Xbox 360 "open tray" problem

[Microwilli]

Hey guys,

 

I have got 4 xboxes here to repair, 2 of them seem to have that wierd problem, that when you insert a game, it doesnt read it and on the xbox menu it says "open tray", i dissasembeled the drive of one of them and i didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, so i assembeled it again, for some reason the one i dissasembeled works again now so i tried it with the other one aswell, hoping it would work, but it didnt. I also tried a few other things, but nothing seemed to help unfortunately

 

do you guys have any tips or fixes for me?

Here is what you gotta do,

Step one: Run over all said Xbox consoles with a car.

Step two: Tell them to buy a pc.

Has it been tested with multiple games on the second machine? Do game disks spin when put in the second xbox?

I had that problem with an xbox 360 it was caused by the LASER that reads the disk moves too far down the tracks. Chances are when you disassembled it you moved the LASER back to the correct place on the track.

im actually buying them to sell them i make a profit of about 30-40 euros per console i buy them for 10 bucks and sell them for about 40-50 on ebay

 

what do you mean by too far down? i could mod it, that wouldnt be a problem

 

yep they do work in a diffrent one and ive tried it with a diffrent one, even with a dvd and a cd

that was the issue with my brother's Xbox that I had to repair. I moved the laser around and it eventually worked again.

 

There was so much effin dust in the thing I had to remove every single component out of it and clean it.

same here, cleaned it all up and the laser with alcohol

 

do you know what position the laser is exactly?

 

could i maybe just swap the laser from an older broken console? O.oforget it doesnt work anyway
