EDIT: Ok I manually opened the tray, however, the xbox still thinks it is always in the process of either opening or closing. It never makes the 'click' sound like it's trying to open or shut though. I have NO idea what to do here.

Sounds like the motor crapped out. Will it actualy boot up or is it giving an error or looping/freezing out at the logo screen? There are some things you can try but if it is mechanical failure that means replacement. Which is quite easy just take it out and pop the new one in- just like a PC. Check to see what brand it is and check for a manual for a similar model a lot of the mechanical troubleshooting/maintenance will be the same across the board hence the generic manuals all companies release
1. The gears could just be stiff- Open it and work them manualy to loosen them up- be gentle
2. The band is stretched- needs to be replaced
3. The band has come off the gears- put it back on
4. dirt build up in the track/gears is impeding it- clean it
5. The case has been screwed shut to tight causing friction with the face plate - loosen the 6 case screws
At no time should you touch the laser-eye or mess with the boards
