Welcome to XboxIssues

Welcome. I decided to make this blog after being a Xbox Ambassador for a number of years.

If you don't know an Ambassador is a Volunteer that Microsoft uses to help ease the load on the actual hard working support people.

I noticed that alot of the questions I would get could easily be solved by using Microsofts Xbox.com site.

Since some of the help articles may be hard to find, understand or the issue may be called something different in the gaming community making it more difficult to solve, I've decided to make this blog to make it easier for fellow gamers to get xbox assistance, news and all things Xbox.

If you have any Xbox related question you can find the answer to feel free to contact me on YouTube, twitter or in the comments.

HOW TO: Manually eject a disc from your Xbox One console

So you need to send your Xbox One back for repairs or for some reason it will not power on, and you have a disc inside the needs to come out.

After looking at your console you may notice that there appears to be no manual eject button or hole anywhere on the One.  Don't fret there is a way to manually eject a disc from your Xbox One console.





1.  Disconnect the power cord and any other cables connected to the console.

2.  Uncoil a large paper clip.   Note A standard-sized paper clip is not long enough to eject the disc. You must use a large paper   clip because it must be inserted about 1.5 inches (nearly 4 centimeters) to successfully eject the disc.  

3.  Find the small orange rectangle behind the vents on the left side of the console.



4.  Insert the straight end of the paper clip into the eject hole, which is located next to the orange rectangle. You may have to angle it slightly forward (toward the front of the console) as you insert it.
5.  The disc should pop out slightly. Pull out the disc the rest of the way with your fingers.
Note Make sure the disc isn’t sticky and doesn’t have a label that might prevent it from ejecting again in the future.
