When I click on the eject button the tray of the samsung drive makes some noise but doesn't open. It's as if something is preventing the tray from opening. when that happens I need to wait a few seconds and continue clicking the eject button (on the console itself or the remote) until the tray opens.

does anyone else have the same problem?

Yes I've seen the drive being stuck closed on several systems. What's worked for me every time to repair them is to open the drive up and remove the black rubber band looking piece that connects the 2 pulleys. Clean it up and boil it in water for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Clean the 2 pulleys with some rubbing alcohol and replace the band. Should open and close normally after that.

***Looks like w00ly struck first......(shakes fist)***

If you lightly tap on top of the tray, it'll pop open. You need to clean the drive belt. Many available tutorials on youtube. You're going to need a pair of tweezers, some warm soapy water, some q-tips to clean the pulleys...etc. If you still have trouble, make sure the xbox is laying flat instead of upright when you eject the first time. Should be ok in either position after. Good luck.

"All drives should be updated to Lite Touch + (LT+) firmware if playing on XBOX live. Samsung drives and pre-78/79 Hitachi drives do not utilize AP 2.5. All other drives are considered to be detectable by Microsoft (YMMV). Make sure all rips are ABGX verified, contain SSv2, and patched AP2.5 (where needed). XGD3 must currently be burned on new drive with PC Burner Max firmware for 100% rip. All modded consoles can be potentially unsafe for use on XBOX live."

I agree with this method, unless there is spare drive with a good belt sitting around. Samsungs are known for this as well as the BenQ
