Disc Drive Issue. Second time now.

I know nothing of the specific problem your having Sun but I do know that my x1 always connects to the wireless network even when its off and is constantly working. Like you, I noticed very slight noise coming from it like"busy computer"also. I think this
caused my kinect to fail out of the blue two days ago. Luckily I was in the 30 day return window at Best Buy and they replaced the whole unit. But again I also feel that what ever the system is doing while its off is causing a bunch of different issues, mine
just happened to be the kinect and yours the disc feed system. Good luck my friend, I really do feel your pain.

Well I've pretty much confirmed that has to do with updates or something, but why an update needs to effect sticking a disc in the machine makes no sense. I feel like I'm gonna damage it every time I push a disc in even a quarter inch to discover the mechanics
wont take it.

Oddly enough there were new updates, or tiles anyway. For tomb raider definitive edition trailer and the forza car pack. seems I may be on to something with the errors. I hope this info gets passed on.

Truth be told, I still think it's an update thing. Perhaps. Almost like the system need a reboot to properly install the updates, then back in business. Just glad this worked for you, at least it sorta confirms suspicions and I know what to do about it next
time, of which I'm sure there will be hundreds.

Internet cable didn't work. so I turned it off, yanked the plug out for power, forcing a reboot. worked. Seeing as the machine is never truly off this might be a glitch fix. BTW, it sucked the disc right in afterwards. Try and confirm Blank Zero.
