Does it take two presses to eject it? It might have put itself in Mode B somehow or maybe the eject button is getting stuck?

hi there m8 is your 360 been flashed and no u dont have to get a new one
its the drive that needs to be fixed well the top of it what holds the disk down

awrite guys no its not flashed and i asked my local comp shop and they said 90 quid because i need a new drive and it has to get flashed so the new 1 to work

[blakey_8]

Yeah he's right about the flashing because the key from your console has to be put in the drive to "marry" the drive to your console's motherboard. But a new drive is only about 35 quid :|.

awrite cheers guys for your replies im just going to buy another 360

Well you can sell your old one and just say it needs a new DVD drive. As long as the console functions, i'm sure somebody would pay a good price and get it fixed .
