360 drive eject sticking

**ACE_UK** · 5th November 2009

Hi my xbox 360 drive will only eject if I bang the machine lightly on top , otherwise it just sticks , I have removed the face plate and thats not the problem , any ideas if it can be fixed easily enough ?

Try re seating the silver/white tray cover.

I had this problem recently with an old MS28 drive. Took the belt out of the drive and dunked it in boiling water and left to cool. Gives it back its elasticity. Worked fine after that. Google it - there is a pic tutorial somewhere

Thanks , I will google that now as I have never taken one apart before so pics will help

DELETE PLEASE : MY INTERNET WAS SLOW AND IT REPOSTED

Bugger ! now I have put it all back together the drive just keeps ejecting and staying ejected and the small green light flashes on the console ??

Did you remove the drawer ? If yes the drawer it's not back in the correct position, you should of just ejected it half way so you can see the belt through the gap and remove it, taking the drawer out can be a right pain to get back into position...

pm me your address ill post you out a brand new xbox 360 drive belt free of charge, that should help you

putting in boiling water works for a while but it will go again

**ACE_UK** · 5th November 2009

No I never removed the drawer I probably just pulled it out too far

Thanks Detector , very kind :tmb:

Sorted it now , I used a screwdriver to rotate the cog to eject the tray so I just rotated the cog the opposite way and its fine

Thanks again everyone
