SUCCESS! Hallelujah! Praise God!
I got the drive out relatively easily. The face of the tower has a button on the right, but it moves a bar across the front of the drive. It IS a standard drive, so it would be an easy replacement.
Mounting screws on ONE side, two plugs. Drive is front-loaded into the tower box.
I took the cover off of the drive, and one of the gears had been knocked off the spindle. I placed it back on, remounted the tray, and reassembled everything. now the open/close function is back, and I'm playing a CD in it as I type this.
YAY!

Because I said so.
