Who here still owns a 360 in 2020 I do

How to open a disc tray.. step 1: open disc tray

Wow, this totally fixed my sometimes-it-opens-sometimes-it-doesn't Xbox 360, I can't believe it!

Thank you from 2021! Gives us something to play while we ride out covid

Where are the OGs who still own an Xbox 360 and just got helped by this good video? Im here

You're a god send my friend. Found an old 360 at Goodwill for $30, with the disk tray issue. I was beating the crap out of it every time to get it to open before watching this. Thank you.

My 360 had the same issue about 8 months ago. It was also 8 years old. I got another one today for my kids, and the disc drive wouldn't open. I watched your video, and now it opens and closes properly. Thanks alot.

Just wanted to let you know you're officially a legend! Worked a charm and within 5mins I was up and running - your video and advice are appreciated :) Thankyou

Omg thank you so much I almost cried because I thought I broke it lol... But it worked!!! YESSS!!!!!😊

I literally smacked my machine like u did and it opened the disc tray ahaha

For those still having issues after cleaning the band, make sure to check the gear to the bottom left, mine had a huge dust bunny! Just swab it out. Thank you so much for this video!

Thank you for this! I picked up a cheap 360 yesterday, and thought I'd have to return it because of the sticking tray. Your fix sorted it instantly (I had to use a drop of scotch whisky though, as I didn't have any pure alcohol!). Thanks again.

I followed two different tutorials which had me open the whole dang thing up TWICE and it was still busted. Your method worked right away, excellent tutorial!

Man I’ve had this issue for a few years now and didn’t know to fix it until I tried this!!!! You are the man!! Thank you again!

Thank you SO much. I got an old 360 from a friend that had this issue. Took me about 30 minutes of cleaning and opening it with a credit card when it didn’t work but it eventually did. You are literally amazing for this lol.

Our old Xbox 360 had been broken since 2014 and my brother pulled it to bits but failed and all it took was this, you are a legend. Thanks for the help.

Thank you so much! This one video was so quick, easy, efficient and I'm about to play some games with my Xbox I haven't touched in probably over a year. I was bummed to discover that the disc tray wasn't opening upon setting it up (giving me broken Xbox flashbacks!), but here I am with my Xbox ready to go and working again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Worked like a charm! My rubber band was dirty as hell. Cleaning it and the gears made my stuck 360 disc tray work like new again. Thanks a lot!!!!

Thank you so much! I found my XBOX 360 that is almost 10 years old and it wouldn't open the disc tray really often. 2 minutes of your instructions and it works again!

2022 and my Xbox that has had a problem for atleast a decade is now fixed…. Because of this video. Legendary stuff!

I tried to open my old 360 up to fix the drive only to realize that I don't have a torx screwdriver this worked like a charm thanks a lot, you're an absolute legend

Worked a treat on an old xbox 360 I just bought. You saved me a lot of hassle. Thanks 👍

Yo 2022 and I found my old Xbox 360 so I tried went on it but non of my controllers. Thank you so much you are still saving peoples life.

Thank you. This video was very helpful. I was thinking of buying another Xbox 360 before I saw this video. I cleaned the rubber belt and the console is working great again.

Short, to the point. Works perfect. Cheers bro!

This worked, I think it was actually twisted and the qtip cleaned it and put it back in place. Didnt have nearly as much grime. Thank you!

Just to add to the widespread praise, I tried this and it worked a treat, thank you very much dude!

I just bought my Xbox 360 and the disc drive suddenly stopped opening. I thought I wasted my 40$. Works fine now thanks to this vid. I almost had a heart attack.

its 2024 and I wish I would have watched this before I just took my elite apart. Great video!

Thanks for sharing. I had the same problem. I replaced the motor belt and the disk drive began to open properly. Yes, i had to open the drive etc. Took me 2 hours at my pace but it worked.

Thank you so much!! My xbox's disc tray was working like shit for the past 5 years but I always managed until recently when it wouldn't stop opening up for no reason. I tried this and it worked instantly. I was seriously thinking of throwing it away, but thanks to you I won't have to!!

Worked like a charm, thank you sir! 2021 still riding the 360 strong

Bro you’re a savior! I thought my 360 was toast because it kept not opening but I did your little trick and it actually worked! 👍👍👍

OMFG your a legend now I can sell my Xbox 360 you earned a subscriber your one of the many few on KZfaq that actually has good working tutorials

This is the only video so far that helped me.

Dude, you are so awesome. Home because of COVID 19 and could not get my xbox to open. Worked like a charm after following your video. You the man!

I just found my old Xbox 360 today, and did this.. you the goat man 🙏🏽✨

Holy Snap since back in 2015 i been struggling afraid to swap disc on my 360 as it took forever for me to get the disc drive to work here in 2023 you saved me. Now i can play alot more of my old 360 games that aren’t backwards compatible. Appreciate the advice!

I bought a used 360 from Goodwill for my nephews, and this fixed the disk tray! Cheers

Thank you from 2022 I bought an Xbox 360 from goodwill and the disc tray got stuck but thanks to your method it really saved me from buying another 360

I got a used 360 for my kid's Christmas and it didn't open and I freaked out. This totally worked. Thanks for saving Christmas

I picked up an 2009 Xbox 360 for $2.00. Yes, 2 dollars. Game door would not open. Manual eject button doesn't work. Used the "Y" eject button and a credit card to get it open. Cleaned it just as you showed us. Works perfect with the "Y" button. Amazing!! Just paid $80 for an Xbox 360 "S" with 2 wireless controllers, charging station, Kinetic with 7 games, and 15 Xbox games. Original owner, all paperwork included. 2 battery trays also. Looks like I am going to get half the $80 back when I sell this one.

