Disk Drive Won't Close

I replaced my original thomson drive with a samsung drive and it worked perfectly for about a week. Now when i open the disk drive to change games it will not close. The drive opens with no issue, but pushing the button to close it does nothing.

I have seen that the samsung drive has a reputation for sticking and not opening, but i am having the opposite issue.

Does anyone know of a fix to this?

The belts in the old optical electronics perish over time. Just get a new IDE DVD drive off of Amazon or something if you really care enough about that system to buy a new drive.
