When I put a game in it says open tray. If I open and close the tray, after about 15 minutes, it detects the disc and starts the game. Does anyone know what that might be from or what I could do to fix this?!?

easy solution one when you put disk in your console, you smack the top until it reads play or disc unreadable and bam it plays. Now you might have to really smack it hard at times. The other option is all future games you buy, buy them on the marketplace and download it to hard drive, and you ll never have to worry about it. Other then that you need to buy a new xbox if not microsoft will charge like 100 bucks, screw that your better off buying a new one.

OPEN TRAY ERROR..read and tried everything…wouldn’t read any game discs..have xbox slim with no harddrive..was about to reformat whatever I could reformat.. tried one last thing..inserted a dvd instead of a game disc and it read..reinserted a game disc and it reads now?? This wasn’t a fluke..must have jarred whatever repressed distorted memories the xbox had..do these things ever make sense?

You see that is part of the problem. Alot of the children on here don’t know whether to wind their ass or scratch their watch. I am on my tenth x box. My third this year. I simply refuse to get back a reconditioned x box. I complained enough to microsoft that they send me a new one everytime i send mine in. I will not except anything less. You have a bad drive. Box it up send it back. Or go buy a new one.

Take the drive apart and get the top piece out of the drive case. Put a game on the spindle and place the magnet from the top of the drive case on to hold it down. Start your console and watch to see if the game spins at all, if not eject then close the tray (carefully being sure the top magnet catches and holds the game in place) and as soon as it closes give the game a spin with your finger to see if it will break loose the spindle motor. If it works the motor may just need greased, if not the spindle motor is shot. Very easy to replace, just a few screws.
