The hole is for the manual eject in case of drive / power failure. Using it should not break a drive.

If you can open your case (and not voiding your warrenty) check to make sure the power is connected to the drive.

It may be too that your optical drive failed.

Buy a new one. I hope you didn't try to open the drive while burning a CD...that can mess it up.
