- A detailed tutorial video on How to open the Xbox 360 Slim CD / DVD / Disk Drive tray without damaging your console and to fix the stuck tray.
Make sure you check the limit switch right next to the cd drive motor as if it's loose it will also cause the tray to jam. See 12:10 in the video.

My door is kind of stuck open do I have to get all of the screws to open it up like you showed me
@@user-jk9ln7op3w I just did. If you do everything he does it works but I think I needed one of his suggestions not shown (I need lithium grease for the tray gears and track)
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!
Is the small slot ur referring to the one with unlock icon beside it????
@@strictlywrestlingreviews6758I'm referring to a tiny hole that a paper clip can fit into...its tiny, so you have to really look for it
Well shit.... lmfao.... thanks friend!😅😅😅
BTW, if you have the same model as the 360 in this video, the little hole that @atacustompainting is talking about is surrounded by a yellow square, and inside that yellow square is a little hole. Just use a paper clip and it will "release the tension" and make it open. Now my disk drive opens up with no problem. I hadn't touched my 360 in over five years and the disk drive was acting like an ass.
Anyway, thank you to @atacustompainting and the author of this video for the help.😎🤘🤘✌️
Thanks for the info!
Definitely worth the watch. He goes over some good points about taking your time and not breaking all the clips. Great job sir....
I'm confused on that part. I know the holes, but where are the clips? I've tried looking inside the hole, but I can't see anything.
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!
Think that's what just happened to me
bruh my band is in i took a flashlight to it when i got the disc tray opened
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.
Hey Ben, no worries at all!
No joke i just pushed my tray in because of this comment and got the disk tray unjammed. Your kid is a legend in my eyes
"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.
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!
i still play my 360 way more then xbox1 and ps4
than*
Cause the 360 is the best old console
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!!
Currently goin thru the exact same thing you said...
Christopher Robinson Why would she blame it on a baby? XD
Same thing here
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. 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!
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
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
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
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! 😊
Hi Well I accidently broke the xbox. A safey panel dropped on the tray. I watched a few CZcams videos and your one was great. I fixed from a very happy mum.
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.
Excellent attention to detail. I genuinely appreciate that you notice little things.
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!
No broken parts and a single tiny hole to release the last pesky latch! (6:18)
Thank you for sharing!
Haha I was a beast trying to open it 🤣 poor Xbox
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.
Yes
Dude you saved me like 130 bucks, thank you!!
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 :)
+Michael Hodgson Thanks, I hope your 360 is still going strong
this video was great. helped me to fix the door. & showing how to put everything back too. thank you for making this video
Easy to do following your excellent guide lines.
Thank you 👍
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!
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.
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!
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.
@ريان مروة عربي
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.
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.
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!
Yeah heat and adhesive dont mix well
Thank you for this easy and detailed tutorial 👍
Thank you so much! I finally understood how to fix my xbox with this video
Thought i would need a new xbox... this video saved me some money. Great breakdown
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!
So if I take it apart it's easy putting it back together
Best video so far on fixing a 360 optical drive!! Thank you thank you
My roommate's parents just offered me their old Xbox 360 for free. I know the disc tray is jammed, and this should (hopefully) do the trick for fixing it. I bought some 360 games at a retail store a few years ago. Very cheap, but they aren't Xbox One compatible, so this fix would make the whole thing a steal.
Thanks!!
just fixed mine with your help.
Great tutorial mate. Help me out a lot especially the hole underneath the tape on the back.
Fixed it with my buddy. Works great now. Thanks for the great video!
This worked a treat - Thanks so much!
You will NEVER find an xbox that clean in the US. That's in impeccable shape.
Very good video. Thanks for showing the right way to open up the case. Wouldn't want to break it!
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!!!
Thanks! You made this so easy to follow!!!
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.
No problem at all. Glad I could help. Here's my patreon if you feel like contributing. www.patreon.com/GlobalGarageAus

Hey thank you so much for the awesome tutorial! You helped me fix my tray my grandson broke lol...
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
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)
No problem mate
THANK YOU! I FIXED MY TRAAAYYY OMG
so while i turned my volume louder he was opening disk tray... lets just say my heart is pounding.
thank you so much! I was able to fix my sons xbox thanks to this video! thank you!! thank you!! thank you!! :)
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
That was the most helpful video for this. Thank you so much
Super cool i got this thing done in an hour thanks dude
Oh also, I'm sure you're probably aware by now or have been told.... you don't need to plug the drive back in to eject it, you need a pin and poke it into the hole on the side towards the front. Mine had a round yellow sticker highlighting the area. Sticking the pin in there will pop it open easy as.
Thank you, this was SUPER helpful!
Perfect tutorial! This was a 10/10 step by step guide for the everyday guy. BRAVO!
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.
Dude, you're a life saver!
I don't know what to say thanks man I have this problem with 4 years and it's working fine omg
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
Worked for me, thanks for the tutorial.
awesome tutorial, thank you!!! Solved my problem. :)
Thank you, worked like a charm
Bro thanks a lot 🙏 u jus saved me from buying another system!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Saved my life, everything went perfectly.
No worries
@@GlobalGarageAus 😉
this really works because it happend to me and thank you bro
Nice guide, i wish that I saw your video first. There were this other guy on youtube that break those plastic.
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.
Great video! thank you so much im a first time novice and I was able to follow along and fix my 360
No problem Sara
12:55 "Case dismissed" 😂😂😂
Really well done video, thanks!
ah thanks man, your video was very informative and it worked , thanks for your help , gained a new subscriber
omg SOOO HELPFULL thank you!
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.
*THANK YOU SO MUCH! EXTREMELY HELPFUL!* 👍
You’re a bloody legend mate thank you
OMG THIS WORKED THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
Found a 360s on a council dump week yesterday. Now I have a free working Xbox 360s. Never owned an Xbox. Cheers m8
