Hello friend, if you need to open the tray manually, there is a small slot on the left side that pushes a release that you can fit an extended paper clip to open the disc tray without having to plug it in. This is the same technique used when you want to open the tray even with all the components in place. Using the small slot hole on the side of the xbox. Thanks for the video btw! It helped me alot!

Definitely worth the watch. He goes over some good points about taking your time and not breaking all the clips. Great job sir....

Real life-saver! Many other tutorials just tell us to "break" the plastic covers open! Managed to open and see the elastic band between the motor and a gear was missing (no thanks to my cat jamming the box...). Thanks mate!

Thanks so much for this very informative video, appreciate your knowledge so much! I was in the kitchen and our lil one year old messed with our xbox 360, i found this video first. Decode to try it, followed it step by step, after adjusting the dvd box and putting everything to place, i was praying that it will be working normal again, and it DID! What a miracle! I’ve never done this before! Thanks again!

You sir are a legend! My son in his wisdom decided to push the tray shut instead of using the button. Following this it is like new (as I cleaned it out whilst open!) Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, my tray problem was not the same as yours, I used someone else's video to fix my tray problem. But the reason for my comment here is to thank you for the detailed step by step when stripping the XBOX360S. I value how you indicated problem areas and where to use caution not to break any of the retaining clips. Even tough my XBOX is out of warranty, using your method, I was able to strip and assemble my XBOX and keep the warranty sticker intact!!!! Thanks for sharing - because of you I saved money and my kids are able to use their favorite console once more.

I bought an XONEX just to replace this thing because my little brother tripped near the disc drive while it was open (which sent it out of alignment, luckily the tray didn't crack), then I found your video and literally fixed it by myself. Now it's up and running better than ever thanks to you!

Very useful especially when you forget what was holding ur drive in snug (rubber grips) and also when u replace cable to drive and need to go back to original one.. u made my job much easier after seeing ur case open...ty

Thank you. I used your information to fix a disk tray that I pulled out of alignment. I almost tossed the whole thing but I was able to get it to work because of you. Thanks again!

Great tutorial totally recommend it. Just the way he goes through every step without missing anything is just amazing love you bro keep it up

Bought a used 360 Slim with a stuck tray at my local comic shop for $5 and your video helped me take this summabish apart. Thanks!!

Thank you for this video - my kids got the disc drive stuck in theirs so managed to sort it thanks to this! Very clear instructions.

Excellent attention to detail. I genuinely appreciate that you notice little things.

Awsome. My son is 8months and open the CD tray and knocked the crap out of it. Got it working again thanks to your video. Thank you very much

Thank you!!!!!! Came home from work and the wife tells me our 1 yr old has broke the Xbox. The tray was stuck open and a weird angle. Your video saved the day. Thank you!!

Hi Well I accidently broke the xbox. A safey panel dropped on the tray. I watched a few KZfaq videos and your one was great. I fixed from a very happy mum.

Great video :) did the same repaire about a year ago and gave up on looking for a good guide online and worked it out myself. I wish this was around then, but it is nice to see I did it the right way :)

Excellent tutorial, thanks for taking the time to put this together. I've now fixed my disc tray. So, all good... until my 1yr old daughter decides to break it again! 😀

Wow! thank you so much for your time to do this detailed helpful video.. i managed to open my xbox step by step as you showed! didn't break anything! i really fixed the CD tray that was stuck for a long time! finally! and put it back together like never been opened! lol! Thanks again.

I had my tray come off its track. This video saved the day. Very clear instructions. Great guide. Thanks 🙏

Thank you so much! I got an Xbox 360 for my dad to replace the one that died on him for Christmas and the tray didn't open so I watched your video and it helped out a lot!

Legend! Thank you so much for the good explanation. I did accidently hit my tray downwards while it was open. Therefore, my tray was stuck and could not be closed. Thanks by your tutorial, I was able to remove the tray and put it back in correctly. After hearing that ‘click’, I knew it was sitting right again. Thanks man, 5 stars for you! 😊

Thank you for your instructional video, I was afraid I was going to break any of the clips off the panels. The track wasn’t off for me, I had a disc that I didn’t realize that had sticker residue on the top and stuck to the top disc holder in the disc drive, preventing it from opening. Love your through and precise steps, thank you again!

Thanks for this! I had a sticky drive. I have never taken a console apart before and was terrified. Followed your instructions - got in - fixed the disk - got out with no problems. Have to say they go back together so much faster than they come apart!

Liked and subscribed. I put my xbox 360 in my sons room after i bought my xbox one. I used it in there mainly as a dvd player for him. Then the tray stopped opening fully on its own and wouldn't play discs anymore. Used this video tonight to disassemble to unit and found 3 lego wheels stuffed inside the cd drive. System works perfectly again and is no longer in his room.

i still play my 360 way more then xbox1 and ps4

This video is the best guide I could've asked for, although you should have mentioned replacing the belt in the drive, eventually they can get old and lose their shape.

Thanks for the video! This helped me fix a drive that was stuck open and jammed (thanks kids). Other videos instruct you to break parts when opening. This video is the right way to open an xbox slim 360. Thanks again!

"Case dismissed..... hehehe" - It was a good joke but the giggle at your own wit was the cherry on top that actually made me laugh.

No broken parts and a single tiny hole to release the last pesky latch! (6:18) Thank you for sharing!

I don't own an xbox 360 but my friend has one and the same problem happened to him I watched ur video and I fixed his xbox he was really happy thank you I subbed.

