Re: Disk Drive Jam

I have this same problem, i had it working for about a month but now it does it again. When i fixed it i just took off the little rubberband and washed it in hot water then i Just pushed the tray in and out and it worked.

Re: Disk Drive Jam

I just hit the top of my xbox and it pops out... Probably not the best solution, but it works.

Re: Disk Drive Jam

Thats a common issue with Samsung drives.
But its easy to fix by replacing the rubber band in the drive

Re: Disk Drive Jam

I hope not to jinx myself here, but I've never actually seen the "3 red lights".... I've seen orange ones, but not red. (Wasn't connected to my TV properly) Anyways, My disc tray jams once in a while, and I just smack the top and it comes out... I figured it was from standing up, and since I sat it down it hasn't had nearly as many problems

Re: Disk Drive Jam

Well I'm going to flash it before too long. Once I get my new laptop I probably will, so in a month or two... That'll prevent any kind of disk problems, and aside from that, it hasn't jammed in a long time.
