How To Fix The Open Tray Error on Xbox 360

I read about a million suggestions on how to fix this, most of which included hitting the x-box. I tried a few of these and none worked. Then I found a tutorial that suggested deleting all your DLC. (You can re-download it for free).

I deleted all the DLC on my X-Box 360, then cleared the cache and rebooted. Opened and closed the tray a couple of times and it was working again.

Which means I don't hafta fork out £69+ for a new console.
