@@cube5380 @Jon844 I just wanted to apologise for the comment I made a year ago now. I realise how stupid it was and I wanted to thank you for calling me out.
@Jon844 See reply from MMIX, I'm really sorry.

2020 and this video saved my husband's entire evening. A friend let him borrow Fable 2 and his 360. The disappointment that man felt when he couldn't make it go. You have no idea how much you helped out. Thank you muchly.
This comment made me happy. I literally borrowed my brothers 360 just to play fable 2. This is wild lol. It’s a great game. Hits home and the heart.
I was playing fable 2 last night and got the open tray this morning.
It works
What a legendary wife 😂😂😂

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN SO SAD WHEN MY GTA5 SAID OPEN TRAY CONSTANTLY BUT THIN I WATCHED THIS VIDEO AND TRIED THE TAPPING TRICK AND IT WORKED THANK YOU SO MUCH(Subscribed)
It's 2022 and the first technique helped! Thank you so much! As an inexperienced fourteen year old, I didn't feel confident in taking my entire xbox apart so this saved me.
lol I love the good old remedies! Blowing on the cartridge to tapping the cd drive! glad these classic magical methods work :) thank you magician
While everyone is like OMGGGG!!! IT WORKED.. Im here crying in a dark room feelibg sorry for my dad
This helped out quite a bit! Usually I'd just open and close for an hour or two then rage quit if it didn't work. The first solution worked the first time! Thank you!
Hey there! It’s 2023 and I just found my first gen 360. Tried the first method and I’m blown away it worked. Thanks!

I just bought an xbox 360 in 2020 for 10$ at my local goodwill, and thanks to this video the console works and plays games with only a few taps, thanks!
Having our XBox 360 present the "Open Tray" issue for a THIRD TIME in the last 10 years, I was getting concerned. I'd replaced the drive twice already and since the last time it could NOT have failed - it hasn't been used! Tried the last approach a few times - and wah-bam - she's working again - Many thank!!!
i will forever love you

+SkyboxGuru DUDE OMG THE SMASHINH TREY WORKED YESSSSSS ,my madden stopped working and I tried the smash trey and it worked 💙
Old trick for PLAYSTATION 1 1001 version was to turn it upside down. Check some say it may reck it.. Or the playstation 2 fix for laser was to turn the trim pot up a small fraction at a time.. so you dont burn out the laser. Yes they are ps but if it works hey
1st worked for me after I had tried all 3 thanks
9 years later and it stills works, thanks dude
just tried the tapping method, after 3 tries it worked like a charm. Thank you!
It works it's just that my parents get annoyed when I'm banging on it 😂

