How can I fix my Xbox 360?

I went to play some Fallout earlier and my Xbox said “open tray” instead of loading the game like it usually does when I turn it on. I opened and closed the tray and the system made two audible clicks while saying “reading” before it gave up and said “open tray” again.

I’ve had this issue before about 6 months ago and it seemed to fix itself after I opened and closed the tray several times. I blew it out with a can of air duster to no avail, and I did the whole unplug it and take the hard drive thing which also did jack squat… is there anything else I can do without having to send it in to Microsoft? (I’ve already had to do this twice).

Also, I should mention that it was working perfectly fine just last night.

In before “console gamer, lol” and “should have bought a PS3”
