I put a cracked CD into my DVD drive (stupid, I know) and it made a loud bang and exploded. No part of the computer seems to be damaged, however the CD shattered into over 50 pieces. I managed to get what appears to be all of them out (I opened up my DVD Drive completely and can't seem to find any stray parts), but now my DVD Drive won't close. It closes for a second, makes a sound, and then opens again. This is what it looks/sounds like:

I'm considering just buying a new one and tossing this, but does anyone have any ideas as to what I could do to possibly fix it?
