I can not open or close my Xbox 360 disk drive.

Hey there NortherlyGerm17!

Sorry to hear about the Disc Drive issues, we do have a
Disc Drive Troubleshooter worth running through if you haven't already. If the steps there don't help out, unfortunately your best option is to set up a repair or replacement with the steps recommended.

Generally if it's out of warranty you can still send it in and Microsoft will repair it for a fee. However, it depends on how old it is. If it's an original, fat 360, Microsoft no longer supports those.

What I do to trigger an update that won't download is Open your disk drive, Turn off the xbox(make sure disk drive stays open), Put disk into disk drive, Turn on xbox. This will close the drive and automatically trigger the download.

not realy, most of my games are installed, but you cannot play the game before the Xbox recognizes the disk., wich is the actual problem, the Xbox doesn' read the disks, unless after opening and closing the disk drive 20x (and more)

mines has same problem. its the dvd drive dieing, but mines been that way for a year now. do this

1. open disk drive

2. put ur hand on the 360

3. close drive

4. now can u feel the 360 spin the disk(it will vibrate a lil)

5. do this like 5 times....if u feel the disk not spin everytime then its the dvd drive starting to die.

now u can install the game on hard drive like Minster Gwyther said that way the dvd only has to check that the disk is in 360, then it plays game off of hard drive...it does take a while to copy game to hard drive.
