If you’re like me, you’ve been through the frustrating experience of having your Xbox One console refuse to eject a disc. The good news is that you can try a few things to get the disc out. Here’s a quick guide on how to manually eject a disc from your Xbox One.
Introduction
How do you eject a disc if the Xbox One console doesn’t have a disc drive? You can use the Xbox One console’s software to eject a disc.
To eject a disc using the Xbox One console software:
- Press the Xbox button to open the guide.
- Select Settings
- Select Restart console.
- When prompted, select Yes to confirm that you want to restart the console.
- After the console restarts, try ejecting the disc again.
Why the Xbox One Manual Eject Feature May Not Work
The Xbox One console has a Manual Eject feature that is designed to eject discs from the Blu-ray drive if the console cannot do so itself. However, there are some instances in which this feature may not work as intended.
One potential reason for this is if the manual eject pin is not properly aligned with the disc tray. Another possibility is that the disc tray itself is not properly seated in the console. If either of these conditions is present, it’s possible that the manual eject feature will not work correctly.
It’s also worth noting that even when the manual eject feature does work as intended, it’s possible that it may damage the disc in question. For this reason, it’s generally advisable to only use this feature as a last resort when all other options have failed.
How to Eject Your Xbox One Disc Manually
If your Xbox One doesn’t eject the disc, there are a few things you can try to get it out. First, make sure the Xbox is turned off and wait a few seconds. Then press and hold the Eject button for about five seconds. You should hear the disc tray start to open. If it doesn’t, try pressing and holding the Eject button again for a few seconds.
If that doesn’t work, try unplugging the power cord from the back of the Xbox and then plugging it back in. Once it’s plugged back in, press and hold the Eject button for a few seconds. You should hear the disc tray start to open.
If neither of those methods works, you can try opening the disc tray manually. First, unplug the power cord from the back of the Xbox. Then locate the manual release hole on the right side of the console, just below the disc tray. Take a paperclip or similar object and insert it into the hole. You should feel resistance after a few millimeters; don’t force it any further.
Press and hold the paperclip in while you plug in the power cord to turn on your Xbox One console. The disc tray should open automatically; if it doesn’t, press and holds down on the paperclip until you feel resistance, then pull out slowly until you hear clicking sounds coming from inside your console – this means that you’ve released the latch inside your Xbox One that’s holding your disc tray closed shut.
What to Do If Your Xbox One Disc Still Won’t Eject
If the manual eject button still doesn’t work, try the following steps:
-
-
- Turn off your Xbox One console by pressing the power button on the front of the console.
- Unplug the power cord from the back of your console.
- Wait at least 30 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back in.
- Press and hold the Xbox logo on your console for about 10 seconds until you hear a beep. The console will restart automatically.
- Try to eject the disc again:
– Press and hold the eject button for about 10 seconds until you hear two “powering down” sounds and then one “ejecting” sound coming from your console
– If this doesn’t work, try pressing and holding down both the insert and eject buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until you hear two “powering down” sounds and then one “ejecting” sound come from your console - If neither of these steps works, it’s time to contact Xbox Support
