Do you have an external DVD drive or can you get one and try inserting a cd again?

when this happens to me i replace the drive with a new working drive and problem is solved

The sensor in the ROM might be damaged. The drive is shown because all other hardware of the ROM is fine. You will have to get a new one or connect this one on an another PC, see if it works. All the best.

cant stay closed ,it has to be mechanical ,the door is broken ,it needs to be repaired or replaced

it could also be a lack of voltage if you have added more hardware

will it stay closed if you try closing it without a cd/dvd in the drive