Same here

OMG tapping actually fucking worked XD
I know I tried it .and it works.now I can play my NBA 2k17.
It took a few tries but it worked! Thank you so much, I thought I was screwed
Hey, this tap method worked for me on my phat model Xbox 360!!! I was amazed! At first I got a few immediate {This disc is unreadable} errors but after a few attempts I guess that old laser managed to shake rust off. Thanks Trutman!
I tried so many ways that didn't work and then number 2 on here worked first time. Thanks
this actually worked. i am honestly amazed. new subsriber for you dude keep it up
Thank you so much! I got a new game today and it wouldn't load! But this trick really works you just have to put effort into it! You earned a sub and a favorite! Those who believe it doesn't work it does especially the tapping one! Thanks!
Dude, I tried so many different things, and tapping actually worked!
Finally the one video that actually work and not clickbait thanks bro
Hallelujah ive been messing with this for an hour, thank you so much!
I was NOT expecting the tapping trick to work, but I was proven wrong instantly
Thank you So much, dude. You made my day a Brighter one with your help :-)
Awesome video! I actually tried these from the third option backwards, but the first option in the video is the one that worked... Tap tap tap, OK, it was more of a hard knocking. Don't want to do it every time, but thanks!
It worked in 2 seconds, thanks man, your a god damn rock star.
You have saved me approximatey $200 dollars in money for fixing my xbox! thank god for you!
I honestly didn't believe the tapping method would work. I mean I had opened my console up and cleaned the eye and it still would not read anything. Then I came across this wonderful video and did the tapping method and voila it worked. I thank you so much. I've had my arcade for about 5 years I think and this just gave it new life until I get a new console as well as put this one in it's box and give it the retirement it deserves. Thank you so much, I subbed and liked :)
Thx brooooooo I don't know how to thank you it's 2022 and still get the vibes
DUDE OH MY GOD 😂😂😂😂😂 I was just fiddling with NCAA14 cleaning the disc and inserting it for 10-30 mins (the usual ritual to get it to work for me) then this time was taking exceptionally long so I wanted to try and find a fix and this worked first try. My jaw literally hit the floor once I saw it started to load and I just busted out in laughter, thank you so much man 😂🤙.
Edit: after this becoming my new ritual for games I've realized if you repeatedly knock the entire time it attempts to read it may not work as well. I have a much higher success rate doing a few knocks then waiting like is shown in the video!
Your a lifesaver!!!! It worked!!! I kept trying the smacking one and each time the disk turned a bit more and more until it worked!
bro holy shit i have my xbox top took off and was like well how can i bump this frankenstien but i bumped the disc tray with finger while starting console first try game started i been trying for 2 hrs now... gods work my dude
WOW Ty! Could not get tapping to work, but surprisingly method #2 worked first try!
First step, worked immediately after. I can't thank u enough fam, U da real mvp ;-;
2020, went back to play some skate 3 the second one worked for me im so happy thank u
Dude you are a live saver my black ops 2 didn't work before and now it dose thank u
Idk how but it’s 2023 and you saved my life
Thanks man the tapping actually worked i thought it was going to scratch my disc thumbs up!!
wow the last trick works! My open tray button don't work, but i use the A button on the controller to open the tray. This trick really works. My tray gets jammed and i always gotta tap the xbox
My x box 360 is used in the vertical position. The taping trick worked on the first try. Thanks for posting this vid.
Holy shit!!! I've been "crying" over this for 3 months and just watched this video today and it worked on the first try!! Thank you SOOOOO much dude!!
Who the fuck cries over this? This generation...
JoeyDoesVlog Im pretty sure if you lost your favorite game you would cry too
i did
Mahmoud Medhat He did say "Crying", as in, he wasn't actually crying, just that he wasn't happy about it.
Man you saved me!!
May our creator bless you in each and every way. May you have a wonderful life.
You are a saviour.
Wow i am so shocked!!!I never comment on CZcams videos but I really had to do so with this one...Thanks
Method 2 worked for me. What a life saver lol didn't do the tapping method kinda thought it would break quickly.
Been struggling with the open tray error for over about a year or 2. Takes me over 30 minutes to get Mass Effect 3 going. Watched this vid, tapped the xbox, worked first time!!! Thanks a lot!
Thank you. I had to open and close my Xbox tons of times to get it to read discs…did this worked first time
You a goat for this man.. Hadn't used my 360 in a year, came across the vid, first step fixed it EASY
Dwight Smith how did you do it I need help please
Jos e the first step worked after the second try. Put the disc in and tap the Xbox pretty hard as it’s you close it for a few seconds
I combined the first and the third and it worked, thank you:)
The smash trick worked! thank you so much I haven't played a game (on disc) in a week!
Thankyou! worked! i am currently playing my games with a huge grin on my face :D
OH MY GOD!!! Thank you SO SO much! It's almost 2020 and it worked. 😢
Tapping trick worked!! Thank you!!
I did a combination of 1 and 2 and that worked for me, thanks!
I didn’t think it would work by tapping it but holy shit!! I just wanted to feel some nostalgia and This Helped me, thanks!!
Thanks Man still using your trick and it always works
wow i did not expect for this to actually work. At least for a while.
Thank you very much. The high tech tapping method worked for me.
Thank you so much! the tapping actually worked :D Thanks again!
Thx man second step helped me alot u made me not pay another $300 to buy another xbox thanks really halped me
The tapping trick worked for me! Thanks bro! But I would never consider the "smashing" trick... It looks like a good way to break your xbox tbh
Ah, the old "beat it into submission" trick.... it worked. thank you
Lol I'm very surprised to say it.....but the banging on the system while the trey was closing actually worked......thank you so much
