My disk drive won't open...

Yup.. so my 360's disk drive doesn't open, but only when it's standing vertically. It'll occasionally open when there's a disk in it, but when there isn't.. it doesn't open up at all. I realize I could just sit it horizontally, but I'd rather get the problem fixed before it gets worse. It's still under warrenty for awhile, so I'm probably going to send it in.

I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem, and if they fixed it or not... and yeah. I suppose that's about it.

My brother's 360 did this even when he had his horizontal, but all that we had to do to get it to open was smack the top of the 360 pretty hard. A few weeks later his 360 got the three red lights, so i would recommend sending yours in. brickbazooka05

did it occur to you that the RROD came about because u was smacking the top of it ?

yes, but i was just trying to tell this kid how to get it to open, and i was trying to tell him that the best thing to do is probably send it in.

Exact same thing for me. It takes a few tries to get it to open when its vertical. But, my system is always horizontal anyways.

My friend has had this problem for a while and his system is fine. If you want you can sent it in though.

that happened to my older brother's regular xbox, if u didnt have a disk in it it had a hard time opening. as to your question, all you need is a FORK! but sending it in sounds better..... maybe hahaha

mine has done this just push the drive gently and it should ejectspue

thats what i did with my old XBOX 360

this work for me, thank you had my drive fixed before halo 3 came out it would not open or close, a cable snapped from the case being closed or droped

anyway thank you

I'm on my second X-box and I have the same problem when a disk isn't in the tray. In the occurance that I accidentally close it without a disk I have to pop the front off and grab the small nail I keep taped to the top of my X-Box and shove it in one of the small holes to manually eject the drive. It also sounds like a car without a muffler while reading disks. I've been installing my games to my hard drive in hopes of prolonging the inevitable. =/

My xbox just started doing this about last week.

I have had the same problem for over a year now and my 360 still works fine, don't worry about it.
