How to Perform Manual Open on the Xbox

If a game disc is stuck or incorrectly inserted into your Xbox&'s disc-loading tray, the loading tray may not automatically open when you press the "Open" button. Fortunately, Microsoft designed the Xbox with a manual-release option. This option allows you to manually open your Xbox&'s disc-loading tray, which allows you to retrieve the game disc inside.

Instructions

    • 1

      Power your Xbox off. Remove the connections from the back and remove the controllers to allow easier access to the disc-loading tray.

    • 2

      Straighten a paper clip to use for the procedure. According to Microsoft, a thin paper clip works better than a thick one.

    • 3

      Locate the tiny hole underneath the disc-loading tray. On some Xbox models, this is located under the "B" in the logo. On others, it may be located under the "O."

    • 4

      Insert the straightened paper clip into the manual-release hole. Push it in at an angle, going to the left. Wiggle it around and push it back and forth gently until the disc-loading tray pops partially open.

    • 5

      Grasp the open edge of the disc-loading tray and pull it all the way open with your hand.
