Removing A Stuck
Game
Using An Xbox Repair Guide
It can be
extremely frustrating
having a game of yours get stuck in your Xbox 360 system.
The natural reaction is to
freak out and try
to rip it out. Then
again you could take
it into Microsoft or some repair shop to get the game out.
However, if you want to
save money you can
get it out yourself by purchasing or downloading an Xbox
repair
guide.
There are ways
for you to
manually remove the disc on your own.
The first thing your Xbox 360 repair
guide will tell you to do is unplug
the power for a few minutes while allowing your Xbox to reset. After this you will want
to re-attach the
power cord to see if this did the trick.
If you did not receive any results, turn
the power off and unplug it
again.
Now things will
get a little
more complicated making it essential you follow each step in your Xbox
360
repair guide closely. Next
you will
remove the face plate on the console while grabbing a thick paper clip
or something
similar and straighten one end of the paper clip.
After removing the face plate you will
see two small holes
underneath the DVD player and one hole to the right.
The next step
will vary being
that there are three different DVD drives the Xbox 360 uses. If you have a Samsung or
Toshiba, your Xbox repair guide will advise you to find the small hole on the right
underneath
the X on the DVD drive faceplate.
You
will push your straightened paper clip in the hole until it hits the
gear. The gear
needs to be spun from left to
right. You will
want to continue to
push gently until you feel it move.
If you have a
Hitatchi DVD
drive, you are going to want to poke the first hole on the left. Follow the same procedures
that are listed
above by poking the hole to get the gear to move.
Regardless of what type of DVD drive you
have, it is vital you
take your time and do not push too hard.
If you miss the correct spot you can do
more damage than good.
As
soon as the tray starts to
eject you will be able to pull on it slightly to help it open.
From there, you will have
no problem
removing your game thanks to the helpful Xbox repair guide saving
you
hundreds of dollars.
