When loading a disc in your Xbox 360 console, the disc spins but is not reading
Nov 3rd
When i thought i had every Xbox 360 error, another one came along.
The problem:
When loading a game into my 360, the disc spins for a second then stops. From displaying “Reading” it quickly changes to “Open tray”.
Possible causes:
1) There’s a problem with the console
2) There’s a problem with the hard drive
3) There’s a problem with the disc player – the laser got lazy

Yesterday evening i started up my 360 – which a few hours before that worked just fine – only to get the 4 rings of death.

Today, my boyfriend got me a friend’s cables and tried them too but i got the same error.
Hold on now! This ain’t right! I looked again to it, but the up right quadrant didn’t flash. It appeared to be red though. Crap! Read the rest of this entry »
