How To Remove A Stuck Game From Xbox 360
By Mike D Tucker
Halo 3 is stuck inside your 360 and you want to get it out. There is a way to manually remove it. First you will want to unplug the power for a few minutes to let your reset. Re-attach the power cord and see if you can now eject your DVD.

If that did not work turn the power off and unplug it. Remove the faceplate on you console. You will need a thick paper clip or something similar. Straighten one end of it out. With the faceplate removed you will see 2 small holes right underneath the DVD player and one hole to the right.

Since Microsoft decided to use 3 different DVD drives the procedure will vary. If you have a Samsung or Toshiba drive use the small hole on the right. Should be right underneath the X on the DVD drive faceplate. Push your straightened paper clip in the hole until you feel it hit the gear. The gear needs to be spun from left to right. Poke around until you find it then push in gently until you feel it move. You will see the tray start to move out.

For Hitatchi DVD drives go for the first hole on the left. Beng DVD drives will use the middle hole. This requires the most pressure to get the gear to turn. You will see the tray start to move take your time and do not push too hard in case you are missing the correct spot. Once the tray starts to eject you can pull on it slightly to help it open. You should now be able to remove your Game.

So why did your game get stuck in the first place? There are a number of reasons for this. If you are having loading problems you may have

a broken gear. There are a number of other plastic parts inside the DVD drive that can break. You are probably better off replacing the entire drive. Replacements are a lot cheaper the replacing your entire console.

Once you have your console opened up removing and replacing the drive is fairly easy. If the above procedure did not get your disk removed you can remove the DVD cover and get your disk out.

Repairing your game console is really not that hard is you take your time and follow a few guidelines. You should also get a hold of a good repair guide or manual.
