  • Help with my Xbox 360?

    Everytime I put in a disc, it says "Open Tray," as if nothing is in there. I know it's probably an issue with the reading mechanism... but how do I fix it? I've tried opening it, taking out the disk, and then putting it back in. I've also tried knocking on the top of the disk compartment. Sometimes this makes it read longer, but it still fails.

    It fails in two ways - 1) Just two clicking noises and then "Open Tray" again

    2) It reads but as it starts to rumble it just goes back to silence.

    Can anyone suggest ideas or pinpoint the exact issue?

    Thanks, and happy holidays!

  • My water tastes weird?

    I recently bought a home-water dispenser machine, so it could be more convenient for my family and I to drink water. However, I've noticed that there's a little aftertaste that you don't taste in bottled water. Is this normal? Does it have to do with the sanitation of the machine?

  • My Computer keeps running out of data?

    I have a 2005 Dell Windows XP computer. It runs perfectly fine, and is relatively reliable. However, my computer never seems to have any memory. My C Drive is very small, only 10 GBs. I want to know if there are any things I can clear up on my C Drive. I've been searching through the whole thing trying to clear out unnecessary things, but it's come to the point where nothing can be deleted and I have, at the most 20-50 MB's. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thanks
