Disk Tray Won't Close!

Has anyone seen this before?

It all started whilst I was playing GTA when I heard a strange buzzing sound coming out of the machine. Next thing you know, there's a nasty circular scratch on the CD.

Since then, the disk tray has refused to stay close (even when the Xbox is off!) meaning I can't play any of my games! It closes for a second but then pops back out again!

And by the way 2 weeks before this incident, my Xbox cracked 2 of my games.

So what do you guys think I should do? Is there any way I can fix this issue myself or am I going to have to send this junk for repair once again?

Any help would be much appreciated.:D

Send it for repair. I'm about 90% positive that ms will only make you pay shipping.UT_Wrestler

Good because I think my warranty's ran out. Thanks!

Lol i have the same problem just stay on your dashboard and when you put your cd in and then right when it's inside the 360 keep pressing the button to open and close the disc tray until it says reading or until the green lights in the front of your 360 stop flashing this is the only problem i have with my 360 and i've been having it for 2 yearsOMG789

That's too much of a bother for me just to play a game. I think I'm better off sending it in for repair. Thanks anyway.

Boss_2, I've had exactly the same problem as you. It was with my 1st 360. I only had it for a week when that started happening. The only way I could close it was to shut it off when the drive was closed. I can't remeber if I actually had to pull the power cable to shut it.
It's a disk drive failiure. Ship it and close the drive with the above way. : /

Yeah, I have to pull the power cable out too just to shut the damn thing.

Thanks for your help.

If they charge you $100 or more to get it fixed or dont want to buy a new one

You can always just buy replacement DVD-ROM for around $69.95

very easy fix...
