- In this video i show you guys 4 different ways to open your Xbox 360's disc tray if it is jammed and will not open on its own, like it should.
I know this video is a bit outdated with next gen consoles out, but this might also mean that people have had their Xbox 360s for longer and their disc trays are only now beginning to jam.
Yes my Xbox suffers from this annoying condition but if you use the method recommended in my video you will be able to get by almost hassle free! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Here in 2019 with a jammed xbox
relatable
ThiccMayoJar Just punch it with flat hand, not hard. First press button for disc and punch with flat hand
Lol
Bro on god 😭 i was tryna play mw2 and shit wasn’t opening
same 😡..😂😂😂
Here in 2023 with a jammed Xbox😅
Here in 2024 with a jammed Xbox 😂
2024 for me

I know this is 6 years old but today sir during lock down you just saved my life, and made my 8 year old son very very happy..not all heroes wear capes thank you so much!!
Your not lying
Haha true
Me too
Me too.
Still relevant! Legend!
Video is 7 years old and you’re still helping people out…thanks legend
Another tip is to always leave a disc in the tray. Mine jams all the time with no disc in it.
mine does that aswell but i was trying to switch the disc but it closed on its own so i looked up how to fix 9
Same
ccghidorah1 Same !!
exept my littke brother "accidentaly" closed it with no cd in it and now it won't open...
ccghidorah1 it is probably the way it works because, the spinner-thing got stuck between the disc tray, when I bumped it with my hip while getting a different disc.
I just opened mine up and it was jammed with no disc. Put a disc in and was able to eject it no problem. Might be a weight based issue where the weight of the disc makes it functional? Not sure, bit it’s a decent solution
Here in 2023 and you just saved me from a jammed xbox 360 elite. Thanks so much from the present to past you. The first method with the credit card and pushing eject at the same time worked for me. Definitely made a subscriber out of me.
Hey man, Thanks for the amazing tips and tricks, I was about to throw my 360 out but I figured I should try to fix it. Now because of you I can enjoy all of the classic games I have.
Thank you again.
6 years later and still useful. Thank you so much!!!
FYI there is an actual way to fix it. Look up how to clean the disk tray belt. It's super easy and you don't have to take it apart
Wow, my school ID was actually useful. Huh...
True Waves lol
SAME!!!!
LMAO
Same
HAHA IKR
I was about smash my XBOX to death. Thanks dude i tried the methods from other videos but your 'credit card' method worked amazingly. Thank you so much.
Shadow of Intent same my dude first try it worked lol
thanks dude I was about to smash my xbox360 to but the credit card method worked the first try
Shadow of Intent
Bro, I Already Unplugged My Xbox And Threw It In The Trash Can.
Like a boss
Thanks Mr. McGregor I knew you'd still be useful in your retirement!....
The brutal way is the one that is still wotking in 2020😂😂
Same here!! Haha
The Xbox 360 is the AK47 of consoles I swear.
Just needed today
Best gaming console ever made except red ring of death 💀
Working
I punched my xbox. It worked
lmfao
mee too
mee too
i broke my credit card
ha
And after 6 years this turns to be still useful, thank you.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!! Had almost given up and definitely almost broke it trying to pull it apart! The card trick worked a treat.
Thanks for the tutorial!
It was the happiest moment of my life when I finally got it open!
It was the worst moment in my life when my device malfunctioned because of this method and the screen became blue with incomprehensible speech 🥲
Look up how to clean the disk tray belt. It's super easy and it actually fixes it. You don't even have to take it apart
Awesome video, thank you! Having similar troubles with stuck disc tray. There actually is a 5th way to achieve manual opening. Best with front face plate off - about 2" to 2.5" down from the top of the tray on the left side is a hole you can poke a straightened out paper clip in which will manually open the disc tray.
If you see this, could you try to explain in more detail, in which direction is the mechanism and how hard do you have to press it? None of the other methods are working for me, so I'm kinda grasping at straws here, trying to save my xbox.
@@ziwuri Hi - it's been awhile since I've dealt with this issue. With the faceplate off and the xbox360 standing vertical, the hole for the paperclip should be about 2" down from the top and 1/4" to the left of the disc tray. I'm fairly sure the pressure release is straight forward - you may have to push in fairly hard to trip the release. Good luck - hope this helps! (I did try to post a picture of the console with the faceplate off, but youtube comments doesn't provide an option for that. You can search google images for an xbox360 with the faceplate off to get an idea of what to look for.)
@@ziwuri Same, I opened my whole xbox and cleaned it out and the tray still won't open, won't even make any noise indicating it's open. Mine is also the slim 360 which I believe has more problems than the standard fat version.
@@Foodyies I believe what ended up working for me was pulling off the front cover and directly pulling on the disc tray while it's trying to push itself out.
@@ziwuri Nice, I wish that could work with mine. With the slim, you can't take off only the front face you have to take off the side covers and a few other pieces too, even then it's completely locked up.
Dude you are my HERO!!!🙌❤ I've been trying to figure this shit out for 20 minutes lmao!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I wish to thank you guys for taking the time out of your busy schedules and contributing to different solutions for the XBOX360 console and its possible issues by utilizing your easy-to-understand TH-cam videos, which are hands on videos.
I was unable to open my X360's disc tray today [12/20/2019] in order to watch a DVD. Upon visiting your website, which then directed me to the 1st TH-cam video [this] you guys uploaded to solve this particular problem of being unable to open one's disc drive, either by pressing the console Eject button, or using the built-in software feature, "Eject," I was successful, in no small part to your organization, in removing my X360's face, having full access to my disc drive, and pulling ever so slightly on the disc drive after pressing the Eject button. The other three (3) options did not appeal to me - the thin card insertion and then pulling out the drive with force could possibly result in permanent damage, just like the 3rd option, which is similar but a small screwdriver is used.
You also uploaded a video where the 'emergency' hole is located in order to open the drive with something very thin, which reminds me of my older days fixing PCs.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, EFFORT, & POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION to TH-cam, in the process helping all of us plagued with X360 issues and/or problems. I have nothing but the deepest respect for what you do. 👌 🤜💥🤛 Sincerely,
Roman Olshansky
My device crashed because of this method and the screen became blue with words I didn't understand and the disk is stuck and out of place What does this mean?
@@jjjhhnnj5397
Sorry, I am not sure as I've never had this happen to me (fyi: I found that the best way of opening your disc tray of all else fails, is by inserting a thin object into the 'emergency open slot,' just like we do in our PCs).
But post your X360 problem (as opposed to replying to me) and I'm sure you'll get an answer from someone.
Good luck.
Boyfriend has had the worst weekend, then to top it off his xbox suddenly stopped working! This little trick just saved the night, thank you man. Much appreciated!
THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SO HAPPY I CRIED WHEN MY XBOX OPENED!!!!!!!
angelic pctals gamer girl?
Credit card did the trick for me. Thanks for the help! Back to playing GTA5
Same here, I used an old card though incase when bending it it got fucked up. Great fix and I subscribed as it was the least I could do for the uploader for giving us such a easy but important fix.
Phil Nunziata same here bro but my dad is not allowing me to try even the credit card!!!
Bro me to I can play online agin
That’s exactly what I was trying to play 🤣🤣
Exactly what I wanted to get back to playing lmao
Thanks for this info! I unpacked my 360 last night, couldn’t get the door to open, and was about to put it on our garage sale site. I watched your video and the credit card thing works like a champ! Now I can relive my 20s !😂😂👍🏻
Just bought my first 360 at the end of 2023 and had this problem. First method helped right away, thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much I literally tried everything watched so many videos but your punching the side method did the trick for me
Great video. Thanks for focusing on the solutions concisely!
Absolute hero. We've been looking for a video like this for YEARS, and I saw this, and issue fixed. Thanks for the hard work!
Look up how to clean the disk tray belt. Actually fixes the problem and it super easy. You don't ever have to take it apart
@@1badombre82 Well, turns out that the disk reader has some kind of laser problem, it doesnt read anything, even the cleaner disk
Thanks for sharing. I had the same problem. I replaced the motor belt and the disk drive began to open properly. Yes, i had to open the drive etc. Took me 2 hours at my pace but it worked.
I stuck a spoon into my xbox. Problem solved for 8 months.
L
and after the 8 months?
My xbox is broken now
Wow
OMG it worked
Thank you! That has been stuck for like 2 years. Thank you so much man
This was amazng! I have this Xbox 360 that my family and I have had for about 6 or 7 years now. Today I was going to play some MGR:R but I couldn't get the disk drive open, your first solution worked like a charm, you saved my life man!
a month and a half at home got me setting up my 360 again and the tray got stuck today. the card method worked great. thanks dude
Thank you so much bro! Just moved into a new house and this has saved my life ahahaha let’s goooo
o my god thank you soo much I couldn't play my Xbox but when I punched it like you said it worked
Eights years old, still works like a charm. Found my old family xbox in my closet, and realised i had a means to power it on this time around. Also wound up with both of my grandfathers 360's, so now i have three! Only one needed this treatment, but i'm considering giving it to my cousin.
Just gonna say - now it's been 8 years and this just helped me 😅 Thanks for the video!
I used a pokemon card it worked
Same
Which pokemon did you choose? 😂
I’ll Get My Pack Of UNOs

