First, unplug your Xbox 360 and remove any discs. Use a can of compressed air to blow dust out of the disc tray and the vents. If that doesn't work, you may need to open up the console to access the laser lens and gently clean it with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Be careful, though—this can void your warranty if done incorrectly!

Unplug your Xbox 360, open the disc tray, and use a can of compressed air to get rid of dust. If that doesn't help, you might need to get professional help to clean the laser lens.

Just use a can of air! Blowing out the dust works most of the time.

Man, I had this issue too! Unplugged the console, popped open the tray, and used some compressed air. Worked like a charm. Don't open up the console unless you're tech-savvy though; it's tricky!
