Disk Wont Eject

Hey there, Christides!

I'm sorry to see any issues with the disc tray! When you attempt the manual eject, you do have to push the paper clip in pretty hard. When you did this, did you hear any noises inside the console that might sound like a loose piece of plastic? There's a
possibility that the tray arm is not working, and that would require a repair to resolve.

Let me know what you hear! I look forward to working with you.

If the disk tray wont eject, there is a pin hole on the tray itself that will eject it, as for the flashing, how many times does it flash, this will be specific to the error you are encountering

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

If there is a disc inside of your Xbox console you can try to manually eject it by following the steps on this link: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-ne...

Also, plug and play disc drive is not an option. You may need to get the console's disc drive repaired.

I may be missing something obvious, but if you're going to eject a disk, that means you, or someone else, would need to get up to either take the disk out / replace it with another disk / put the ejected disk in a case. So basically, someone has to actually
get up / move to take care of the ejected disk. So, is it really a big issue if you do, in fact, have to push a button on the console to eject the disk? I don't get the issue?

Never turn the XBOX off with gears 3. Always eject the disk if it freezes. If the disk won't eject then power off.
