Hey new member here. My xbox 360 is over one year old, about a month ago i had a friend from work flash it and it was playing backups perfectly. Two days ago i took it to my brothers house to play madden 2010 and when i brought it back home it said open tray!! i put an original in and it booted up, then put the backup back in and it played. I got off work yesterday wanting to play and it did the open tray again as soon as it booted up, does this with games, originals, backups, dvds and cds!!! I took the xbox apart opened up the drive and tried it like that. The laser turns on and starts to spin for 2 seconds then stops. Then it says open tray! This sucks but if anyone could help it would be appreciated! I have a benq drive.... thanks

Try cleaning the laser with a q-tip and some lense cleaner. If that fails search for the term "POT Calibration" which should fix it.

I would recommend not attempting the pot calibration without a multimeter.

Yeah, sounds like it needs a cleaning and a pot calibration to me.
