Xbox rejecting disk tray...

Deehjay · 6 Aug 2012 at 12:06

Literally. Whenever I close the tray it just reopens, thus, I can't play any games which require a disk..
Any suggestions other than disassembling the system? Out of warranty anyway so if I have to I'll have to buy a new one..

Get a T10/T8 screw driver an pop it open, it could be a short or just a sticky eject button.
Other than that put the disc in an wrap loads of masking tape around the drive (kidding).

On my old 360, the silver trim got dislodged slightly which meant it was catching and wouldn't close. Then, the other day I took the front of my elite to take a picture of the usb flap for someone on here and when I put that back on I had to jiggle it slightly as the tray wouldn't close then either. Might be worth checking it's not catching.

I don't think it could possibly be the eject button though could it because I've tried closing it on the dashboard?

No it can still be the button.

Take the front fascia of it, see if it closes then. Should just pop off I believe (but google it).

The drive then is catching on the front face plate. if you re-seat it you'll probably be fine.

Or get a new funky one, either way

Probably, because when I tripped over a wire that charger my headset a while ago my xbox fell out of the cupboard it was in and I noticed towards the left hand side at the front it was slightly nudged.
Also, the disk tray button is wonky o.O
