    Probably a piece of plastic broken off on the inside. You need a gamebit to open the carts. Sylentwulf sells some great gamebits, but I don't have the link to his website. Someone?

    If its the kind of back that has the star center.....not the larger NES style screw. you can get those at your local hardware store.

    Drop your Xbox on it. That will open her up.

    I noticed stores like e&b, gamestop etc. have many of them, and they are around 10 dollars, so if all else fails mentioned above then try those sources .
