Why your Xbox won’t read discs

First, unplug the power cord from the back of your console and wait for at least 10 seconds. Then, plug the power cord back in and press the eject button on the front of the Xbox.
If that doesn’t work, you can try using a straightened paper clip or a similar-sized object to manually eject the disc. Locate the small hole on the front of the Xbox, insert the paper clip into the hole, and gently push until the disc tray partially opens.
