First, give your Xbox 360 a power cycle: turn it off, unplug everything, wait a minute, plug it all back in, and turn it on. If that doesn鈥檛 work, try cleaning the disc drive lens with a lens cleaning disc or some compressed air. Still no luck? You might need to take it apart and check for loose or broken connections, but that鈥檚 for the brave souls out there!
I fixed mine by opening it up and cleaning the laser lens carefully with isopropyl alcohol and a cotton swab. If you're comfortable with a bit of DIY, this might save you a bundle!
Forget the rest, the best way is to contact Microsoft support and have the pros take a look. Less stress, more gaming.
Tap the top of the Xbox 360 when inserting a disc. Sounds crazy, but it worked for me! Just a gentle tap usually does the trick.