2022 and I have the same Xbox 360. This didn't fix it completely but it definitely helped. Thank you very much for making this video

I truly am grateful for this video....it's like a godsend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 it worked for me too....insted of the alcochol I had alcohol swabs (generally used on nthe skin after injections) I squeezed the liquid out of those swabs/tissues onto the Q-Tip and did as said on the video. It worked wonders. But I guess I will have to repeat this exercise once a month to keep it up and running. Thanks a million!!!!

Thank you so much I've recently got a 360 for nostalgia. And the disc tray wasn't untill I found this video, again thank you!

How to open stuck tray: “first you want to open it” 💀💀💀

Dude, thank you so much haha nearly took the whole thing apart then see this video and it works

this man is a savor to many, including me. legends say he is still saving Xbox disk drays today. what a hero!

Thanks dude. Im trying to complete all the gta games on every console or system they were on one at a time. It came to gta 3 and I completed it on everything including mobile, ps2, original Xbox etc. This has fixed my problem. Thanks dude you deserve more subs!

Well this beats my trademarked method of opening involving a butter knife and brute force.

Many thanks, wasn’t sure if it would work for me but Bingo ! First time fix, you sir are a legend 👍

2023 Checking in….worked like a charm. Thanks!

Thank you so much my disk drive is fixed you are an absolute legend bro 😃you are the best

Thanks so much I’m trying to get my old Xbox to work and I’m having to look up so many videos yours worked

Thank you so much you saved me from having to crack this 360 open🤙🏾

just tried this on my xbox that sometimes got trapped when opening has worked wonders thankyou !!

Haven’t even tried this out yet and I’m already loving it 😂😂😂

There aren't enough languages in the world to tell you THANK YOU!

I found one outside the dumpster and it had this issue! It worked! Thank you

Thanks bro, I tapped that bad boy on the top like you did and it opened lol I’ll make sure I do the next part with the QTip.

Wow just fix my Xbox which had this problem for three years now it's working like it's fresh out the box due to this tip thanks

Tried it today. Worked perfectly. Thank You.

Thank you sir. You saved me a good 30 mins of taking the xbox apart and put it back together.

You brilliant man! Tried on my old console and it works perfectly now. Didn't have alcohol though so ended up using a baby wipe. Thanks dude.

Thank you! Everytime i wanted to play a game on my xbox 360 i had to almost pry the disc tray open, and after cleaning it, it works amazingly!

Thank you!. I have fixed disk tray problem, with your method. I used 99% IPA and a cotton swab.

I just brought of these today and I had this problem your method works thanks man lol

Thank you so much, I just got my Xbox 360 out from my childhood and my disks where stuck, thank you very much. 👍

2024 here. This trick still works. Thanks.

This worked beautifully. Thanks for the video!

Dude, thank you. It wouldn't open until I smacked it at just the right moment like you did. Our Switch was giving us a hard time with the controllers and then this wasn't working and it was literally ruining my Christmas, but this saved me from flipping the F out. Much love.

Dude when I saw that you smacked it it just worked instantly thanks for the 10secs tutorial

Omg I thought it was broken so I had my mom help it was a great vid thx for the help ps you can use peroxide

Worked the first time I tapped the top hahah popped right open. Thanks brother!

Just had to do this on my old 360 before playing Xmen Origins Wolverine. Thanks for the video!

Tried this in 2023, and still works. Thank you sir!

2023, bought a poorly managed 360 from some dude and this has helped me.

reporting from 2023! works like a charm on my original model, thank you so much for this!

Ok so I did this to my kid’s 360 and let me tell you it actually worked. So thank you for this video your greatly appreciated

This is absolutely amazing man, you are a godsend to us normies. I thought I would have to do a full disassembly and maybe order a new part. I wish I had tried this sooner. Thank you so much for this tidbit!

Thank you, omg. This helped so much! I don't usually comment on videos but this honestly really helped. Definitely recommend you try if your disk tray isn't opening

Thank you for this video. You almost doubled the value of the used one I'm trying to sell. Having to go paperclip fishing every time you want to switch games is a pain.

Appreciate this, bro! Smack on the top trick worked like a charm!

I just tried this and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

Thank you!! Found an xbox 360 being thrown away. Got it working again thanks to your video!

Thanks for the video I'm going to do this today when I get up

Brother. You just saved my night.

o my gosh this guy is such a blessing to have this video is truly blessed great day god bless you man

Yessss! This helped me fix it! Decided to fire up my 360 after like 6-7 years and that was the only issue.

Brilliant video...saves a lot of hassle stripping the console ...Genius thank you very much!!

This did helped me alot,thank you bro.

Just tried it and it worked!!! Thanks for posting!!!

I cleaned it several times, and it finally worked!!!!!!!

It worked!!! Saved me some money. Thanks a lot!

Thanks man, I got a jank Xbox that the guy didn't tell me the tray was stuck on. It was a spare anyways because my tray has been having trouble for years. I look forward to trying it on the jank box before I try it on mine.

Thank you dude!!! I got a new Xbox 360 because my Xbox 360 S got the red ring I got a Xbox 360 Pro today and the tray was not opening up and it worked!

Occasionally I go back to my 360 to listen to my old music and Dane cook bits, today I wanted to run some world at war zombies and my tray wouldn’t open. Thank you for this video

It sure did work, thank you! Fixed my Elite immediately!

very cool mate, I thought my childhood console was gone for good but this sure worked!!! although it would be nice if you could see the rubber thingy in the video

I look up one video tutorial, like it because it worked, and now this is all KZfaq is recommending me
