Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

I can't get the damned disc tray to open AT ALL! I tried multiple times to get the *bleep*ing thing open, and it just will not open, even when I try to manually open it by sticking a pin into that little hole under the tray. It's stuck on something, I think, and I don't have the tools to open it, and I'm not paying hundreds of dollars to get the thing fixed. If that's what it's going to take, I'm just gonna trash it and get a 360. I hate Microsoft so much right now.

Also, the XBOX is refurbished and I bought it from GameStop, I'm sure that has something to do with it.

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

how long ago did you get it from Gamestop cause they may have a limited warranty thing that could cover fixing it. Otherwise, i'd say go grab a screwdriver and pop it open to see if you can fix it yourself. The worst that can happen is it still won't work or works less and you already said you'd be willing to buy a 360 so really no harm done in the long run.

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

I got it a year ago, so it might have expired, no idea how long the warranty is for. I found out that hitting the green XBOX logo will get the tray to open, but it has to be done every time, so I'll look into opening it up, but I need a certain screwdriver to do it. Thanks for replying.

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

Yeah, hitting it on the top works for me. It's annoying to do it every time I want to play a game or rip a CD, but oh well, I can deal with it.

Normally the warranty is 90 days if you buy it new, it varies if used/refurbished (depends on where you go but usually 7-14 days, maybe 30-within that 7-14 day period you can possibly return it). The one-year warranty costs you a little bit extra, they offered it to me at EB Games for something like $15. I bought it and thankfully didn't need it.

That didn't work for me, but hitting it seems to get it open for now.

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

Well just looking at your "All Your Base are belong To Us" Sig and Avatar, l can tell that people hate you

Try hitting it on the top near the tray. Works for me.

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

Why would people hate me because of my sig and avatar? I'm sure there's a way to fix it myself, I just don't have the right kind of screwdriver for it, so I just have to deal with hitting it to change games.

Maybe you should get a PS3? I'm just saying...

re: Piece of shit disc tray won't open...

Your solution is easy, take the shell off, to access the Xbox inners, unscrew the disc tray, throw it out the window, the disc tray will open you get the game thats in there (If there is one) then just buy a new tray...
