This also didn't work for me. At first i tried the foam 2 sided tape with a piece of the clear cd at the bottom of the spindle, didn't work. tried the double sided tape with a layer of dvd case, no go. just read unreadable disc comes up faster. Tried 2 pieces of foam tape with a piece of clear cd, no go. tried a piece of foam tape with just a piece of paper on the other side didn't work any better. tried layers of tiny pieces of electrical tape 2,3,4,5,6 i ended up going with 3 layers and it works a little better, still takes 6+ tries if it does load the game, 1 backup will work every try, marvel ultimate alliance 1st or 2nd try every time (except for when i had 2 layers of tape then it wouldn't read) but it is a memorex all others except 1 are verbatims (the other memorex game has problems loading) these backups were done on a 111d w clone cd and all work 1st try on samsungs and till about 4 days ago always booted on this hitachi 1st shot. any ideas??? My friend is unsure which firmware he used but were gonna reflash to stock then try a new version (or older if it works better) any firmware reccomends?

I tried this on my hitachi 47dj but still dose not work any suggestions please

[shah120]

Hey,
I tried adding velcro to it but nothing seems to work. if i add both sides of the velcro then no discs including orginals are read and if I do it with just one side, orignals are read but nothing else. What else can I use instead of velcro and glue?

[s10blazed]

After my initial success with my own Hitachi 59 I tried this trick on a Hitachi 46 without success.  I've done .5, 1, and 2 layers of rubber band with similar results every time.  Does anyone have other suggestions?

Can the laser lens be dirty?

How should I clean it?

Is adjusting the POTs for the laser common to do?

What is the preferred value?

Origionals still boot fine, but known good backups always give the open tray message.

[jbaruch76]

ok, i started with one piece of the plastic cd,then two, then i wrapped some extra tape around it, then i used half a rubber foot from the 360. none have worked. and everytime i open the drive up the laser is in the same place (not touchig the button.

[throwsumgame]

hooray it worked thanks so much

    Hi Folks,
I have a drive that i have tweaked, and only now I have the open Tray- once I put it back together again.

It worked fine before dissamble but wasn't playing all my back ups. I have tweaked through the range and also tried to put back to original resistance. (OPEN TRAY)

The 360 boots up and the drive doesn't spin with disk in at all, the eye moves slighly. If disk is in from cold boot or from opening the tray, it says reading(no spinning) then OPEN TRAY?

This happens with backups and originals can anyone help?

Cheers your help would be really appreciatted....

i flashed my hitachi 47dj and it will play regular games, but it won't play backups it says "unplayable disc" i have tried this method but it did not do anything, i tried 1mm, and 2mm, both did same thing anyone knoe of something?

Works perfectly on my 47DJ, 1mm thick plastic from DVD case, no more open tray messages

...........

I got in a hitachi 46DH,,  Did not work  Still have the open try mess ,, And it never starts any games orginal or bakups. It worked fine to restore the firmware and put in ixtreme 1.4 no probs but still Open tray is all i get.

[foaley77]

Should this fix work as this xbox I just bought has open tray and has not been modded

[Rikachu]

This worked for me (==)

Super-glued it on. (Please make sure you only use a very small drop!)

Only thing is, i can hear the DVD drive make a slight 'click' once every now and again.

Otherwise, it's all working fine so far... i even took the opportunity to clean the rubber spindle.

Also did this MOD (while ago) and it worked!

Didn't used a piece o plastic, though: I've used several layers of duct tape to control the bumper thickness (around 0.5-1mm).
