Is the CD still stuck in there? If it is, you should get a thin stick (an unbent paperclip will do), and poke it into the small hole on the front of your CDROM. Do this when your system is off.

Anyways, it sounds like your drive is dying, you should probably get a new one.

Your CDROM drive probably needs cleaning.

You could try using a CD cleaner disc but I prefer to clean the lense with compressed air. To do this you would have to open the CDROM case.
