Re: xbox 360 open tray error - fix/ideas needed
Its probably the laser thats goosed or if your lucky full of crud and needs a good clean, which can happen if its been in a smokers property.

I would try the dvd cleaner first, or if your a tight wad just get a thin wooden kebab scewer with a bit of cotton wool taped to the end, open the tray then remove the power supply and shine a torch inside and you should be able to see the lens.

moisten the end (spit on it if needs be but I use isopropanol) and give it a wipe.

Its worth a try but its probably the laser that is knackered.

Just be aware if you fancy having a go at replacing the laser which isn't a big job, make sure you get the correct one as theyre are a few different types available.

Just one quick question, when you insert a disc does it make a clicking noise before it spits the disc back out. If it does then its your laser thats a gonna.
