Here is a fix I did a while back for a person who had an older Xbox who had a tray that would not open at all. Also have done this to another one with the same problem and it fixed the stuck drive tray issue here as well. Please note this is not a permanent fix but it is a very cheap alternative as to replacing the whole drive or buying a new Xbox all together. Please be careful in doing this procedure and I will not be responsible for anyone performing this repair. Below i listed 2 video links, one on how to open the Xbox without the case tool and one on how to perform the drive repair.
