    Hi. My kid got an xbox from santa and the disc tray won't open. Theres nothing in it, i've checked by manually opening it. The tv screen says open disc/close disc but the xbox physically isn't responding. Anyone got any solutions as he's really disappointed and the shop won't be open until sunday. Thanks.

    Unfortunately I think any solution would probably involve opening the unit and voiding the warranty so I think that waiting until Sunday would be the best bet I'm afraid.

    Is there not a pinhole to push open the tray manually eith a pin like on pc disk trays?
