Usually the drive it's laser is toast and need to be replaced. The problem now is, that almost no laser can be found for any disc drive model for the Xbox Original. Samsung drives do have this issue a lot, also the rubber band issue is common.
Replacing the drive is a possibility (you can replace the disc drive for any other model, PCB transfer is not needed), but again, very difficult to find. If you can find it, it will most likely cost around $90-100.

Sorry for the bad news :(.
