Hi...

Get a can of "Dust-off" from radio shack or walmart

It has an extension tube for the can . Use it and spray into the drawer slot with the drawer open. Swish it around a bit and wait for things to warm back up.

Also check your game disc for extra smudges or scratches that might need to be polished out

If this help,please rate my help

Thanks

If the tray does not open when you press the eject button, try to manually open it. To do this:

1. Unplug your Xbox console from the power source.
2. Locate the manual release button on your Xbox console.
   
   For most Xbox consoles, the manual release button is located in a small pinhole to the left of the eject button under the disc tray.
   
   For some Xbox consoles, the manual release button is located under the disc tray. It can be under the "O" or the "B" in the word "XBOX" that appears on the tray.
3. Insert a straightened paper clip or other small tool in the hole at an angle to the left. Gently push the paper clip to try to press the manual release button and partially open the disc tray. This may take several tries. Typically, a thin paper clip works better than a thick paper clip.
   
   If you insert the paperclip in the hole and find an obstacle, this indicates that your Xbox console's manual release button is located in a different area of the console. Look under the "O" or the "B" in the word "XBOX" that appears on the tray. If this is the case, insert the paperclip under the "O" as outlined in step C. If you find an obstacle, insert the paperclip under the letter "B”. The manual release button is located in one of these three locations.
4. After the disc tray partially opens, pull the tray with your fingers to fully open the tray

Hi...
Get the drawer to open and disconnect the power so the draw stays open. Get a can of Dust-off ( compressed CO2) at staples or radio shack.

Shoot a couple streams of CO2 into the unit from the drawer opening.

Reconnect power and try a game. Also try a DVD cleaning disc. Philips and Memorex make them

1-800-4my-xbox you will need your xbox repaired by microsoft no worries its all free even the shipping

How old is the unit?
Do you keep it at floor level alot? Because this thing ( like all the game consoles) is a dust MAGNET.
Get a can of compressed CO2 ( Dust off)
Open the drawer and shoot into the draw over and under. Reboot .
Cant guarantee anything though

i had this happen when my 460 was standing up. when i "sat it down" the disc drawer opened and closed fine.

try calling xbox customer support at 1-800-4myxbox and see what they say.

Sounds like a mis-stamped peice of plastic, aside from getting a new drawer for the drive there is little to do.
