    i got an air compresser and blew gusts of air into the disc drive , which blew the dust away and out from the cd drive.

    Okay this will sound weird, but if it reads unable to read disc. Then yes the laser is getting weak, if you don't have the means to repair it in the near future, there is a technique you could try. When the cd is inserted moderatley bang an inch or so above where you place the cd. There are many videos on youtube. Just type "how to fix xbox 360 open tray error fixed"

    The disc reader inside your xbox is getting weak it will need a repair. Happened to mine once.

    oh no...

    your laser in your xbox is dusty/broken.

    just get some compressed air and shoot it right inside. if that didn't work...bad news. call up xbox support line and hopefully they'll help you =]

    good luck
