Strange 1 this, I was playing L.A Noire last night but forgot to knock the 360 off, got up today & put DIRT 3 in but it wont read it. Tried a few more games that have always worked but none of them will read anyone got any ideas?
cheers

does it just sit on the dash and say 'open tray' or does it attempt to boot?
is it flashed? if so what drive
Yeah just says Open tray, it's flashed but not sure what drive, ive had it about 4-5 years
Just had a quick look & it's a samsung drive on this site http://www.llamma.com/xbox360/Xbox_3...Comparison.htm

It was in game but i had pressed the xbox button on the controller before i forgot to nock it off, so dont think the game will of been reading the disc.
U might of done the dash up date, instead of turning it off. Try signing in to live to see if it asks for the dash update. the new update re-flashes the DVD drive.
try an original disc see if that loads or a dvd
My Xbox has been banned for about 3 years m8, so havent done an update by mistake
Anyways, strange 1 this. Just got in from work, fired DIRT 3 on to test before i tried an original & guess what, loaded straight away???
Confused now ...lol
Gremlins ?!?!?!?
Probably heat...... Your box has cooled so your laser has cooled.

Yeah looks that way, i'll remember to switch it off in future ...lol
thanks for all the help
Nope.. Deffo Gremlins !! Its a known fault in early 360s and you did say u had it about 5 years... Thats just before M$ did the X-Gimp fix to sort the gremlins...
I almost replied with this answer earlier, and then thought about it and after I re-read it it sounded wrong.
Does ther laser heating up distort the lens or something, and if so, wouldn't that damage it permanently rather then being OK once it had cooled?
I think your right, I'm just not sure how it would happen.
Anything being on for 24hours with heat will expand. Plastic or glass, even the solder that holds the diodes on could crack.
Could be anything.

doesnt the 360 have the shutdown option which dimms the screen after 5 mins them shuts completly down after 30 mins of inactivity .... sure mine does !?! big3
