How to fix Xbox 360 open tray disc drive error WITHOUT opening OR voiding warranty

if you do this, remember to very very slowly tilt the 360. DO NOT tilt it in any other direction while the disc is spinning except up. if you do you will scratch your disc. badly. use at your own risk.

this is how i fix any disc read problem with my 360. i'm guessing since the drive is so old the motors are unable to move without the little help of gravity with the faceplate facing up. or it could do something with the magnet that holds the disc in place, i'm not sure yet.

@elemix27 thats not true if the laser fails to read the game while its loading it will still give an unrecognized disc error. I install games I play online like MW3 and ever since I got the open tray problem it cycles between the unrecognized disc and this disc is unreadable messages when it isnt open tray. Microsoft sucks my Sega Dreamcast still works without problems and its over a decade old, they have cheap manufacturing that seems intentional and profit driven.

@BMANZZS It also helps if you keep your xbox off of the carpet. It will give you less problems.

Also if you install your game to your hard drive then once it reads it won't give you an "Unreadable Disc" error once it starts becaause of it being installed to the hard drive.
