Original Xbox not recognizing or ejecting disk

If you have already tried the steps listed here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/hardware-network/console/manually-eject-disc to no avail, I would recommend taking it to a professional for further workarounds.

I'm afraid it will be necessary to open the console to remove this disc from the disc reader. As Microsoft does not manufacture or repair this Xbox model anymore, I recommend taking it to any store that repairs electronics in your city.

Here is a detailed explanation on how to eject your disk manually on the original xbox. Hope this helps
