no it bothers me that it closes automatically as soon as I'm about to put a disc in.


This happened to me twice before, but instead the disc tray kept opening and I could never close it. What I did to fix it was I took apart the disc holder on the drive. Now if you look closely on either side of the drive there are these thin metal bands, which when touched together, open or close the drive. I believe the two metal bands on the right are for opening the drive and the two on the left are for closing the drive. Now the reason it keeps closing is because the metal bands are too close to each other causing them to touch and close the disc drive. So what you have to do is bend them slightly so they are far enough apart where they don't touch randomly. Then once your done put your xbox back toget her and your done I will try to find a video on it later if you are confused.
yeah I need a video cause I need to see someone else do it before I start rummaging through my xbox and break something cause I don't know what to do.
