How to fix Xbox 360 tray disc drive error WITHOUT opening OR voiding warranty
July 2nd, 2010
if you do this, remember to very very slowly tilt the 360. DO NOT tilt it in any other direction while the disc is spinning except up. if you do you will scratch your disc. badly. use at your own risk. this is how i fix any disc read problem with my 360. i’m guessing since the drive is so old the motors are unable to move without the little help of gravity with the faceplate facing up. or it could do something with the magnet that holds the disc in place, i’m not sure yet.

just a little heads up, this actualy works
so do this then install the game to your harddrive then start it up from games library, coz sometimes the disc will stop spinnin while you play the game… it will stop if you do install it though 
btw thanks man

if neither of those work for you then you’ll probably have to open up the drive
be very careful! the scratches on your disc come from the laser lens scratching against it u can feel the motor spin if it is a motor problem and it should start the game, if not u can try tapping the top of the xbox where the center of the disc should be a magnet should drop back into place, if ur not comfortable with hitting ur box then u will have to get a bunch of small tools and void the warrenty so make sure thats time limits up too
you can try tapping the top of the xbox where the center of the disc should be a magnet should drop back into place your simply trying to get it back into the correct spot
info on that trick( i wouldnt use a controller tho)

i tried doing the tapping trick that didn’t work…i tried tilting it made some sounds but that didn’t work…later after the tilting attempt it works on its own :]
thanks it worked awesome
i wish i found this vid earlier
ok , ive just did what the video told me to. BUT . i sacrificed my gears of war 2 game in doing so .
i tilted it so the green light was facin the roof. And then i titled it back even further. But my doing this it sounded like my xbox was churning up my xbox game. so u took it out . and now it has some bad”perfect circle” a scratch that looks like it has being done with a compass. All round your xbox disc. So i then put the xbox back on the floor and found that it now read all disc . xDrizz
this works. but it only worked because i titled my xbox back so far that it was churning up my xbox disc. in doing so a positive thing came out of this. My xbox could now read all xbox disc.
So if you decide to follow what i did .
Make sure it churns up a Crap xbox game. unlike what happened to me and it churned up my gears of war 2 :’)
I had this once, I restarted my Xbox 360 and it can read discs again.
@xDrizz id recommend to put a normal cd in.. its much cheapier than xbox game..
@xDrizz
Putting your Xbox on the floor will overheat your console and cause permanent damage. It is because the xbox will heat up the carpet, which will not cool down, as a wood surface would.
worth a try. i’ve been using the whacking method for the past two months.
i do the same thing everyday for 2k to work!!!!!!!!!! lmao thought i was the only one
thnx

thank you sooo much it worked yes!!!!!!
i wish i never bought my xbox. i bought alot of games for it and it would be a waste if i switched to ps3
oh my god, thank you soo much. I didn’t expect this to work. (to be honest it seemed like a pile of shit) But it worked amazingly. Thanks!!!!!!
