Then, securely holding the console, use your thumbs to pull the faceplate off the front of it. Start off by shutting down the console and removing all the cables plugged into it.

If this isn’t working for you, give the next section a try. If you’re struggling with the credit card method, you can also use your thumbs to snap the faceplate off the front of the console, then use your fingers to tug at the protruding portion of the disc tray as the console clicks after a press of the eject button. Inserting a credit card horizontally into the top of the closed disc tray, press the eject button and when the clicking noise occurs bend the credit card back toward the console, applying leverage to force the tray open. No, you don’t need to spend money for this solution, but if you hear your console click when it fails to eject the disc tray, this trick may work for you. Sometimes the tray just needs a little motivation to open, which you can give it with a simple credit card. The OG that kicked off the seventh generation of video game consoles hasn’t yet kicked the bucket, so if you’re still rocking one of these bad boys and the disc tray is giving you trouble, give one of these options a try.
