the My Xbox menu. Select Memory, highlight your storage device and select Clear System Cache. Try and play the disc.

If after the above steps you are still having trouble. You may want to contact Microsoft Xbox live support to have your system serviced. You can find the support information in the link below,

My xbox360 game doesnt read

things you can do:
1.) Clear System Cache. To do so, on My XBox, go to System Settings then Memory. Under the Memory Units, scroll to the Hard Drive (don't select it, just highlight it) and access the Device Options (Y-Button). Select Clear System Cache. Then restart your console.
2.) Try removing the Hard Drive, if you have. Turn off your console, then remove your Hard Drive. Turn it back on, and try to play the game.
3.) After #2 and still doesn't work, try removing all memory units. Turn off the console, remove the memory unit and/or USB Flash Drives. Turn it back on, and try to play the game
4.) is this happening with just one specific game disc? or other game discs too? • if this is only happening with this specific game, have you tried using the game disc in a different console? It is still didn't work, you may have to replace your disc • if this happening with other game discs as well, you might have to call it in for a repair or visit xbox.com to process a repair online.

Xbox360 will play cds but no games, says onscreen

If your Xbox 360 will not play your games this is because of the sensors on the back of the drive overheating it is not normally the laser.

Luckily you can fix this yourself and get back to your games and to do this you need the proven Xbox 360 Repair guide.

Or you can send it in and they will fix it for you the repair will take about 4 weeks.

Sometimes like you mention it will still play CD's though.

My xbox 360 loads in but when i put in a game it dosent load in the game

You could temporarily upload all your games to your xbox360 hard drive using your pc to play or buy a new disc drive but you would have to flash the firmware or manually swap the bottom internal boards inside of the new disc drive with the old one.

Disc is stuck in my sons xbox360, is there anything i can do without having to send it to germany, im uk, thanks

Hi Jim,
I can see how your son might have felt missing his fav games for the day, apparently the only possible solution would be to open the XBOX and removing the disc manually. Make sure that the warranty sticker is not torn or scratched while you do this process.
And if you are not confident then I would recommend you to fedex it to Germany Hope this helps
