It can be extremely frustrating having a game of yours get stuck in your Xbox 360 system. The natural reaction is to freak out and try to rip it out. Then again you could take it into Microsoft or some repair shop to get the game out. However, if you want to save money you can get it out yourself by purchasing or downloading an Xbox 360 repair guide.

There are ways for you to manually remove the disc on your own. The first thing your Xbox 360 repair guide will tell you to do is unplug the power for a few minutes while allowing your Xbox to reset. After this you will want to re-attach the power cord to see if this did the trick. If you did not receive any results, turn the power off and unplug it again.

Now things will get a little more complicated making it essential you follow each step in your Xbox 360 repair guide closely. Next you will remove the face plate on the console while grabbing a thick paper clip or something similar and straighten one end of the paper clip. After removing the face plate you will see two small holes underneath the DVD player and one hole to the right.

The next step will vary being that there are three different DVD drives the Xbox 360 uses. If you have a Samsung or Toshiba, your Xbox 360 repair guide will advise you to find the small hole on the right underneath the X on the DVD drive faceplate. You will push your straightened paper clip in the hole until it hits the gear. The gear needs to be spun from left to right. You will want to continue to push gently until you feel it move.

If you have a Hitatchi DVD drive, you are going to want to poke the first hole on the left. Follow the same procedures that are listed above by poking the hole to get the gear to move. Regardless of what type of DVD drive you have, it is vital you take your time and do not push too hard. If you miss the correct spot you can do more damage than good.

As soon as the tray starts to eject you will be able to pull on it slightly to help it open. From there, you will have no problem removing your game thanks to the helpful Xbox 360 repair guide saving you hundreds of dollars.
