You'll probably just have to open up your disc drive and see if anything jammed up in the gears.

There's a lot it could be. I had one about that age that I had to replace myself. You could always just order a replacement drive, or simply pop the metal sheathing off the top of the drive and look inside for a better idea of what the problem is.

It sounds a lot like something is physically obstructing it, and we can speculate any number of things; but actually getting in there would only take a few minutes, and would ultimately answer the question for you.

Heck a lot of times it's something stupid like a coin or animal hair clogging the tray mechanism. Believe me, fixing these things for friends and family, I've seen it *all*.
