    Xbox One X powering itself on, repeatedly ejecting disc drive even when empty


    After the latest update (3/5/2025), my Xbox One X has been powering itself on and rapidly / repeatedly ejecting the disc drive, even when empty it will make the noise that it’s trying to eject. It also makes this noise while the console is off.

    It will power on randomly and spam eject the disc often whether the console is on or off. I’ve tried clearing persistent storage as recommended online, I have performed numerous power cycles, and nothing has worked.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    :)

    Xbox Disc Ejection options.

    Nope, the drive is perfectly capable of ejecting. When inserting a disc in good condition, and the Xbox is capable of reading it, i can use the X button to eject it. But the eject button on the console doesn't do anything. Also this is an Xbox one S

    Eject Button was jammed out of the box. Doesnt move or click at all.

    There isn't a "physical" button that you press in. It's the eject symbol on the disc drive that you touch to eject games. If it's not working then there's something wrong with the Xbox One itself. Welcome to the club.

    Xbox one disc drive

    I have an Original Xbox one, the first model before the one s and one x. This affects my gaming as I think the problem is my disc drive. My xbox wont take or eject discs when I press the eject button, so I cant play games due to this problem

    Disc read errors

    Never had an issue with discs not reading, in my Xbox one day one edition, or with my Xbox one x. So no, I wouldn't go assuming it's the equivalent of the red ring of death.

    When you say the drive has died on you, exactly what do you mean. Does it still take discs in, and eject them, or has it got no power to it at all?
