My xbox will not play, it just keeps saying open tray, reading then back to open tray.

The main problem might be a big problem with the disk tray. There might be an faulty wire that has lost connection and if your disk wont event turn on, there might be a problem with the power supply that supplies the cd tray. If the disk opens and closes but doesnt read and wont say tray is in and keeps saying open tray, there might be a small fracture on some of the wires or there is something wrong with the motherboard of the xbox 360. The best way is to buy the warrenty now and send it to the xbox 360.

You must open your tray keep it open as you turn it off and back on, then close it and restart your xbox

1, the disc may be dirty
2. the mian reason for this your xbox drive cannot read the disc , because the power of the lens is gone(not completely) ,

solution:

1. keep your disc inside the drive and switch off the console, again swith on try this 2 to 3 time
2. keep the console in vertical position or little slanding position(180 dg) make sure it does not fall

3. its better to buy hatddisc and load the game inside it , so that u lens life increased

4. change the entire drive

Hi friend try this:

1) Restart your console.
2) Check for loose cables.
3) Pull out all the cables, and get them back in.
4) Take out the hard-drive, and put it back in. Repeat this 4 times.

if the problem still persists then you need to replace your disc drive.
Please vote for me.

If it won't play any games it might be the laser that reads the disk. I would suggest getting it checked out somewhere.

What I did was :
1. Shook my Xbox ( Just for a test )
2. Opened the tray and wobbled it around (Up and Down)
3. Opened and closed it a few times.

After that it read the disc and I was able to play my game.
