CD-W refuses to stay closed

[kaf11]

A few weeks ago my cd-w drive stopped recognizing all disks (both audio/media and blanks for writing) and will not stay inside the computer. Whether a disk is inserted or not when I push the button to close it, it goes in for a few seconds and then opens back up. It worked perfectly until this problem arose. The device is an ARTEC WSM-52X. It is listed in the device manager and it says it is working properly. If anyone can help me out it would certainly be appreciated.

It can be all you need is a pair of scissors and some tape
