Things You'll Need
Instructions
Power your Xbox off. Remove the connections from the back and remove the controllers to allow easier access to the disc-loading tray.
Straighten a paper clip to use for the procedure. According to Microsoft, a thin paper clip works better than a thick one.
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."
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.
Grasp the open edge of the disc-loading tray and pull it all the way open with your hand.
