I was playing a game for about 20 minutes and all of a sudden I hear a loud sound like a grinding sound coming from the DVD tray. I eject my game which is scratched now... and the DVD tray closes but reopens everytime.

So I forced it shut and waited until today and now the tray closes and stays closed but won't read any games. On the dashboard the status says "reading" and then it goes to "open tray" like there is no game in there at all.

MS wants $129 to fix it and this is already a replaced console. I had the warranty from Gamestop but it only covers ONE replacement! So after you use it once, your out of luck.

I read a post where the guy was so pissed he refused to pay the $129, I feel the same. But Madden comes out, I got no choice................

ive just had the same problem with a mates 360, it was also making a grinding sound, I opened up the 360 and found the problem.
Looking inside at the top of the dvd drive inside the console there is a little metal disc which holds the dvd down with a magnet inside, this is stuck down with double sided tape which had lifted obviously to do with the heat indide the console. Thus when a disc is inserted its not clamped in the drive properly.