UNI_J56 U yeah we all need our minecraft 😂😂😂
UNI_J56 U craft as you were my son
Thanks for the help! Just resurrected my 360 and the tray was giving me trouble. Credit card didn't work, but giving it the Fonz tap popped it open. Much appreciate.
The credit card method worked! 😀 I happened to already have the faceplate removed, and was trying to pry the tray out with a couple of butter knives, but to no avail.
But now, thanks to the credit card trick, I am back in action, wooo! Thank you!
My is stuck and saying opening on my home screen.
Beastmode Elite same
Same, idk if this would work, but keep hitting the side of the box aggressively and it might open
OceanGamerAK LMAO
@@ocean801 I worked, but I had to turn it over on its side while doing it.
Same.
First one works thank you ..
+1 for 2020 on giving it some 'love taps' . Other methods didn't work(skipped face plate). Tray opening on own currently.
Thanks for sharing. Great vid and detailed walk through.
I followed your instruction and used an old card, after trying three or four times, it worked, thank you so much for you helpful info
Thank you so munch dude when it worked I went straight to playing black ops 2
Who’s here from 2024 using an Xbox they grew up with?
Me but I still play but I mod also
Bro thank you so much, I wanted to play some old 360 games and couldn't until I saw your video. I appreciate it!
yo i know this video is a billion years old but the "punching your xbox" method is the only thing that works but its super consistent so thank you for showing this, I wont break my xbox doing this since i only play a few games that cant be played elsewhere here and there so it works for me!
thanks my Xbox work thanks God bless you
God bless you
What if its popped out and stuck like that
zeosup shove it back in handy man style
@@mtex4 its on fire and smoking is that normal?
zeosup yea its a normal feature just call 911 you should be alright
Dude thank you so much I found this video very useful and I tried the third method and it worked very well and now my disc reader is working perfectly again now I can finally play fallout 3
8 years old and still saving stuck 360's. thanks man
I shot my xbox with a rubber band at the side... It worked O_O
ALittleTwit :D you scared it so bad it opened
Lol, you scared it😂
Non of them worked ;( but still cool vid man
Nice of you I like you
With the one where you take the cover off, it takes varry close precision. You need to pull and let go but as you let go, use the open button. Try it a few times and in different spaces
Non of them work
Thank you sir! Just used the credit card trick today, saved me a lot of hassle. Your accent is awesome btw!
Firing up my old one and this happened ! You’re a genius ! Thank you
Same here! Lol
i dont have the metal piece on my xbox, could anyone give some assistance?
FadeBerries me too!!!

