I ha e tried the cleaner with no luck. Pretty much have 2 options. Send to microsoft.
Or fix myself. I have almost 10 years computer repair experience but
Never repaired an xbox. If I decide to try and rePair it myself and fail
Xbox won't touch it. The xbox repair is a 2 month wait :(

Ewww. I'm sorry to hear that. :(
I had that kinda problem with my PS2 back in the day. But it never got repaired and it wasn't a hit or miss thing, more like an epic fail thing.

:( I had that problem a few times with my Modern Warfare 2 Xbox. Grrrr
Never got it fixed, if there's no disk in it, I tilt it to open the tray. Straighten it back upright, then insert disk. If it doesn't open with the disk in there, I just leave it and hope it opens later. My console is hit or miss when it comes to opening and when its a miss, it's a miss all day. :(
I mainly use that xbox for Netflix and arcade games I've downloaded, the wife loves Peggle. lol

Hey y'all.. :( sorry i have been absent from the xbox. we have the open tray error and are going to have to have it fixed. nothing suggested has worked, only other option we can do ourselves is open it and clean the laser. It is 2 weeks out of warrenty..

at any rate, i wont be playing any of my kinect games that are disc based until we get this fixed.. i plan to call around tomorrow to look for someone locally to repair it.. if you guys have ideas i am all ears.. i even called microsoft and they walked me through some steps with no joy.

thanks y'all
Jess
