Easter Egg: Sound Credits
This occurs during your second Dark Prince transformation (this is in the large courtyard right before the first chariot sequence). In the corner of the courtyard, there will be a hole in the ceiling that respawns enemies until you leave the area. Near that is a panel you need to stab and hang from to open the exit. Climb the closest pole to the hole in the ceiling and a female voice will start announcing sound credits for the game.

Enjoy!

Okay well would you be able to try someone elses game? or even try a dvd? Your Xbox may be overheating and an internal part may be dying. It could be an easy fix, unfortunately I don't have enough information to give you an accurate description. If you still have a warranty you should just call Microsoft.

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. I do repairs like this by mail, you can contact me at [email protected] for more info if you'd like.

just enter cheats during gameplay

Sounds like a short in the wire. Idk if you are able to buy replacement wires, thats how companies get you so you have to buy a new controller

try doing a factory reset to check if its w/ the settings, also consider the cable

it may have a dirty laser, or you may need to replace the laser in the games loader assy. always easier to replace the entire loader mech.

Insignia and Geek squad has no other solution exvcept 1080i

try to keep the box in a spot where it and the power brick can stay cool.... same thing happened to my first box eventually it got the rings of death like so many other xboxs out there... so if keeping it well aired dont work you need to ring micro soft and have it sent off for repairs before it suffers a system failure
