Honestly, just replace the drive. It's usually easier and less time-consuming than trying to fix it. Amazon has decent prices.
Had this issue before! I removed the drive, gave it a thorough cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, and reassembled. Worked like a charm!
Might sound crazy, but give your console a gentle tap near the disc drive area. Sometimes, the mechanism gets stuck, and this can help reset it.