MachineGunBlake 7700
D3QuATz No he has a different model 360 you twat

Noob dude same mine have Black ops too in too
Tysm bro ive been trying the official method for 45 minutes without succeeding and your credit card method worked immediatly
The card trick worked perfectly! My husband just beats the top of it until it opens and it makes me so mad. Thank you!

lil unofficial nice.
Air Alert almost 2019
2019 brother
Thx now my starbucks credit card came in use
It’s 2020 and o wanted to play my old Xbox Minecraft and it was jammed and this helped! Thank you! 🙏🏻
thank you!! my xbox 360 has a jammed disc tray and it's really frustrating. i didn't wanna spend money on a new xbox for the nostalgia and this helped a lot! thanks.
the only method that worked was to punch my xbox.. nice
Noah Edmundson same lmao
Thank you but why is it happeningm
Here in 2022 with a jammed Xbox but I tried ur method with the card and it actually worked.
This video came in handy 7 years later, thanks 👌
Thx if u was in front of me i will kiss u
you're ducking gay
Still using these tricks in 2020 with my old af 360 that jams all the time, thanks for the vid bro
Absolute life-saver. Legend. Cheers mate!
Goated...first method worked perfectly and it doesnt get stuck at all anymore..thanks homie
The fact that Microsoft's own stupid advice did nothing since everything I tried wasn't long enough (funnily enough I live in a house not an office and didn't have a paper clip around) and I didn't even need to finish the video since I used my credit, you are a godsend, thank you truly.
Thank you! My son has had problems with his Xbox s tray not opening and the credit card method really helped
Here in 2022 and the Xbox guide didn't helt at all but your fine credit card flip did the trick! Thanks!
Thx. This helped me to get started to get open. Even after taking the faceplate off, i still had to get a flathead screwdriver to pry it open. Only to find a CD that i had been looking for for years
Thanks for helping me bro just bought a 360 for the nostalgia and for old memories. This helped a lot blessings bro
Thx so much I couldn’t find a different way of doing it super helpful
The card trick is perfect! Thanks! But if memory serves me correct, there’s a manual trey open if you pull the faceplate off. I remember sticking a paper clip in to it to manually force the gears to cycle the trey open
First one worked like magic! Just dug out my old Xbox 360 and it was jammed! This helped, thanks!
Thank you so much! I decided to play my 10-year-old xbox 360 again but my disc tray was stuck and nothing helped. I then tried your card method and it opened! You saved my inner teenager :)
Thank you dude the last suggestion you gave was the one that really worked for me. You ROCK!!!!!
Thank you I just took my Xbox 360 out and I know I had this issue before I stopped using it.. so trying it today, info very much appreciated
Thanks so much dude mine was stuck for the longest time and the credit card method worked right away your a life saver
Dude you are legendary, once I opened it it never got stuck again you sir deserve more subs and likes
Method 1 worked after about 2 tries. Thanks for posting this.
2020 and this is the best technique to open jammed disc tray! Thanks!
Bless you, good sir for your service 🙏🏻 I can now finish the last disc of Return of the King for the first time.
You've saved my console of 13 years, thought I'll never play it again. Thank you
Yo bro thanks your videos helps a lot keep this type of stuff up
Video is 9 years old and you still saved me ❤️
Even after 7 years this is still useful, thanks. BTW I find the credit card one works best.
