Ok here's the problem:
Since about 2 weeks, my xbox 360 started to open the tray by itself when playing a game (backups or originals) and it even open while not playing and being turned off (it just turned on, and poped out the tray while i was sleeping, kinda scary :P)
I even got the ''dirty disc'' error once, but it never did that before those two weeks and its starting to do it more often
It seems to me that it's a different kind of ''open tray'' error ...
maybe it has to do with the laser... i just don't know
but since I didn't find any topic on that, I decided to start one...
can you help me ?

Just a thought...
When was the last time you had your 360 apart? I've never had it happen, but by any chance is pin on the bottom of the eject bezel crooked? If it's pinched up against the motherboard's eject button, that might be why it's ejecting sporadically. If not, you might have a ghost lol

had a friends do this, did it when the case was open and no eject button present. My guess is it was a short in the eject button, send it to Microsoft, they will fix it.

It's been 1 month or more since I flashed it...
I will check the eject button pin (which is another awkward design by microsoft :S), but it open sometimes at night without any reasons, thats weird!
I can't send it to microsoft because the warranty has ended and anyway i broke the warranty sticker
will keeping a rubberband or something on the eject button will prevent it from opening ramdmly?
or will I have to open the drive and have a look on the mecanism?

Tbh, i would just take the plastic casing off and leave it overnight and see if that helps, otherwise just check the eject button isnt bent or getting pushed against something
