    If you are unable to open the disc tray on your Xbox 360 console by pressing the eject button. The below are the reasons that can be the cause of your problem :

    • A hardware failure affecting the console, the disk drive, or the eject button.

    • A disc is presented in the mechanism.

    • The band transparent plastic protection that applies to the front of the tray to protect it during transport is preventing the disc tray opening.

    To resolve your problem, insert a straightened paper clip or another small, stiff wire into the first hole on the left side of the disc tray. To release the disc tray, press the clip into the hole to press the manual eject mechanism. The manual eject mechanism is a white lever that is visible behind the console casing. The hole is located about 1.5 inches (about 4 inches) from the left edge of the disc tray.

    Try to uninstall and then reinstall the faceplate of the Xbox 360 console, follow these steps:

    1. Close the tray, remove the storage units, then turn off the Xbox 360.

    2. Locate the release slot on the right side of the faceplate. This slot is at the bottom of the faceplate if the console upright.

    3. Pull the slot to remove the faceplate. Keep your Xbox 360 console firmly to keep the console from falling as removing the faceplate.

    4. To place a faceplate, align the tabs on the faceplate with the slots in the console, then press the faceplate back into place.

If still you Xbox 360 fails to read the disc, then turn off the console and remove the DVD drive. Make sure the vents are not blocked and keep your Xbox 360 in an open area and ventilated.

    Re: Xbox 360 Disc Drive tray does not open

    The reason the drive tray does not open due to the engine belt slippage. This is a common problem with any optical drive that uses a combination of belt and direct drive motor instead of gears. When the tape is old, or in the case of the xbox 360 becomes hot. When slides can not break free magnetic clutch that is on the axis (the button that passes through the center of the disc DVD) and the tray can not be opened. If it in the warranty then replace it.
