now im curious ive got a Xbox 360 ive given to my 2 younger brothers and they have told me on the phone the disc is not ejecting

Depends. You may have to solder if you want to switch the boards. One other thing you could try: Just take the box and the drive apart (take off the metal housing of the drive) and clean it up. I got me an Xbox 360 that was so dusty the drive didn't want to open.
I used a hair drier to get all the dust out. Now it's working good again (this may also give the box a better cooling).
Also, if it is an old Samsung drive, they are notorious for this error, it normally means that the rubber band in the front part of the drive is worn out. Try getting a new rubber band that has the right size (here in Germany WMF (a flatware store) has the rubber bands).
Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

Yes there is I already gave you a link on how to do it with a paper clip.I guess you didn't read my post before.Here is also a youtube video that shows you how to do it.
Good luck.

I doubt that this works when the drive is phyiscally damaged or the rubber band is worn out. By the way, with the drive I had it was the rubber band too, didn't want to open again yesterday, so I switched the rubber band, now it works again. So this happens to Lite-On drives too, not only Samsungs.
