DVD Burning Media

Below are some of the common issues that can arise with your Xbox Slim DVD drive and the steps on to fix such problems.

The Drive Tray is Stuck Open
✔ The faceplate of the drive could be open or not fixed properly. Gently push the faceplate in at the corners and sides, to ensure there is no gap, you may hear a clicking noise. Now press the Eject button again. The tray should slide shut.

✔ This step requires a light but firm touch. The tray could be misaligned along its gate. Catch the tray with just your thumb and the finger next to it and very gently, move the tray up and down and then side to side. Do so slowly, do not pull or push in any direction. Then press the Eject button.

✔ If the disc tray tries to go in and then ejects immediately, check the DVD disc itself. Is it sticky or raised in any way? Maybe the disc wasn’t fitted in the tray properly. Try removing the disc and press Eject once again, to see if the tray will go inside.

✔ Look at the quadrant of LED’s on your console. If the console’s power is off or fluctuating between off and on, then the disc tray is not closing due to insufficient power. Check your power connections, see if all cables are plugged in properly.

If all the above steps fail, then it’s best to consult with the Microsoft Xbox Slim support as your console may need to be repaired.

The Drive Tray is Stuck Shut
✔ Check your console’s power lights. Fluctuating or no power will not allow the tray to open.

✔ Disconnect your console’s power supply. Rotate your console, such that it is horizontal like a DVD player and the vents are facing you. Look for a yellow sticker, located on the left side of the console, behind the vents. There is a small eject hole, right above the yellow sticker, use an open or uncoiled paper clip and poke the hole. The tray will slightly pop out, pull out the tray with your fingers. read more »

Best reply by Hacked Off:

It doesn’t really matter, they aren’t firmware locked like the Xbox 360 one.

The Samsung one seems to be most compatible with DVD/CD media – see link below.
