The open tray error indicates that you need your DVD drive replaced. If you are under your 1 year warranty go to www.xbox.com/support and fill out a repair request there. If you are out of warranty then I suggest getting the replacement done by a knowledgeable professional. If you are uncertain as to what you are doing it's very likely that even with a "Successful" repair your 360 will never play games again.


If you are getting 4 red lights that indicates that your AV cable is not properly inserted into the 360.
