CD/DVD players use a protocol;
Open tray. Insert disk. Tray switch tells mechacon that the tray is shut. Attempt to focus on disk.
If focus is acheived, then it will spin up and try to read the disk otherwise it will ask for a readable disk.
If the tray keeps opening, I would suspect the tray detect switch is malfunctioning, maybe the drive belt has stretched.
This is likely the same issue occurring when the disk tray will not open either. Suspect your drive belt is worn and requires servicing. This is best done by an xbox servicing agent. Not too expensive. I have been suffering with a tray that will not open for over 2 years now, however, I am able to fix it simply by ensuring a disk is always left in the tray. It only fails to open if there is no disk in the tray. Even then, I can open it by lifting slightly with a paperclip.
The disk-drive is having a mechanical problem, i.e., it is not fully-loading the disk,
or it is not detecting that the disk is fully-loaded. Therefore, it assumes that the open/close
mechanism is "jammed", and so it ejects, to indicate that the disk-loading was not completed.
If it still has a valid warranty, exercise the warranty to get a free replacement.
Otherwise, open the enclosure, and separate the disk-drive from the USB-to-disk-drive adapter, and connect the disk-drive as a 'slave' disk-drive in a desktop computer, to see if the adapter was the problem.
An 'Open Tray' error with an XBox 360 is typically a sign that the CD/DVD drive itself is faulty. This will require it to be replaced, which is not as easy as just swapping them out.
The new drive must be of the same make and model of the old drive. If I recall, there are Samsung and Toshiba drives in 360's. Once you have the exact replacement drive, the CD Drive's firmware must be flashed on a PC in order to be compatible and detected by your XBox.
When I got this problem I put my xbox on its side then straight up and it opened. If You keep a game in it The drive should stay able to open.This is what worked for me.
