xbox 360 not reading

having a problem with my 360 ,it just wont read the disc's anymore and says "open tray"so do this and then close the tray again ? is this the end of my chipped xbox and advise would be gratful

 

Tons of stuff for you to search on this topic. You'll need to replace or recalibrate the laser. Go with replace.

 

What chip? Should be a flash not chip. Your laser is probably dead. replace the laser or the drive.

 

thanks for the advice guys/girls but were would i be able to purchase a lite on driver for the xbox ? and is it just a simple swap or is there soildering involved ?

 

thanks ppl spoke to a realy nice guy after some looking on the net and going to have my driver changed, rather then just the laser as i have no knowledge of soldering and just easy for me to just change the whole driver !

 

Replacing the laser on a Liteon drive doesn't require any soldering.It's an easy job and is a lot cheaper than paying for the whole drive to be replaced.There are loads of tutorials (http://www.pothsprojects.com/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=535).Thats the one i used a few weeks back.Hope it helps.

 

There is a Ball of solder you have to remove

 

Oops forgot about the static point.Not very hard to remove though.
