How to Open the Disc Tray on an XBox

The original Microsoft Xbox is a versatile video game console that allows players to play and enjoy hundreds of video games. Unlike many other game systems, such as the Nintendo Wii or the Sony PlayStation 3, the Xbox uses a disc tray (that is, a tray that extends from the Xbox in which to put games). Knowing how to operate the disc tray is an essential skill to be able to enjoy the many video game titles on the Xbox.

Instructions

- 1
  Place your Xbox on a level surface. Placing the Xbox at even a slight angle or on its side can cause the disc tray to malfunction and not open.
- 2
  Connect your Xbox to a power source. The disc tray is electronically powered and can become stuck if you attempt to open it without providing electricity.
- 3
  Press the "Eject" button on your Xbox. This is the large, round button located to the right of the disc tray. This will open the disc tray and allow you either to insert or remove a disc from the system.
