I worked on an OG Xbox before with a similar issue where the tray would not stay shut. For that one, the issue was the laser assembly not raising back up all the way after the tray is retracted. The way these disc trays work, is when it is ejected, the laser assembly drops down just before pushing out the tray. When it retracts, it gets raised again before locking itself into position to read the disc. It's possible the tray might not be seated/locked properly in place, so it won't stay shut. It's been awhile, so I don't remember how I fixed it, but a fresh rubber band for it might help. It could be that the old band is too weak for the final effort to lock the laser in place, which requires more strength than the rest of the process of opening and closing the tray. Sorry if this is a bit long, I'm not good at short-and-sweet.

XBox player here. We bought each generation of XBox on release. I've modded a few XBoxen, both OG and 360. I have a 1.6 that I need to fix; I managed to FRAG it while doing the LPC rebuild. I plan on installing an HDMI kit. Since the drive works sometimes, this would be a good candidate to softmod. Since you already have the key piece (your copy of Splinter Cell), a softmod would bypass the reliance on the optical drive.

The disk drive ejecting like that can often be down to damage from a leaking Clock Capacitor - it begins to corrode the traces along the front edge of the motherboard which carry the signals for the drive eject. It can be repaired by checking continuity of the traces with a multimeter and repairing any broken or intermittent traces with a length of wire. While you're in there rip out that clock capacitor - they're very bad news indeed on v1.0 - 1.5 consoles and WILL damage the board. Any of these consoles where this hasn't already been replaced or removed will be leaking by now to some extent so if anyone reading this has one of these consoles I'd urge you to check this now.

I've had both original Xbox consoles I got on Ebay constantly open the drive and never stay shut, from everything I've seen and read the Xbox disk drive breaking is an inevitability. Sometimes it's the band, sometimes it's the entire drive, sometimes the clock capacitor leaks and it's irreparable. The best bet with these things is to just install homebrew and play games directly from an HDD.

We both already owned the console we won and didn’t have the other. His controlling wife yelled “that’s going back where it came from” and wouldn’t let us trade. Now I have two and it’s the only console you can play Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller on. Hooked up to my RT5X with OEM Component.

I had a Playstation 2 Slim and, later, an XBox 360, but I did want an original XBox particularly to play the first two Project Gotham Racing series games as the first one was essentially an upgraded version of Metropolis Street Racer from Dreamcast, one of my favourite Dreamcast games, with the addition of a New York map and licensed cars from exotic car manufacturers like Ferrari (which MSR didn't have). Once I had a hard drive for the XBox 360, I was able to add backwards compatibility and I bought the first two Project Gotham Racing games (and also the original Forza Motorsport) but, while they were playable on XBox 360, there was a significant amount of slowdown. In 2011, I finally got an original XBox that I bought from a Value Village (well, technically Village des Valeurs since it was in Gatineau, Quebec, just across the Ottawa River from Ottawa, Ontario, where I live) thrift store (it's the same thrift store chain known as "Savers" in many American states) for all of $10 Canadian, although it was just the console and I had to spend another $40 to $50 on a controller, power cord, and connector cord. It has some intermittent disk-reading issues (probably why I was able to get it so cheap, even by thrift store standards) but it works well-enough with the games I wanted to play and still works today. I should probably get that clock battery removed since it will leak sooner or later.

I was a PS2 guy and couldn't wait to buy it. Was jealous of a work mate who had the XBOX as his was modded. I stuck with Sony till i bought the PS3 which i thought was a huge disappoint compared to my PS2. Then the PS3 died twice once under warranty with HDD failure and later the laser burnt out after warranty. As a primarily retro gamer i stayed clear on the next gen and only just bought a XBOX series X about a year ago. The Series X feels solid and i play probably once a month on it. I prefer retro gaming from my childhood more so the XBOX collects dust. Still a good system though
