Every disc put in the xbox just says reads but never opens the disc

Hello ckpynn,
I have had this problem myself with my own Xbox 360. From my experience, I have noticed that the issue is usually caused due to the Xbox not being able to read the disc. This could be due to the laser inside the Xbox is dirty or damaged - or it could be the disc itself. I never attempted to repair this because I found that after about 5 or more tries, my Xbox was able to read the disc.
When you open the tray to put the disc in or to try and get the Xbox to read it, try rotating the disc a little bit and insert again.
If this doesn't work, you may need to contact Microsoft technical support for further assistance.

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)

Disc drive is out, needs replaced, but inorder to replace it you must keep the original drive. You can either order one online and follow these instructions to do it ureself (recommended) or email [email protected] for a pricing for repair.

1. Make sure you REMOVE any discs from your XBOX' tray. 3. Turn on the console again, either by using the controller or the POWER button (NOT the EJECT button) and WAIT for the initial XBOX setup. ... This fixes the OPEN TRAY error 100 % of the time on my XBOX 360. XBOX 360 cd rom is not reading discs Google Search

Hi,
Took the Xbox into a local repairer - changed the Laser. Took an hour and 25 quid.
So all sorted.
Thanks again for the help.
Regards

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.
