Click

DVD drive does not eject, menus work fine. Not sure if it plays games or not.

Have you tried pushing the eject button then tapping on the front of the DVD tray?  I have to do this on one of my XBOXes when there's no disc in the drive.
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

the rubber band on the motor is stretched.

or the motor is worn.

or your looking ring in the lid top is sticking.

the motor's and band can be pulled from any most other drive's like an old pc drive etc. there is nothing to them when it comes to repair really.

I appreciate the tips, but I already decided not to try and fix. I just have too much going on, and don't have the time.

I figured it's repairable - hopefully it'll draw a decent price on ebay. Not too much interest in it so far.
