Xbox 360 E console: How to manually eject the disc tray
Follow these steps to manually eject the disc tray:
- Disconnect the power cord and any other cables connected to the console.
- Position the console horizontally, as you would position a DVD player.
- Find the yellow sticker behind the vents on the left side of the console.
- Insert the straight end of the paper clip into the eject hole, which is located in the centre of the yellow sticker (as shown in the picture below).
- The disc tray should pop out slightly. Pull the tray out the rest of the way with your fingers.
Note If a disc is in the tray, make sure that it is not sticky and does not have a label that might prevent the tray from opening again in the future.