Thank you so much. The video was very helpful and I loved the step by step process. I've got ours working again. Kids gotta love them. My 8 yr old I thought broke it. So thanks again.

Great tutorial mate. Help me out a lot especially the hole underneath the tape on the back.

Absolutely the best video on how to fix this problem. I watched several videos and this is very detailed and accurate. Take your time and this will fix the problem.

Thanks for the help! I had trouble getting the front of it off the way you did. I simply unscrewed the back first and the front basically fell off! But other than that you were a ton of help. Thanks again!

Thanks for the video you really helped me out. I thought my Xbox was headed for the graveyard. You have no idea how much you helped me out. Thanks a ton.

this video was great. helped me to fix the door. & showing how to put everything back too. thank you for making this video

Great tutorial!!! I followed it step by step and repaired my stuck tray. Couldn't have done it without this video! Thanks!!!

Hello! Thank you for this detailed video. Followed it step by step and got our xbox 360 working again. So happy as now I can get back to guitar hero. Thank you and have a good one!

Thought i would need a new xbox... this video saved me some money. Great breakdown

If anyones still having probs you need to lift the black dvd tray upwards. Be very careful not to exert too much force or break anything. You start at the back and try to lift the tray above the slots to free it. If you can get 2 at the back done on the same side you can slide the tray out. Worked for me anyway.

Best video so far on fixing a 360 optical drive!! Thank you thank you

Perfect tutorial! This was a 10/10 step by step guide for the everyday guy. BRAVO!

Hey may thanks a million for this guide. Instead of paying $40 for a new 360 slim I spent 40 mins repairing my old one.

AMAZING VIDEO! So comprehensive and detailed. And thank you for the humor at 12:56 - "case dismissed!" 😆 I was cracking up and definitely needed a laugh during this process. Thank you!!!

Very good video. Thanks for showing the right way to open up the case. Wouldn't want to break it!

I just watched this video and Fixed my Xbox 360 , yes it’s old but I still like it ..!!! Thanks a lot for the good video

Easy to do following your excellent guide lines. Thank you 👍

Thanks for the video. Was able to use this tonight to fix a xbox 360 slim stuck tray.

Thank you so much! I finally understood how to fix my xbox with this video

Hey thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! You helped me fix my tray my grandson broke lol...

dank je wel voor deze zeer duidelijke uitleg.heeft mijn Xbox gered van de vuilnisbak.Mijn diskdrive ging niet meer dicht,dank zij jou is dit opgelost.

great video, only thing that was not there was lining up the arrow on the big gear to point backwards before you put it back on the track. Thanks for posting this.

Thanks so much. This was very helpful. Best video on how to fix my xbox compared to the rest.

Nice guide, i wish that I saw your video first. There were this other guy on youtube that break those plastic.

Thank you for this easy and detailed tutorial 👍

Dude you saved me like 130 bucks, thank you!!

Most useful video on KZfaq. Now I can start playing Minecraft again

Fixed it with my buddy. Works great now. Thanks for the great video!

Dude youre a really great host. Love your style and this really helped me out. Thanks!

Your video was bliblically useful!!! thanks a million mate... guess what? I found a shooting duckling which my 2 years old daughter placed on the tray... guess I have found the YDOD (Yellow Duck of Death) thanks again man (y)

12:55 "Case dismissed" 😂😂😂

I don't know what to say thanks man I have this problem with 4 years and it's working fine omg

Do u turn on the Console when reconnecting the connector to the drive and putting on the face pannel and pressing eject

You know what, just like with my Original Xbox, I'm going to replace the DVD drive altogether, Microsoft doesn't seem to have a good track record with reliable DVD drives. Thanks for showing us how to properly dismantle it, my good man.

Finally a decent Xbox 360 teardown. Had no problems with disassembly. But unfortunately couldn't fix my disk tray. Something is still preventing the tray to open by itself.

You can also use put a paperclip in the yellow hole on the side to make the tray open.

Super cool i got this thing done in an hour thanks dude

The disk tray in my Xbox 360e jammed shut and would only open a small amount, and after watching several videos and trying everything I got extremely agitated and ripped the disk tray out, I put it back in and now it works great

Such a throwback to the 360

What tool did you use to take the bottom part of the system (when you took the black screws out)

Thanks! You made this so easy to follow!!!

13:35 I can't figure out this part. My disc tray isn't just having trouble opening sometimes, it's just completely physically stuck. It won't slide any further than about half an inch before being unable to progress. It can't close, and it can't open either. Help?

ah thanks man, your video was very informative and it worked , thanks for your help , gained a new subscriber

This worked for my xbox really well thank you.

thank you so much! I was able to fix my sons xbox thanks to this video! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! :)

I was going to fix my Xbox using this method, but I didn't have to. I kinda dropped it sadly and that apparently fixed it the tray works properly surprisingly

*THANK YOU SO MUCH! EXTREMELY HELPFUL!* 👍

Thank You so much, your video helped me very well!

Can you attach a link where you purchased each tool digitally or can you list the name of the items you use to fix the console, please? I enjoy the tutorial

THANK YOU! I FIXED MY TRAAAYYY OMG

Well done!!!! I like the way you do things correctly in lieu of just breaking things along the way. Thanks very much. It was verrrrrry helpful.

Worked for me, thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks a lot. Worked for me!

What tool did you use to take the black screws out? Im stuck on this part. Help!!

... many thanks. This tutorial works perfectly.

THANK YOU, right to the point! got a free 360 E, which looks like it has the same drive. looks like someone before me couldn't figure it out, even after opening it themselves. So they took the hard drive and left it to die xD
