Yea I'm trying to play a game and its not reading any of the disks. I have no clue whats wrong, does anyone have any ideas on whats wrong and what I should do to fix it?

Put the disc in, making sure to note how the disc is oriented in the tray. Close the tray, and listen to the drive. When it's done, open the tray, and see if the disc has spun. If not, and you didn't hear the normal sounds, the disc drive is broken. You will have to send it to Microsoft to be fixed, which sucks since those places specialize in RROD. Once it gets to the facility, RROD Xboxs are almost instantly sent back repaired or replaced, whereas when I sent in my disc drive broken Xbox it took a week just sitting there (not including the week it took there and the other one back).

its one of the newer model Xbox's. Its the model that came out after the Elite was discontinued. my brother could probably fix it, he's a manager at a game stop and is good at fixing these kinds of things.

Doesn't this go in games?
I don't have an Xbox or anything at the moment, so sorry.

That will break the warranty or any chance of official help with the system. Some people can handle fixing them, but if anything goes wrong, remember that Microsoft will not help you with fixing it. They make sure a system is untampered when they arrive.

Wouldn't they allow a game stop to attempt to repair it? It seems like they would. Oh well, I'll talk to him about it later.

What makes you think they would? If anything, you should think they wouldn't, because that's just a regional retailer or whatever. Microsoft makes sure nothing is being modified past a point, where they are repairing stuff you've done on purpose to it yourself.

Home fixit tricks I use on mine:

#1
Take disk out of tray. Close the tray, and let the xbox whir and whine while it checks to see if he disk is there. If the disk was taken out, it should whirr loudly and then stop. Do this a few times and put the disk in.

#2
If previous doesn't work, tilt the xbox onto its right side, at about a 40 degree angle, and shake it lightly. Place down horizontally and do the top thingy once, put disk in.

it works for me

it is spinning, but the disk isn't being read. i think that its getting cought on something, i put my hand in the disk thing as i shut it, and the thing that spins the disk was spinning, i just think the disks are getting cought on something.

open tray,
close tray,
tap tap tap hard or something (not too hard may scratch disk)
should work

if doesn't repeat.

Trust me on this one, it works for me every time. I know it might sound like I'm joking but this works completely every time that this happens to me. While its reading the disk, pound on your system until it starts reading the disk. Remember not to pound too hard or too lightly.

That youtube video doesn't work for me, because my Xbox doesn't make that loud whizing noise...it wines one time and then it says open tray in like 5 seconds.
