This has been happening for about 4 months now. The games would work if i opened and closed the tray 3 or 4 times but then with mw3 it got to the point where it wouldnt play that game at all. I was able to play other games but I had to open the tray a lot to get it to work. Then about a week ago i bought a can of compressed air and shot a few bursts toward the laser. That worked and the games started up instantly. Then a few minutes ago, I was playing madden 12 and the xbox froze on the loading screen, tried it again and it said open tray, it took me 10+ open and closes to get it to work. Does anyone know what to do? Resident Evil comes out this Tuesday and i dropped all my money on it and im really excited for it and this open tray crap isnt helping. Thanks:)

SgtHatred42 wroteHmmm, try sending it to Xbox or just go out to the store and buy a new one? There is not much you can do... Have you tried reading the sticky above?TheGrey wrote What kind of Xbox is it?One of the last white models before they went to slim.

The same thing is happening to me. I dont know whats wrong and on a new game it isnt as bad but some of the older games I have like COD4 barely work at all. My Gears of War 3 will start up but when I get in a match it says disc is unreadable.Neither of them have any scratches on it.

TheGrey wroteYeah I ended up calling xbox, they told me to delete the system updates and that worked for about 10 minutes, but now it only seems to be saying open tray on mw3 and madden 12 it reads everything else pretty muchSgtHatred42 wroteHmmm, try sending it to Xbox or just go out to the store and buy a new one?

what worked for me was, open your tray hold it but not to tight, unplug your console make sure the disc tray doesn't close, wait 30 seconds, plug your console in put your game in and it should work. if it doesn't i don't know what else to do :s
