...so, my 360 is acting up, i'll give you guys an example of whats going on. So i finsish a game of CoD WaW. I go to the dashboard after being in the lobby. I decide to play say...Halo 3, so i press the button to open the disk tray, it opens with CoD WaW still spinning :shocked: < Shocked, i quickly pick it up to stop it scratching! Whats going on here? Someone give me a diagnosis....

Thanks :thumbsup:

~Hi there,, is your 360 on its side or flat?

~Hi there,, is your 360 on its side or flat?

Its on its side, yeah!

Does it happen every time?

Try putting it flat. I honestly don't recommend to anyone to have their 360 vertical unless you don't have room or something.

Its horizontal!

You posted that it was on it's side. Well, if it is already flat, I don't know what to tell you.

Does it happen every time?

Yes (Cool picture by the way:w00t:)

It normaly happens because the person has the 360 on its side. But you say yours is flat. Um I would say when you go to finish a game go to the dashboard, that way the game will stop in the drive, and then you can eject it. that way it wont scratch.

Then Im out of ideas,, that what my old xbox used to do, and thats how I stopped it.. But then I went out and got another one...

If I was you if its still under a year old, take it back,, tell them whats wrong,, and they should change it for a new one. If you can take it back to GAME.

Its quite over a year!

Still,,, some GAME stores, will still take it back if you ring up and ask to speak to the manager.. I have taken my one back twice now,, and both times then 360 was over a year old.

I had a friend who's xbox did the same thing, but unfortunately there was no resolve to the issue. He just takes it out as soon as it opens so it doesn't scratch as much. Then about a month ago the cd drive just died all together :sad:

the problem is it held together by glue

Ahh, cool! I'll try that then!:thumbsup: Thanks!

put it on its side then the disc will fall out if it is spinning

^^^^^^

I say that.


Or you could replace the DVD drive? Though it will mean voiding your warranty..

Hmm...nice idea!!:w00t:

Yes, but it might not be under warranty anymore. How long is the warranty, a year or something?

Nope, been more than a year! :sad:

Looks like you'll have to buy a new one dude :undecided:

dude you may just need to give it a second for it to stop spinning before you pop out your game and put in a new one. I might also suggest turning your xbox off and restarting it, just so you know that the game isn't still spinning.

I thought that the warrety was now 3 yrs because of the RROD?
